Context
AI Futures is hiring an AI Consultant (Cologne, up to EUR 120k). The role requires CS/Engineering background and Python/ML — not a direct fit for a full-time application. But: AI consulting is inherently fractional-friendly, and the design side of AI implementation is underserved in most consulting firms.
Action Points
- Contact VP Zac Harvey-Wright via LinkedIn
- Pitch: "I am not a typical AI consultant — I am a design leader who implements AI in product teams. If your clients need the design side of AI adoption (UX for AI features, AI-augmented design workflows, user research for AI products), I can help as a fractional specialist."
- Reference service page
- Offer: project-based collaboration or referral partnership
Why me
- AI in practice: Weekly AI enablement sessions at ABS Safety, AI-augmented prototyping, daily AI workflow integration
- Product design leadership: 18+ years, 7 designers led, design systems built and scaled
- Workshop facilitation: Innovation camps, design sprints, stakeholder workshops across industries
