Be hands-on: prototype solutions, test AI and automation tools, and collaborate with developers on proof-of-concepts. Collaborate with architecture, platform, and data teams to align with firm standards and governance frameworks. Build and manage relationships with vendors and startups; evaluate solutions, conduct proofs-of-concept, and recommend paths forward. Present solution roadmaps, vendor recommendations, and outcomes to executive stakeholders. Partner with service-line leaders to identify, prioritize, and measure ROI for automation and AI opportunities. Oversee QA, testing, deployment, and documentation to ensure quality and consistency. Champion adoption through communication, training, and showcasing early wins across the firm. Stay current on emerging technologies (GenAI, RAG, workflow orchestration, ML, automation frameworks) and translate them into practical use cases. Qualifications Bachelor’s in Accounting, Computer Science, or related field; CPA preferred. 6–8 years experience in Assurance, Consulting, or Risk within a large accounting or professional services firm. Exposure to Consulting environments (Managed Services and/or traditional consulting engagements). CPA preferred. 3–4 years leading technology projects, ideally with some hands-on involvement in solution design or prototyping. Proven experience managing distributed and offshore teams (India). Strong understanding of automation and AI technologies (e.g., RPA, Python, GenAI frameworks, Databricks, LangChain, Javascript, or workflow tools). Experienced in leveraging AI based code tools to produce proof of concepts. Github repository displaying side projects and self-study courses on AI and software development. Skilled in agile delivery (Scrum Master or Product Owner certification a plus). Experience evaluating vendors and managing external partnerships. Excellent executive communication and presentation skills. The compensation range for this role is $141,350 to $267,950. Actual compensation is influenced by a variety of factors including but not limited to skills, experience, qualifications, and geographic location.
