Principal Consultant, Artificial Intelligence
About the position
At Pioneer Management Consulting, we believe people are at the heart of every successful transformation. We started Pioneer in 2009 with a simple idea: create jobs people love, serve companies we admire, and fund start-ups that are driving innovative good in the world. Built on our three core values; Humble, Hungry, Connected, we deliver world-class consulting with small-town heart and hustle. We are an elite team of problem solvers who unabashedly love business.
We partner with clients to solve critical business challenges while fostering environments where individuals and teams can thrive. Team Pioneer brings curiosity, empathy, and expertise to every interaction, ensuring that change is not only implemented but embraced. When you join Pioneer, you become part of a collaborative, supportive community dedicated to making a real difference. We’re a team of moms, dads, coaches, explorers, and creators who do meaningful work together.
As a Principal, Artificial Intelligence, you will be a part of a growing team working in a fast-paced environment to help clients solve complex issues and deliver exceptional results in novel ways. You are a self-driven management consultant who excels at guiding organizations to accomplish their strategic objectives through technology & execution excellence. We're looking for an AI Specialist who is passionate about building cutting edge AI solutions — especially using Microsoft Copilot Studio and other leading web-based AI development platforms. You are front and center with our clients and their executive teams, exploring new solutions, developing market-defining roadmaps and rolling up your sleeves to execute the vision.
If you love working at the intersection of business problems and technical innovation, and you're excited to create AI applications that truly move the needle for clients — we want to meet you.

• Collaborate and Co-Create: Work closely with business strategists, developers, and client stakeholders to design solutions that are intuitive, scalable, and solve real business challenges.
• Prototype Rapidly: Build proofs-of-concept and minimum viable products (MVPs) to quickly validate ideas and assumptions, leveraging agile development approaches.
• Integrate: Connect AI applications to enterprise data sources, CRM systems, operational platforms, and more — ensuring solutions are robust, secure, and sustainable.
• Stay Current: Keep ahead of evolving AI technologies, Copilot extensions, LLM advancements, and best practices for secure, responsible AI deployment.
Requirements

• Familiarity with REST APIs, GraphQL, and integration architectures.
• Consulting Mindset: Ability to translate business needs into technical solutions, with an emphasis on clear communication, stakeholder engagement, and problem-solving.
• Builder's Spirit: You enjoy creating — not just maintaining — and you thrive in fast-paced environments where curiosity, experimentation, and collaboration are key.
• Ethical AI Awareness: A working knowledge of responsible AI practices, bias mitigation, security standards, and data privacy requirements.
Nice-to-haves
• Familiarity with Copilot extensions for Dynamics 365, Teams, or SharePoint.
