Lead AI/ML and MLOps Consultant

A Lead AI/ML & MLOps Engineer to join our Canadian team. This is a senior, dual-purpose role:

1. Delivery leadership: leading the technical execution of AI and ML engagements for our clients, from data foundations through model deployment and operation.

2. Pre-sales and pipeline partnership: working alongside our sales organisation to shape, scope, and win new opportunities, with a specific focus on supporting deals that move through our partners motion.
   

You will be the senior technical voice in the room when we design AI/ML engagements: validating architectures, choosing tooling, scoping work, and standing behind the engineers who build it. You will also be a credible counterpart to client CTOs, data leaders, and partner technical sellers.
