Job description

Position: Decision Fabric Consultant
Location: Atlanta GA (Hybrid 3 days onsite)

Job Description-:

This isn't traditional consulting.

It isn't software engineering.

And it certainly isn't sales.

This role is designed for exceptional technology professionals who want to accelerate into consulting, business leadership and executive advisory much earlier than a traditional career path.

Many professionals spend years writing software before pursuing an MBA or transitioning into consulting.

This role is designed to fast-track that journey.

You'll learn how Fortune 500 executives make technology decisions, how AI is transforming industries, how billion-dollar technology programs are shaped, and how world-class engineering creates competitive advantage.

You'll work alongside senior consultants, architects, AI specialists, engineers and executive leaders while developing into a trusted advisor for global enterprises.

If you're an engineer who enjoys solving business problems as much as technical ones, this role was built for you.

What You'll Do

  • Learn how Fortune 500 companies make technology investment decisions.
  • Research industries, markets, competitors and emerging AI trends.
  • Build executive briefings, strategy documents and client presentations.
  • Participate in executive workshops and discovery sessions.
  • Translate business challenges into technology-led opportunities.
  • Work alongside engineering teams to understand how enterprise platforms are designed and delivered.
  • Develop perspectives on AI, Digital Transformation, Product Engineering, Cloud, Data and Platform Engineering.
  • Support consulting engagements from strategy through execution.
  • Help prepare business cases, transformation roadmaps and executive recommendations.
  • Build trusted long-term relationships with enterprise clients.
  • Learn how exceptional consulting organizations create growth by solving business problems not by selling products.

Explore Industries. Explore Businesses. Explore the World.

One of the most exciting aspects of this role is the opportunity to experience how different industries operate.

Depending on your business unit, client portfolio and project assignments, you'll work with some of the world's largest organizations across:

  • Airlines & Travel
  • Banking & Financial Services
  • Healthcare & Life Sciences
  • Retail & Consumer
  • Telecommunications
  • Manufacturing
  • Gaming & Hospitality
  • Technology
  • Energy & Utilities

As your career grows, you'll work directly with CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, Chief Product Officers and other senior executives responsible for transforming some of the world's most respected organizations.

Many of our client engagements span North America and other global markets. Depending on business needs and project assignments, you'll have opportunities to travel across the U.S., Canada and internationally, working alongside clients and colleagues from different cultures and industries.

If you enjoy exploring new cities, learning how different businesses operate and collaborating with world-class leaders, you'll find this career exceptionally rewarding.

Location & Flexibility

Work Model: Hybrid

We believe the best ideas come from a healthy balance of in-person collaboration and focused individual work.

This is a hybrid role not a traditional five-day office job.

You'll collaborate in person with teammates when it adds value while also having the flexibility to work remotely based on client commitments, project needs and team schedules.

We're outcomes-driven, not attendance-driven.

Some weeks you may spend more time with clients or teammates in person. Other weeks, you may work primarily from home.

Our expectation is simple:

  • Deliver exceptional work.
  • Build trusted relationships.
  • Learn continuously.
  • Support your team.
  • Own outcomes.

Depending on project assignments, you'll also have opportunities to work from client locations, travel across North America and collaborate with colleagues across our global offices. 

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for early-career professionals who have already developed the maturity, confidence and communication skills to engage with senior business and technology leaders.

The strongest candidates will typically have 2–6 years of professional experience, having built a solid technical foundation while demonstrating the curiosity and ambition to transition into technology consulting and business leadership.

Many successful hires for this role are often in a career stage that aligns with professionals in their mid-to-late twenties and early thirties. However, we hire for capability, maturity, curiosity and potential not age.

If you're earlier in your career but genuinely believe you're ready to operate at this level, we'd still love to hear from you. Exceptional talent has no fixed timeline, and we're always excited to meet individuals who can demonstrate the maturity, communication skills, business curiosity and technical depth this role demands.

You may be an excellent fit if you:

  • Have approximately 2–6 years of professional experience in Software Engineering, AI, Product Engineering, Cloud, Data, Consulting or another technology-focused discipline.
  • Hold a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science, Information Systems, Industrial Engineering or another technical discipline.
  • Enjoy solving business problems just as much as technical problems.
  • Are fascinated by AI and how technology transforms industries.
  • Have excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Have built software, AI projects, hackathons, startups, research projects or meaningful side projects.
  • Want to work directly with CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, CDOs and other senior business leaders early in your career.
  • Are intellectually curious, energetic, humble and comfortable with ambiguity.
  • Aspire to build a long-term career in AI-native technology consulting and enterprise transformation.
