Business Implementation Consultant

When Coaley Peak deploys an AI solution into a client business, the technical build is only part of the challenge. The harder part is people: getting teams to understand why the change is happening, trust the new tools, adapt their processes, and actually use what has been built. That is where you come in. As a Business Implementation Consultant, you will be embedded with client organisations (sometimes for days, sometimes for weeks) helping them navigate the human side of AI adoption. You will run workshops, redesign workflows, train staff, create adoption plans, and act as the calm, knowledgeable voice that bridges Coaley Peak's technical team and the client's people. You do not need to be an engineer. You need to understand what the technology does, be able to explain it clearly to anyone (from a warehouse operative to a managing director) and be skilled at helping organisations change how they work. This role sits within our Client Implementation team and works closely with our Forward Deployed Engineers and Client Solutions Directors on every engagement.
