Our client works with some of the most significant organisations in Australia and New Zealand, helping them
modernise through AI, cloud, and business applications. The AI practice designs and delivers intelligent solutions
that automate complex processes, augment decision-making, and create measurable business value. The AI
Automation Consultant sits at the client-facing edge of that practice: embedded inside client organisations,
identifying opportunities, and proving value through rapid prototyping.
Job Purpose
•Work embedded inside client organisations to identify, frame, and validate AI automation opportunities that
give business teams meaningful time back.
•Build working prototypes that demonstrate value before committing to full-scale delivery — moving fast,
validating early, and showing what's possible.
•Act as a circuit breaker on client engagements, challenging traditional delivery approaches and
demonstrating faster paths from problem to solution.
•Partner closely with the AI Solution Developer to progress proven prototypes through to production —
combining business context and domain knowledge with technical architecture and enterprise rigour.
•Coach client teams on working effectively with AI tools, building confidence and shifting how people think
about their own productivity.
•Ensure every solution has a clear path to real, measurable adoption — grounding prototypes in ROI,
sustainability, and practical change management.
•Maintain security, data lineage, and governance standards across all work, building solutions that
organisations can rely on operationally.
Key Accountabilities
Client Discovery & Problem Definition
•Relationship-first entry: build the trust inside client organisations that allows
honest conversations about how work actually flows, not how the org chart
says it should.
•Structured discovery: conduct working sessions with teams across finance,
operations, service delivery, and sales to surface automation opportunities
with genuine, measurable impact.
•Precise problem framing: define scope, success criteria, and boundaries
before prototyping begins. Distinguish between problems that warrant AI
automation and those that do not.
•Commercial filter: apply judgement to prioritise the opportunities with the
strongest case for adoption and return, not just the ones that are technically
interesting.
Prototyping & Validation
•Working prototype as the output: build end-to-end solutions that
stakeholders can see, touch, and respond to. Not slide decks, not
requirements documents.
•Speed to signal: validate early and move fast. The goal is to show what is
possible before anyone commits to a full build.
•Measurable success criteria: define ROI, adoption potential, and operational
sustainability for every prototype before it is presented.
•Production-ready handover: document prototypes in a way that enables the
AI Solution Developer to assess, extend, and progress them to production.
Delivery Partnership
•Shared accountability model: work in ongoing partnership with the AI
Solution Developer. Bring business context, client relationships, and
validated prototypes; they bring architecture, security, and enterprise rigour.
•Collaboration, not handoff: the transition from prototype to production is a
joint effort. Neither role carries the outcome alone.
•Early escalation: flag risks, blockers, and scope changes to the AI Solutions
Delivery Lead before they become client-facing problems.
•Practice contribution: build repeatable frameworks and shareable artefacts
that improve how the team delivers across engagements.
Client Enablement & Change
•Confidence over compliance: coach client teams on AI tools in a way that
builds genuine capability, not surface-level familiarity.
•Workflow rethinking: help individuals identify where digital assistants can
absorb repetitive work and build the habits to make that shift stick.
•Adoption as a delivery outcome: a solution that nobody uses is not a success.
Build the human side of change alongside the technical side.
•Sustained presence: represent Fusion5 as a credible, trusted partner in client
environments between formal engagements.
Governance & Commercial Discipline
•Security and governance by design: respect data lineage, access controls,
and compliance requirements across all work. Build things organisations can
rely on operationally.
•Commercial grounding from day one: every solution needs to justify the
investment in adoption and ongoing maintenance before build begins.
•Delivery support: contribute to scope management, effort estimation, and
status reporting on active engagements as directed by the AI Solutions
Delivery Lead.
•Practice investment: share learnings across the team, build reusable assets,
and contribute to raising the AI practice's collective capability.
Skills & Experience Required
Essential
•Background in a functional or consulting role — business analysis, process improvement, solution design,
project delivery, or similar. A genuine understanding of how organisations operate at a working level, not just
a structural one.
•Some hands-on experience building with modern tools — Power Automate, AI-assisted development, or
connecting systems in ways that weren't straightforward until recently. The specific tool matters less than the
evidence of curiosity and initiative.
•Strong ability to translate between business language and technical language — to sit with both audiences
and make everyone feel understood.
•Commercial instinct: a genuine interest in whether a solution creates value, not just whether it functions.
•Comfort with ambiguity and confidence in client-facing environments. The ability to build trust quickly and
navigate organisations that aren't always tidy.
•A bias toward action — trying things, learning fast, and adjusting without waiting for perfect conditions.
Highly Valued
•Hands-on experience with AI automation tools — Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Power Platform, Zapier, or
equivalent.
•Working understanding of cloud platforms, APIs, and how data flows through enterprise organisations.
•Familiarity with ERP, CRM, or professional services environments.
•Experience facilitating workshops, running discovery sessions, or leading process improvement
engagements.
•Exposure to concepts like vector databases, embeddings, or retrieval-augmented generation — even without
hands-on experience.
Key Competencies
Competency
Discovery Instinct
Asks the right questions before proposing anything.
Comfortable sitting in ambiguity long enough to
understand the real problem.
Builder Mindset
Defaults to showing rather than telling. A working
prototype is always preferable to a well-written
proposal.
Commercial Grounding
Keeps ROI, adoption, and sustainability in view from
the first conversation. A solution that isn't used isn't
a solution.
Client Trust
Earns confidence quickly inside unfamiliar
organisations. Communicates with clarity, honesty,
and consistency.
Collaborative Delivery
Works the partnership with the AI Solution
Developer as a genuine collaboration — not a relay
race. Shared accountability for outcomes.
Adaptive Learning
Moves fast in a space that's changing fast. Picks up
new tools and frameworks without needing them to
be perfect first.
