Director, AI Architect and Change Management Lead Consultant

About the role

AI is moving fast. The gap between organizations that harness it and those that don’t is widening by the day—and our clients need a trusted guide to help them cross it. We’re looking for a Director-level AI Architect and Change Management Lead to join Embark’s growing Business Transformation practice and do exactly that.

Responsibilities

• Serve as a trusted AI advisor to executive and mid-level stakeholders across client organizations—translating ambiguity into clear, actionable direction.
• Lead AI governance engagements: designing frameworks, policies, risk management protocols, responsible use standards, and executive alignment strategies that actually stick.
• Facilitate use-case identification workshops that connect business priorities to AI opportunity—pragmatic, prioritized, and grounded in reality (not hype).
• Shape how our clients adopt AI: the frameworks, the governance, the fluency-building, and the vision.
• Design and deliver AI training programs that build fluency at every level—from C-suite leaders setting strategy to frontline teams doing the work.
• Drive adoption strategies that account for organizational culture, change readiness, and the human side of transformation.
• Represent Embark at client meetings, industry events, and thought leadership opportunities to grow our profile in the AI advisory space.
• Contribute to the development of Embark’s AI service offerings, delivery frameworks, and go-to-market positioning.
• Leverage your network to generate leads and expand our AI transformation practice.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 10+ years of progressive experience in management consulting (Big 4 or similar) or a transformation-focused role within a technology or finance organization.
• Demonstrated experience advising executive stakeholders—CFOs, CIOs, and business unit leaders—on AI strategy, adoption, and governance.
• Proven ability to design and facilitate workshops that translate business priorities into AI use cases and roadmaps.
• Hands-on experience developing and delivering AI literacy and change management programs across organizational levels.
• Strong command of the AI landscape—including generative AI, machine learning applications, and automation—and how these technologies apply within enterprise business functions.

Qualifications

• Added bonus if you have:
• MBA or advanced degree in a relevant field.
• Certifications in AI, change management (e.g., Prosci), or related disciplines.
• Experience supporting PE-backed or high-growth companies through technology and organizational transformation.
• Familiarity with AI governance frameworks, responsible AI standards, or enterprise AI risk management.

Skills

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Experience with project management tools and methodologies.

Benefits

• We pay 100% of insurance premiums on medical, dental, and vision for you AND your family.
• Typical compensation range of $180,000–$200,000 based on experience.
• We match 50% to 6% on our 401K.
• Fully paid parental leave for all new parents.
• Monthly stipend for family gym memberships.
• Highly competitive salaries.
• All the technology you’ll need to be successful—the most advanced software and accessories to ensure you get the job done in style.
• Monthly team outings (think: axe throwing, a trip to the State Fair, go-kart races, etc.).
