Fractional AI Advisor

Fractional AI Advisor (contract, senior)

About Quantrim

Quantrim is an Australian AI transformation partner. Our fractional AI consulting service puts senior AI leadership into Australian businesses for a few days a month: roadmap ownership, build-versus-buy decisions, governance and board reporting. Demand for it is growing faster than the founders’ calendar. That is where you come in.

The role

You will carry two to four client engagements as their embedded AI leader. Not a report-writer: an accountable executive who owns the roadmap month over month, makes calls that hold up, and answers to the client’s board. You work to Quantrim’s frameworks and quality bar, with our audit findings and implementation team behind you.

What you’ll do

• Own each client’s AI roadmap: use cases ranked by return, reviewed monthly.
• Run build-versus-buy and vendor decisions, and defend them plainly.
• Set governance: data permissions, review points, audit trails, AI policy.
• Upskill client teams so the capability stays when you scale down.
• Oversee deployments delivered by our implementation team.
• Report to boards in numbers: what shipped, what it returned, what is next.

What we’re looking for

• 10+ years in senior technology, transformation or executive roles.
• Real judgement about modern AI: you have shipped or governed it, not just read about it.
• Comfort in the boardroom of a 10 to 500 person Australian business.
• The spine to say “do not build this” when that is the right answer.
• Bonus: industry depth in professional services, retail, manufacturing or distribution.

Why join Quantrim?

• Portfolio work with real authority, minus the sales grind of solo consulting.
• Frameworks, audits and an implementation team behind every recommendation.
• Performance-based culture: advice here is accountable to outcomes.
• Set your capacity: two to four engagements, Australian time zones, fully remote.

Compensation & benefits

• Day rate per engagement, plus incentives linked to client outcomes.
• Long-running engagements with notice periods, not one-off gigs.
• Full access to Quantrim’s tooling, research and delivery capability.
