Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # AI & Data Consulting Manager - **Company:** Artefact - **Location:** New York, United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** $140,000.0 - $160,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Data Intelligence, Python (Programming Language), SQL Databases, Data Layers, AI Platforms - **Published:** August 23, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.dice.com/job-detail/6a9d0829-7ae3-4d85-b1d8-d463c46b163c ## About the Role * 5-7 years of full-time, client-facing work experience in consulting, technology, media, or a related field. * Proven experience managing projects and small teams autonomously in a client environment. * Demonstrated AI literacy as a builder: daily use of AI tools for real work, and hands-on experience prototyping with agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, or similar). * Comfort in the terminal and with modern AI workflows, with the judgment to verify what AI produces. * Working knowledge of at least one AI platform ecosystem - Google (Gemini), Anthropic (Claude), or OpenAI - and of core GenAI concepts (RAG, agents, context engineering). * Excellent communication skills: C-level-ready writing and presence, structured storytelling, and precise feedback. * An entrepreneurial mindset and a conviction that decisions should be made with facts and data. * Undergraduate degree, preferably in business, technology, or another field related to our work. Preferred Experience * Strategy consulting and/or digital marketing background. * SQL or Python skills for hands-on analysis. * Experience contributing to proposals and business development. * Intercultural experience across global teams. ## Description Artefact is looking for an AI & Data Consulting Manager: someone who runs projects autonomously, develops the people on them, grows the client relationship - and builds with AI along the way. Managers at Artefact are AI-literate builders. You use AI tools every day to produce your own work faster and better, and when a recommendation needs proof, you can prototype it: open Claude Code or Gemini CLI and turn an idea into something the client can click on. We need someone who is not afraid of the terminal - someone who, with the help and guidance of AI, will build the thing rather than just describe it. What You'll Do * Manage projects end to end: structure sub-streams, distribute work fairly, set team OKRs, and give sponsors clear visibility. * Build robust plans that anticipate deadlines, delays, and risks - and communicate them before they become surprises. * Structure mission deliverables: write C-level executive summaries autonomously and build presentation storylines with partner support. * Hold Artefact's quality bar on everything that leaves the team. * Your recommendations are grounded in hands-on understanding of the AI stack. * Define client needs through interviews with client teams and technology partners, and translate them into strategic data and AI recommendations. * Prototype with AI tools - agentic coding tools like Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or Codex - to test feasibility and make ideas tangible in workshops and steering committees. * Understand context engineering well enough to shape how clients connect AI to their data, documents, and systems (RAG, semantic layers, MCP). * Maintain specialization in at least one AI platform ecosystem - Google (Gemini), Anthropic (Claude), or OpenAI - and keep it current. * Make the people under your influence progress. * Give precise, actionable feedback on analyses, decks, and client behavior. * Set SMART objectives, run proper evaluations, and keep the team engaged. * Coach consultants on AI-native ways of working: which tools, when, and how to verify what they produce. * Mentor juniors and seniors toward autonomy. * You will maximize client satisfaction and help expand the relationship. * Build the client development strategy with the partner; detect needs and shape farming proposals. * Maximize client NPS through delivery quality and relationship care. * Pitch Artefact: contribute to new business proposals and content development (research, articles, business cases). ## Related Videos - [Fault Tolerance and Consistency at Scale: Harnessing the Power of Distributed SQL Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1146-fault-tolerance-and-consistency-at-scale-harnessing-the-power-of-distributed-sql-databases) - [AI PowerPlay: Building High-Impact Teams & Transformative Solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1005-ai-powerplay-building-high-impact-teams-transformative-solutions) - [Why Your AI Agent Keeps Hallucinating Your Data: Building Deterministic Context Layers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2055-why-your-ai-agent-keeps-hallucinating-your-data-building-deterministic-context-layers) - [This App Reached 10,000 Users in One Week.
