Senior Level
$100K/yr - $200K/yrTenex Labs is a strategic technology partner for mid-market and enterprise companies, specializing in AI transformation. The AI Strategist role involves translating client goals into actionable plans, conducting AI strategy audits, managing change, and engaging with stakeholders to ensure successful AI implementation.
Management Consulting
Responsibilities
AI Strategy Audits - Lead 2‑ to 4‑week diagnostic engagements to map workflows, quantify pain points, surface data assets, and prioritize the highest‑ROI use‑cases for AI. Deliver an executive‑ready audit that ranks opportunities by impact × effort and includes a phased roadmap
Product‑Strategy Sprints - When a pain point is known but the path forward isn’t, orchestrate a focused deep dive—customer interviews, data capture, product management, rapid prototyping, and implementation planning—to converge on a solution the client can green‑light in weeks, not quarters
Workflow Automation & Build - Pair with Forward‑Deployed Engineers to stand up automated or AI‑driven workflows using off‑the‑shelf SaaS, low‑code platforms, or Tenex’s internal tools
Change Management & Enablement - Design and run training workshops that turn “cool demo” into daily habit. Measure adoption, iterate on UX, and equip champions inside the client org to sustain momentum
Stakeholder Management - Engage directly with C‑suite executives, line‑of‑business owners, and end‑users to keep objectives clear, risks surfaced, and value creation undeniable
Thought Leadership - Feed field insights back into Tenex Labs, publish playbooks, and speak at industry events to cement Tenex as the “McKinsey for AI.”
