AI Strategist
AI Strategist About Casper Studios We're an AI services firm that helps companies figure out where and how to use AI. We've 3x'd our revenue in the last few months, and the reason comes down to how we work with clients. Before we build anything, we listen, we understand, and we help them figure out the highest-leverage way to get started on their AI journey.
About the Role
We're hiring an AI Strategist to be the first person in with our clients. You'll partner with executives and their teams to understand how the business actually runs today, identify where AI can make the biggest difference, prioritize what matters most, and work with our engineers to design solutions that actually get built. This is the work that sets up everything else. Done well, it turns into long-term partnerships where we deliver real outcomes alongside our clients' teams. Done poorly, nothing that comes after matters. You'll own that. The best background for this is someone who's spent 4–7 years at a top strategy firm (McKinsey, Bain, BCG, PwC, Deloitte, or similar) and has since gone deep on AI. We're also open to strong candidates from product, strategy, or operations roles at AI-forward companies. What matters most is that you think about problems through the lens of what AI makes newly possible — and that you're hungry to build, not just execute a playbook.
