AI Process Consultant
Interlaced, a Lyra Technology Group portfolio company, is looking for an AI Process Consultant (APC). The APC will embed directly inside client businesses, uncovering the operational friction that holds them back, designing the workflows that will replace it, and partnering with AI Engineers to ship solutions that change how these organizations actually run. You won't be writing slide decks that get filed away; you'll be working directly with small and mid-size businesses interviewing operators, mapping processes, building the business case, and owning client outcomes from first conversation through post-deployment adoption. You care about the outcome, not the deck. This is a hands-on, client-facing strategy role built for someone who is as comfortable diagramming a workflow with C-Suite leaders as they are co-piloting a build session with engineers. Your work as an AI Process Consultant will include several components:
Embed directly with clients to run discovery, interviewing operators across roles, observing live workflows, and mapping current-state processes that surface high-ROI opportunities for AI and automation
Build the business case for each engagement: quantify the cost of the status quo, model expected ROI, and prioritize a sequenced roadmap of automation opportunities the client can act on
Design future-state workflows in detail: process diagrams, decision logic, exception handling, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, and integration touchpoints, all to a level of specificity engineering can build against
Partner with an AI Engineer throughout the build, translating client requirements into technical specs, validating outputs against business intent, and brokering trade-offs (quality vs. speed vs. cost vs. risk) in plain language
Lead change management on the client side: stakeholder alignment, communication plans, training rollout, and adoption tracking
Own client projects end-to-end: scope, expectations, status updates, escalations, and executive readouts. Serve as the single point of accountability for client outcomes
Run post-deployment business reviews to measure realized impact, surface follow-on opportunities, and build the case for portfolio expansion
Contribute internally by codifying reusable discovery frameworks, ROI models, workflow templates, and industry playbooks that scale across the practice
Facilitate client facing AI workshops, training sessions, and enablement programs that educate client stakeholders on AI capabilities, practical business applications, and opportunities for operational transformation
Our ideal AI Process Consultant has the following qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Operations, Economics, Computer Science, or a related field
Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future
2+ years of professional experience in management consulting, deployment strategy, technical program management, operations, or a similar client-facing strategic role
Demonstrated track record of driving complex projects to measurable outcomes in client or stakeholder-facing environments
Strong analytical foundation — comfortable with spreadsheets, ROI modeling, basic SQL, and quantitative reasoning. Python literacy is a plus but not required
Working knowledge of modern AI capabilities and what LLMs, agents, and RAG systems can and can't do and the judgment to scope realistic AI solutions vs. avoid AI theater
Ability to work independently in ambiguous, fast-moving client environments. You attack messy problems without waiting for a project plan
Exceptional communication skills. You can run a discovery interview with a warehouse foreman and an executive readout with a CEO on the same day
Problem-solver who gets energy from sitting across the desk from a real operator and figuring out where the friction actually is
Willingness to travel regularly to client sites throughout the San Diego area (estimated 25%)
You genuinely enjoy teaching. We celebrate diverse perspectives and are committed to building an inclusive team.*
