POSITION OVERVIEW

The AI Business Advisor serves as a trusted strategic advisor to Canadian entrepreneurs seeking to leverage artificial intelligence to improve performance, productivity, and long‑term competitiveness. Operating at the intersection of business strategy, operations, and emerging technology, this role helps clients move from AI curiosity to practical, value‑driven adoption.

The Advisor works with SMEs across industries to assess AI readiness, identify high‑impact use cases, define responsible AI strategies, and oversee the delivery of AI‑enabled advisory mandates. The role emphasizes business outcomes, governance, and adoption rather than technical model development, ensuring AI initiatives are aligned with client strategy, data maturity, and operational realities.

CHALLENGES TO BE MET

Client Advisory & Engagement Leadership

Act as a senior advisor to entrepreneurs and management teams on AI strategy, readiness, and adoption, translating complex AI concepts into clear business decisions and priorities.
Lead diagnostic engagements assessing data maturity, operational processes, and organizational readiness for AI adoption.
Identify, prioritize, and validate AI use cases that deliver measurable business value (e.g., productivity, revenue growth, cost optimization, customer experience).
Provide executive‑level guidance on AI risk, ethics, governance, and responsible use in alignment with organizational values and regulatory expectations.

Mandate Delivery & Oversight

Lead and oversee the delivery of standard and customized AI advisory mandates, ensuring quality, impact, and alignment with advisory methodologies.
Coordinate with internal specialists, delivery consultants, and external partners as required to execute AI‑enabled solutions.
Ensure strong client adoption through change management, capability transfer, and executive alignment.
Maintain accountability for mandate outcomes, timelines, scope, and client satisfaction.

AI Strategy, Governance & Thought Leadership

Support the development and evolution of AI advisory offerings, frameworks, and tools, incorporating best practices in responsible and ethical AI use.
Contribute to internal thought leadership, training materials, and workshops to build AI literacy among advisors and clients.
Represent the AI advisory practice in business development activities, client presentations, and selected external events.
Stay current on AI trends, platforms, and the Canadian AI ecosystem to inform client advice and solution design.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Qualifications & Experience

Required

8+ years of experience in management consulting, technology advisory, digital transformation, or related strategic advisory roles.
Proven experience advising senior executives on business strategy, operations, or technology‑enabled transformation.
Demonstrated experience applying artificial intelligence in a business context (strategy, use‑case design, adoption, or governance).
Strong understanding of AI concepts (e.g., machine learning, NLP, generative AI) at a conceptual and applied business level (not hands‑on model development).
Excellent communication and executive presence, with the ability to influence and guide decision‑makers.
Proven ability to lead complex advisory mandates and manage multiple stakeholders.
Experience working with SMEs across diverse industries.
Bilingualism in French and English, spoken and written, in a professional context

Preferred

Exposure to data strategy, analytics, automation, or enterprise systems.
Familiarity with AI governance, ethics, and risk management frameworks.

Key Competencies

Strategic thinking and business acumen
AI and emerging technology fluency
Client advisory and executive facilitation
Change management and adoption leadership
Project and mandate delivery excellence
Collaboration and influence across internal and external stakeholders

Proudly one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers and one of Canada’s Best Diversity Employers, we are committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, inclusive and accessible environment where all employees can thrive and feel empowered to bring their whole selves to work. If you require an accommodation to complete your application, please do not hesitate to contact us at accessibility@bdc.ca.

While we appreciate all applications, we advise that only the candidates selected to participate in the recruitment process will be contacted.
