Partner-Level AI Consulting Role - Build Book of Business in Columbus
Career & Market Insight
This is a Partner-level enterprise AI consulting role — one of the most senior individual contributor/leader positions in the consulting world. At 15+ years experience required, with a book-of-business expectation, this is designed for seasoned principals or MDs looking to join a high-growth boutique with marquee clients.
Compensation signals: No salary is listed, but Partner-level roles at boutique AI consultancies typically range $250K–$450K+ total compensation (base + performance bonus). The "meaningful performance-linked component" suggests a significant variable portion, which could dramatically raise total earnings based on revenue generated.
Skills developed:
- Frontier enterprise AI architecture and deployment (high demand, scarce supply)
- Enterprise sales and C-suite relationship management
- Thought leadership and market positioning in AI transformation
- People leadership: coaching Directors and consultants
Green flags: Vendor-independent positioning means genuine breadth of technical exposure; rapid deployment cycles (weeks to production) mean visible, measurable impact; working with Walmart/Coca-Cola/Mastercard adds strong brand credibility to your CV.
Red flags to watch: The "not a comfortable place to hide" framing signals high-pressure culture. The overlap of sales, delivery, thought leadership, and team development is a wide mandate — verify how these responsibilities are supported before accepting.
Overall, this is a strong accelerator role for a senior AI consultant ready to build equity in a boutique firm's US growth story.
About BOI
BOI is the AI deployment partner that Walmart, Coca-Cola, and Mastercard call when AI needs to drive growth, not just savings. We rebuild how work gets done, starting from the outcomes each team exists to deliver: agents do the work, people own the judgment, and the capacity it frees goes to growth.
We bring together the unusually strong in frontier enterprise AI, then give them the ownership to make it happen. If you're looking for a comfortable place to hide, we're not it. If you want to build the future of enterprise AI with people who will make you better: welcome home.
What You Will Do
Build Your Book of Business
- Own a portfolio of client accounts and the revenue, margin, and pipeline behind them, with a plan you set and report on openly.
- Build relationships with C-suite and function leaders at large enterprises and mid-caps with a growth mandate.
- Originate, shape, and close multi-workstream programs, from first conversation to signed contract.
- Grow accounts outcome by outcome, based on value delivered rather than hours sold.
- Build a point of view in the industries or functions you know best, so buyers there know to call you.
Set the Bar for Delivery
- Be accountable for the quality of every engagement you lead, from problem framing through build, deployment, and measured value.
- Start from outcomes: define what a team exists to deliver, map the work behind it, and design the roles where agents do the work and people own the judgment.
- Shape solution architecture across models, clouds, and platforms, and make build, buy, or configure calls you can defend to a client CTO. BOI is independent of every vendor, so the answer is whatever is best for the client.
- Step into the hardest moments on your engagements yourself.
Shape the Firm
- Contribute to how BOI grows in the US as part of the leadership team, bringing what you hear from clients back into what we sell.
- Turn your client work into offers, case studies, and points of view that buyers cite back to us.
- Work with our growth team and partner ecosystem (labs, cloud providers, and firms that send us work) to build demand in your areas.
- Be a visible voice for BOI through speaking, roundtables, and thought leadership.
Develop the Team
- Lead and coach Directors and consultants across your engagements, and help hire the people the US team needs.
- Champion AI-first ways of working through your own daily practice. Build your own tools and workflows, and share the ones that work.
- Set high standards, give direct feedback, and give credit generously.
What We Look For
We are deliberately not for everyone. We look for a specific combination of qualities:
- 15+ years of experience in consulting, agency, or custom solution environments serving enterprise clients, including several years at Partner, MD, or Principal level.
- You've built a book of business — originating and closing large, multi-workstream programs with senior buyers, and growing accounts over multiple years.
- You've led AI or technology programs that reached production and created measurable value, and you know the distance between a demo and a deployed system.
- You use AI every day and have built your own workflows, tools, or automations. You can go deep with a client CTO and to-the-point with a CEO.
- You take ownership far beyond your role.
- You're confident but grounded: you own mistakes, invite critique, share credit, and make the team better.
What We Offer
- Build your own client portfolio with the backing of a firm that already works with some of the world's leading brands.
- First-of-its-kind work: rebuilding how enterprises work from the outcomes down.
- What your teams design goes live in client systems within weeks, and you see the value it creates.
- Vendor-independent: you work across every model and cloud, building with whatever is best.
- A creative, ambitious, supportive, and never boring team.
