• →Partner directly with enterprise brands and retailers to discover, design, and deliver AI-powered commerce solutions—you own the full arc from problem to production.

• A high-agency operator who's spent 3+ years in management consulting or investment banking—you know how to navigate complex client relationships and deliver under pressure.
• Someone who gets genuinely excited about AI tools and jumps into new technology without waiting to be told how. Claude, Replit, Lovable—these are in your daily rotation, not on your to-do list.
• A natural at asking the right questions. You understand that great discovery is what separates a solution that lands from one that misses, and you treat it like a craft.
• Comfortable building in ambiguity and figuring things out yourself. You don't wait for a playbook; you write it.
• Someone whose default way of interacting with SaaS tools is through their MCPs—you'd rather wire up an integration than click through a UI.

• 3+ years in management consulting (MBB, Big 4, boutique strategy) or investment banking. We’re looking for people at the senior analyst and junior manager level who have had experience with independently owning client relationships
• Demonstrated comfort with AI tools in your actual workflow
• Strong structured thinking and communication skills: you can take a messy client problem and turn it into a clear solution narrative
• Technical curiosity without a computer science or engineering degree— a background that signals that you pick up tools fast is a serious plus
• Experience working across sales, product, and engineering stakeholders in a fast-moving environment
