AI Strategist

About the role

Tenex helps companies put AI to work across their operations. As an AI Strategist, you’ll combine consulting and product management to help clients identify problems to solve, translate them into product requirements, and lead work through rollout and adoption.

You’ll work directly with executives and the teams doing the work each day. Alongside Forward Deployed Engineers, you’ll turn decisions into working software and workflows. You’ll own business requirements, product direction, and adoption for your workstream; your engineering counterpart will own architecture and software delivery. You’ll also build prototypes and automations using AI and low-code tools to test ideas and clarify requirements. You’ll report to an Engagement Manager. Success means the client uses what your team delivers and can measure how it improves their business.

Responsibilities

• Interview teams, map processes, and identify where work is delayed or requires unnecessary manual effort.
• Assess opportunities, estimate their business value, and help clients decide where to start.
• Turn discovery into requirements, priorities, and acceptance criteria, keeping scope grounded in client needs as you learn more.
• Run executive discussions, explain tradeoffs, raise problems early, and give clients a clear recommendation when their proposed approach needs to change.
• Work with engineers to resolve product questions, test prototypes with users, and coordinate feedback.
• Build prototypes and automations with AI, SaaS, and low-code tools where useful.
• Plan rollouts, train users, gather feedback, and track usage and business results after launch.
