AI Specialist

Brentwood / Nashville, TN
Full Time
Experienced
 

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly collaborative and strategic AI Specialist to spearhead the implementation of a company-wide AI Acceleration program for one of our clients.  In this high-impact role within the organization, your primary mandate is to transform how the product portfolios operate.

You will operate at the intersection of strategy, operations, and applied AI — helping clients move from experimentation to measurable business impact. 

Instead of allowing AI-assisted product discovery to happen in isolated pockets, it is required to scale and standardize a shared approach that empowers all product teams to build functional, working prototypes using modern AI utilities. This role sits at the intersection of AI/ML innovation, process optimization, rapid prototyping, and cross-department collaboration — ensuring that AI-first solutions are discovered, validated, and iterated to deliver clear, quantifiable value aligned with Sequoia's mission to redefine the client experience through data-driven insights and innovative technology. 

Key Responsibilities

AI Prototyping & Portfolio Partnering

  • High-Fidelity MVP Development: Partner directly with Product Managers across primary portfolios to rapidly develop functional, data-interactivity prototypes using modern AI environments (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, v0, Lovable).
  • Strategy & Discovery Validation: Guide product teams in using active, running prototypes to stress-test business requirements and validate features before handing product requirements over to engineering.
  • Sourcing & Data Integration: Collaborate with technical leads to map and verify data accessibility pipelines, ensuring prototyping sandboxes safely read and mirror enterprise benchmarking datasets 
  • Collaborate closely with technical, product, and data teams to move solutions from pilot to scaled deployment.

Enable Adoption & Change

  • Help organizations adopt new AI-enabled ways of working through training, change management, and stakeholder engagement
  • Educate business teams on how to effectively and responsibly leverage AI tools and solutions
  • Develop documentation, playbooks, and best practices to support scalable adoption
  • Partner with legal, risk, and compliance stakeholders to support responsible AI implementation

Qualifications

  • 4–7 years of experience in consulting, business transformation, product, operations, program delivery, or technology-related roles
  • Bachelor’s degree required
  • Experience supporting digital, data, automation, or AI-related initiatives in a consulting or enterprise environment
  • Prototyping Tool Mastery: Expert-level capability with modern AI-native development environments, component builders, and code generation platforms (Claude Code, Cursor, v0, Lovable).
  • AI & Data Foundations: Solid understanding generative AI concepts, including LLMs, AI agents, copilots, automation workflows, and enterprise AI adoption challenges and structural enterprise data concepts (SQL, data cleansing, and mapping variables).
  • Product Development Lifecycle: Exhaustive familiarity with standard Agile product discovery frameworks, user persona validation, and user experience design principles.
  • Cross-Functional Diplomacy: Exceptional interpersonal and relationship management capabilities, with a history of bridging gaps between corporate leadership and engineering teams.
  • Outcome-Centric Philosophy: A rigorous product-first mentality focused on translating technological capabilities into quantifiable, high-impact business results.
  • Innovation Curiosity: Persistent fascination with the evolving AI landscape and a proactive drive toward rapid experimentation and continuous skill acquisition.

Preferred Qualifications: 

  • Process Transformation exposure: Familiarity with Agile delivery frameworks or large-scale digital modernization initiatives is preferred.
  • Systemic Integration Expertise: Prior exposure to large-scale enterprise architectures, including CRM environments, data infrastructure, and complex operational pipelines, is highly valued.

Behavioral & Leadership Competencies

  • Technical Translation: Exceptional ability to translate non-technical business requirements and high-level product strategies into clear technical prompts and working application structures.
  • Change Management Capability: Proven skill in overcoming internal organizational resistance, coaching diverse teams, and building a culture of technological adoption.
  • Strategic Problem Solving: A focus on metric-driven outcomes, ensuring that AI tooling is treated as a practical vehicle for business efficiency rather than an open-ended experimentation sandbox.

Why Join Us

  • Engage in high-impact AI modernization efforts across diverse industrial landscapes.
  • Bridge functional gaps by partnering with strategy, product, data, and engineering stakeholders.
  • Define the standards for ethical, responsible, and effective enterprise AI implementation.
  • Acquire premier experience at the critical intersection of applied technology and business strategy.
