Role Overview

Keystone Recruitment is partnering with a leading AI research lab to find experienced management consulting professionals for a project-based role. As a Management Consulting AI Project Lead, you will translate real-world consulting workflows into structured tasks, datasets, and evaluation criteria, significantly enhancing the reasoning and problem-solving capabilities of advanced AI systems. This opportunity is ideal for independent professionals who excel at structured thinking and asynchronous collaboration in a deliverables-driven environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Break down end-to-end consulting workflows (problem structuring → analysis → synthesis) into clear task specifications and evaluation rubrics.
• Review, edit, and benchmark AI-generated outputs such as market analyses, strategic recommendations, operating models, and executive summaries.
• Create high-quality reference examples (e.g., issue trees, analytical models, slide outlines) that reflect professional consulting standards.
• Identify logical gaps, unsupported assumptions, and weak reasoning in AI outputs; document failure patterns and improvement guidance.
• Collaborate asynchronously with researchers and fellow contributors using structured documentation and written feedback.

Ideal Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience at a top-tier management consulting firm or reputable boutique consultancy.
• Strong understanding of hypothesis-driven problem solving and executive-level synthesis.
• Advanced skills in PowerPoint and Excel.
• Experience with market sizing, financial/operating analysis, and qualitative research.
• Excellent written communication and structured thinking skills.
• Ability to manage time effectively and meet deadlines in a remote setting.

Role Details

• Expected commitment: 10+ hours per week.
• Deliverables-driven structure with defined quality standards.
• Fully remote and flexible scheduling.
• Ongoing support available for best practices and clarifications.

Submit a brief resume or LinkedIn profile outlining your consulting background and areas of expertise. Complete a short skills questionnaire. A time-boxed exercise may be used to assess fit. Selected candidates will be contacted with next steps and additional project details. All qualified applicants will be considered without regard to legally protected characteristics.
