Digital Experience & AI Strategy Consultant

Job description

We’re O3 — a design and technology consulting firm that helps companies use data and AI to work smarter and grow faster. We partner with marketing and technology leaders to solve real problems, improve operations, and create better digital experiences. With support from our dedicated AI practice, O3XO, we turn ideas into practical solutions that deliver results for your team and your customers. O3 is also the team behind the 1682 Conference, an AI and innovation conference that serves as an anchor for our thought leadership work. Position Overview The Digital Experience & AI Strategy Consultant is a strategic advisor and growth driver operating across O3's core digital experience consulting practice and O3XO's AI advisory capabilities. This role requires someone with a management consulting background who can sit comfortably at a client's table as a strategic peer — equally credible, developing transformation roadmaps, advising on digital platform strategy and AI adoption, and owning account growth. You'll frame business problems first, then recommend the right solutions (people, process, platform, or AI). Approximately 50% of this role is billable consulting; the remaining time is dedicated to business development and expanding relationships within your portfolio. This role operates at the intersection of O3 and O3XO, driving engagements and providing perspective on where digital experience and AI intersect, and helping O3 accounts grow in both depth and revenue over time.
