Full Job Description
The Role
Artefact is looking for a Senior AI & Data Consultant: an analytical, client-facing consultant who is also a hands-on builder with AI. You will perform advanced analytics, interface directly with clients, and keep project efforts aligned and on track - and you will do it AI-natively. Our senior consultants use AI tools to analyze faster, write better, and prototype what they recommend. When the team needs a quick proof of concept, you're the one who opens Claude Code or Gemini CLI and builds it. We need someone who is not afraid of the terminal.
What You'll Do
Define client needs through interviews with client teams and technology partners.
Perform advanced data analysis and research on high-impact, strategic client problems.
Help build, formulate, and present strategic data and AI recommendations.
Keep internal project efforts aligned and on track, and interface with clients with confidence and care.
Use AI tools daily across your work: analysis, synthesis, writing, and quality checking - with the judgment to verify outputs.
Prototype ideas with agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex): a working demo, an automated analysis, a small internal tool.
Apply core GenAI concepts - prompting, RAG, agents, context engineering - well enough to explain them to clients and stress-test vendor claims.
Develop specialization in at least one AI platform ecosystem: Google (Gemini), Anthropic (Claude), or OpenAI.
Present insights to clients in clear, compelling language - to technical and non-technical audiences alike.
Contribute to new business proposals and to Artefact-published content (research, articles, business cases).
Oversee and mentor entry-level consultants and interns.
What We're Looking For
3-5 years of full-time work experience, ideally in consulting, data/analytics, marketing, advertising, finance, or tech.
Strong analytical skills and experience presenting data-driven recommendations to clients.
Hands-on AI literacy: regular use of AI tools for real work, and demonstrated willingness to build - prototypes, automations, analyses - with AI assistance.
Comfort with the terminal, and with tools like Claude Code or Gemini CLI (or clear evidence you'll get there fast).
Working knowledge of SQL and/or Python for data analysis; advanced Excel and PowerPoint/Google Workspace.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, client-facing and intercultural.
A teaching orientation: willingness to mentor junior team members.
Undergraduate degree, preferably in business, technology, or another field related to our work.
Preferred Experience
Strategy consulting and/or digital marketing knowledge.
Familiarity with GenAI concepts: RAG, agents, prompting, context engineering.
Exposure to a major AI or cloud platform (Google, Anthropic, OpenAI; GCP, Azure, AWS).
Experience contributing to proposals or thought leadership.
The estimated base compensation for this role is $125,000 - $135,000 (NYC location). Individual compensation is determined by skills, qualifications, and experience. In addition, this role is eligible for competitive benefits.
