Join the network

Senior advisory work, on your terms.

AI for Growth is a network, not a firm with staff. Our client work is led by experienced advisors who work with us engagement by engagement. We give them what a good advisor normally has to build alone: the knowledge, the methods, the quality standard and the production support.

What that means for you:

You choose which engagements you take.

You are paid a share of the revenue from each one.

The methods, the quality standard and the accumulated intelligence come with the work.

The system supplies the knowledge. You supply the judgement.

Who we look for

Senior people who still enjoy doing the work.

Across the network, we look for people who have:

What we look for
20+ years of professional experienceYou have operated at senior level and have dealt directly with business and technology leaders.
Experience through earlier technology wavesAI should not be the first major technology transition you have helped organisations navigate.
Strong client judgementYou are comfortable working directly with senior stakeholders, framing ambiguous problems and taking a position.
AI proficiencyThe level expected depends on the role — see the three roles below. This is about applied judgement, not coding.
Depth somewhereA geography, industry, business function, technology area or relationship network where you bring something distinctive.
An independent mindsetYou are comfortable saying go, fix first, or no-go when the evidence demands it.
A flexible way of workingThe network is engagement-led, not salary- or bench-led. You join work when there is a fit, and you decide which engagements you take.

Three roles

Choose where your experience creates the most value.

Advisory Partner

Leads client engagements.

You take the question, work directly with the client, reach the position and stand behind the answer.

Typically suited to people with 20+ years of experience, strong executive presence and depth across one or more areas of business and technology.

AI proficiency: Level 2 or Level 3

Relationship Partner

Opens and develops senior client relationships in a geography, sector or market.

You know the leadership community well enough to start serious conversations and stay with the opportunity until there is a real engagement to hand over.

Again, this is a senior role — usually someone with 20+ years at leadership level and a strong network.

AI proficiency: Level 1

Specialised Consultant

Brings deep expertise when an engagement needs something the Advisory Partner does not have.

That might be:

an industry · a business function · a technology · an architecture discipline · regulation · security · data · finance · operations

You join when the work needs your depth.

AI proficiency: Level 4 or Level 5 where the depth is technical. Where the depth is an industry, a business function or a regulatory area, the depth matters more than the level.

AI proficiency

Five levels.

These are capability levels, not seniority levels. The level expected for each role is shown above.

Level 1AI Literate
Level 2Business AI Practitioner
Level 3Architecture-Literate AI Advisor
Level 4Prototype-Capable AI Engineer
Level 5Production AI Engineering

Before client work

Everyone goes through the immersion.

Meeting the criteria gets you a conversation. Before anyone takes client work, they go through the AI for Growth immersion: a working programme that covers the technology as it stands, how we approach transformation, how we take a workflow apart and redesign it, the use cases we have seen hold up, and the advisory intelligence system — what is in it, how to use it on an engagement, and how to add to it.

The immersion runs 25 to 40 hours and is paid for by the advisor. It is how a good advisor becomes an AI for Growth advisor, and it is what lets a client in one market get the same quality of answer as a client in another.

How you are paid

Per engagement, and explained before you commit.

There is no salary and no retainer. You are paid a share of the revenue from each engagement you work on, on terms agreed before the work starts. How that works for each role is explained in conversation, before you decide anything.

The immersion is the only thing you pay for. There is no fee to be in the network.

How it works

Express interest now. We come to you when the work does.

Tell us about yourself. We build the network from demand: as work opens up in a market, an industry or a specialism, we go back to the people who fit, talk, and evaluate. If it is a match on both sides, the immersion follows, and then the work.

We do not promise work, and we do not carry a bench. That is the point of the model, and it is why the people in it are the ones who want it to work this way.

Right now we are particularly looking for Relationship Partners in India, the UAE and the UK — people who can open senior conversations and bring engagements in. If that is you, say so when you write.

Express interest.

Tell us who you are, where your depth is, and which market you work in.
