Join us and change the world.

We are seeking a strategic, hands-on, and client-facing Generative AI Consultant to support our growing portfolio of AI-driven solutions.

You will lead cross-functional teams, manage stakeholders, and ensure the successful delivery of managed AI projects that drive real business value.

Exceptional Leadership:
As an Andelan, you’ll serve as a role model for the rest of the company; you do not need to manage people to be a leader at Andela! Think about the feedback your peers typically give you – if it usually sounds like the below, we want to hear from you. 
Low ego, low drama: You share credit, take blame. You like being wrong because it means someone else had an even better idea. 
One team mentality: You break silos across teams. You put the company and mission first above your team alone. 
Great listener, hungry for feedback: You’re always seeking to improve – our product, our business, yourself. You solicit diverse opinions and deeply listen. 
Owner, not renter: You see a problem, you fix it or find someone who will. The buck stops with you.
Team-player: You roll up your sleeves and get scrappy. You do this by proactively collaborating with your team while actively engaging in important details that matter. 
Business problem solver: You’re not just a functional expert; you consistently get praise for approaching your function through the lens of solving business problems.
