AI & Business Automation Consultant

AI & Business Automation Consultant Belfast Hybrid

I am looking to hire an AI & Business process consultant to take ownership of automation and AI opportunities across the business.

This is a hands-on role. They're not looking for someone who simply understands AI in theory - they want someone who can look at a business process, identify what can be improved, and actually build and implement the solution.

What will you be doing?

• Map business processes and identify automation opportunities.
• Assess whether processes should be automated and determine the best approach.
• Build automation solutions or identify the right technology to implement.
• Work across sales, finance and wider operations.
• Automate repetitive tasks to give teams more time back for revenue-generating activity.
• Develop AI-powered solutions and workflows.
• Potentially centralise and manage GPT/AI lead-generation tools.
• Help develop a company-wide "mission control" dashboard providing operational data, prompts and insights.
• Train internal team members to build and manage automation solutions.

What are we looking for?

• Hands-on experience with AI and automation.
• Someone who can build solutions, not just theorise.
• Experience identifying business problems and translating them into technical solutions.
• Strong workflow analysis and process improvement skills.
• Comfortable working independently and taking ownership.
• Technology agnostic - able to choose the right tool for the problem.
• Strong communication skills and confidence working with non-technical teams.
• Curious, commercially minded and focused on finding better ways of working.

Technologies

Experience with Python, UiPath or other automation platforms would also be relevant.

You don't need to have used every technology listed - the key is being able to understand the problem and work out the best way to solve it.

The Opportunity

This could suit someone early in their career who has a strong academic background in AI, potentially a Master's in AI / Machine Learning, alongside personal projects or practical experience building AI and automation solutions.

You don't necessarily need years of commercial experience. What's important is curiosity, initiative and the ability to build.

If you're someone who naturally looks at a process and thinks "there must be a better way of doing this", enjoys experimenting with new technology and has built AI/automation projects in your own time, this could be a great opportunity to take those skills into a real business environment.

The key is being able to understand a problem, explore the options, build a solution and continuously improve it - while communicating effectively with the people using it.
