02 — What You Own

Three pillars. One practice.

This role blends hands-on AI adoption, structured change management, and practical enablement with the ability to shape delivery offerings, identify high-value use cases, and help teams build momentum from pilots to scale.

AI Strategy Consultancy
I.

AI Strategy Consultancy

Deliver early-phase strategic activities that help clients understand where and how AI can deliver measurable value. Conduct AI readiness and opportunity assessments, design bespoke AI roadmaps, and produce executive-ready reports that translate findings into a coherent next-step strategy.

  • AI Business Assessments — readiness, opportunity & impact
  • Bespoke AI roadmaps covering Copilot and Agentic AI
  • Pilot strategies, use-case mapping, and phased scale plans
  • Desirable: Frontier Firm business consultancy
Adoption & Change Enablement
II.

Adoption & Change Enablement

Design and run structured enablement and adoption programmes — training, communication, ongoing improvement — to drive organisation-wide adoption of Copilot, agents, and AI solutions, ensuring measurable usage, value, and clear ROI.

  • Prompt training, Copilot capability sessions, role-specific enablement
  • AI value reporting: usage, satisfaction, adoption metrics
  • Sustain long-term AI transformation beyond initial delivery
  • Evolve roadmaps and monitor solutions in production
Internal AI Leadership & Practice
III.

Internal AI Leadership & Practice

Act as the strategic bridge between client stakeholders and the delivery team. Lead the business as Customer Zero — guiding internal adoption while also contributing to the refinement of AI services, delivery methods, and packaged offerings.

  • Bridge client strategy and technical delivery on agent/Copilot projects
  • Customer Zero: develop delivery-team AI capability internally
  • Shape and refine AI service offerings for scale
  • Stay current with Microsoft AI technologies and the wider AI landscape
03 — Why This, Why Now

The market pull is there.
The delivery capability is there.

What's needed is the person who can connect customer strategy, change, adoption, and scalable service design. You'll be visible, needed, and meaningfully shaping the offer.

Timing

Join at the inflection point, leading customers on their journey into the agentic AI era.

Visibility

Work directly with senior leadership and influence how the practice takes shape.

Scope

Help define what good looks like — for customers and internally.

Specialism

Microsoft-first depth and credibility, not diluted AI exposure.

Agility

Less bureaucracy, more ownership, faster decisions than a large GSI.

04 — Background

Professional at work

What they're looking for

AI Strategy Consultancy

Deliver early-phase strategic activities that help clients understand where and how AI can deliver measurable value — from AI readiness assessments and opportunity mapping through to executive-ready roadmaps and business cases.

Adoption & Change Enablement

Lead AI Adoption & Change Enablement — design and run structured enablement and adoption programmes (training, communication, ongoing improvement) to drive organisation-wide adoption of Copilot, agents, and AI solutions, ensuring measurable usage, value, and clear ROI.

Workshops & Training

Create and deliver training content and workshops — including prompt training, Copilot capability sessions, and role-specific enablement — that bring users on the journey and build lasting confidence with AI tools.

AI Value Reporting

Define success metrics, track usage, satisfaction and adoption, and evidence ROI to drive continuous improvement and sustained business value from AI investments.

Partner or consultancy background

Previous experience within a Microsoft Partner or technology consultancy is desirable — comfortable with pre-sales, scoped engagements, and multi-client environments.

People-centred change mindset

Enjoys supporting users through new ways of working, taking them on the journey rather than simply solving technical problems.

Strong communicator

Able to synthesise information quickly and translate complex concepts for audiences ranging from executives to end users. Personable and commercially minded.

This might not be the right fit if you are...

Broad AI generalists whose Microsoft depth is diluted across ChatGPT, Gemini, or cloud strategy
Pure technical builders who can engineer solutions but not design the people, adoption, or value story
Internal change managers with no consultancy edge or offer-shaping experience
Delivery executors who cannot also define what should be offered or how programmes should be shaped
