AI Transformation Lead at BOI (Board of Innovation) in New York, NY

About BOI

BOI is an AI Transformation Studio that helps ambitious companies redesign their growth engines for the autonomous age. 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.

AI is rapidly reshaping how companies grow- how they innovate, acquire customers, personalize experiences, and scale commercial performance. Yet most organizations struggle to move beyond pilots and point solutions toward AI-enabled growth systems that actually work at enterprise scale.

About The Role

As an AI Transformation Lead, you will own the quality and delivery of complex AI transformation engagements. Working closely with our Directors and Managing Director of AI Transformation, you'll be a senior delivery leader across both execution and proposal development, making sure what we deliver is excellent and what reaches clients reflects real strategic thinking.

You'll help lead enterprise AI transformation engagements, structuring transformation opportunities, building business cases and roadmaps, designing operating models, developing organizational capability, and driving change.

You'll work closely with senior client stakeholders, challenging assumptions, bringing structure to ambiguity, and helping clients make confident decisions. You'll also bring credibility through practice, building your own AI workflows, tools, and automations. We believe the best people to lead AI transformation are those who live it themselves.

You'll have increasing responsibility for client relationships, proposal development, and commercial growth, with coaching and support from Directors.

What You Will Do

Lead AI Transformation Engagements

• Own the day-to-day delivery of complex AI transformation engagements, ensuring high-quality outcomes across multiple workstreams.
• Structure workstreams, drive execution, and maintain a high bar for delivery across your engagements.
• Navigate ambiguity with confidence, proactively solving problems and keeping engagements moving.
• Build trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders by leading workshops, managing stakeholder dynamics, and supporting transformation agendas alongside Directors.

Drive Proposals & Commercial Growth

• Support proposal development and engagement scoping alongside Directors, taking on increasing ownership as you grow.
• Identify opportunities to expand the impact of your engagements and bring them forward to the broader account team.
• Turn successful engagements into case studies, thought leadership, and reusable IP.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in consulting, agency, or custom solution environments serving enterprise clients.
• Demonstrated hands-on use of modern AI tools in your own work. You've built workflows, automations, copilots, agents, or other practical AI solutions- not just advised clients on them.
• Experience leading significant workstreams or owning delivery for strategy or transformation engagements.
• Experience delivering AI or digital transformation initiatives in enterprise environments, with a strong understanding of how AI creates business value.
• Experience contributing to proposal development, engagement scoping, or growing existing client accounts.
• Strong ability to translate between business ambition and technical feasibility
• Experience working in cross-functional teams delivering complex client work
• Comfort operating in complex stakeholder environments with senior leaders

What We Screen For

We are deliberately not-for-everyone. We look for a specific combination of qualities:

• Low ego- You're confident, but grounded. You own mistakes, invite critique, share credit, and make the team better.
• High aptitude- You learn fast. You think clearly. You simplify complexity. You don't just execute- you understand. You've worked on complex strategy or transformation engagements and know the difference between what looks good in a deck and what actually works in practice.
• High ownership- You don't wait to be told. You move things forward, take responsibility beyond your role, and stay resourceful in ambiguity.
• A drive for great results- You care about outcomes, not activity. You follow through. You find a way.
• Commercially sharp- You've contributed to growing client relationships by shaping the right problems, supporting compelling proposals, and recognizing opportunities to create additional value.
• A genuine passion for AI- Not just strategically - you use it daily. You've built your own workflows, tools, or automations. You don't lead AI transformation from the sidelines.
