Director AI Advisory - Remote - South Africa based (SA Citizens only)
South African executives want AI. Most don't know where to start. That's your opening. We are assisting our client who is building its AI Advisory practice from the ground up, and we need an exceptional senior leader to own it. This is not a corporate role with a warm pipeline and an established brand behind you. It's a rare opportunity to build something meaningful — and be rewarded for it.

What you'll do:
You'll be the trusted AI advisor to CFOs, CEOs, CIOs, and boards. You'll lead discovery, shape strategy, develop high-value use cases, and close flagship engagements. A Senior AI Solutions Consultant handles the technical delivery — your world is the boardroom, the relationship, and the commercial engine.

What we're looking for:
 

• 12+ years in management consulting, technology advisory, or senior tech leadership
• Proven track record presenting and selling to C-suite and board level
• Credible understanding of AI strategy, data, and governance — without being a technologist
• The confidence to recommend a competitor's product when it's right for the client
• An existing executive network in the South African market
• Consulting company background preferred; ex-CIO/CTO with advisory experience equally welcome

 Why this role:
You'll have the autonomy to define the offering, build the brand, and lead a growing practice. Year 1 is about winning. Year 2+ is about scaling what you've built.
If you're a commercially sharp, intellectually curious advisor who wants to own something — not manage someone else's creation — we'd like to meet you.
