Greenlight helps organizations solve complex business challenges through intelligent automation, agentic AI, and custom technology solutions. Our teams work directly with clients to understand their operations, identify opportunities, and rapidly build solutions that create measurable business value. We combine deep consulting expertise with hands-on engineering to bridge the gap between strategy and execution.

We're building a future where consultants and engineers work alongside AI to deliver faster outcomes, stronger businesses, and transformative customer experiences. We build with AI as a core delivery tool — Anthropic's Claude powers our discovery synthesis, analysis & design generation, and prompt engineering workflows, and this role sits at the center of that capability.

What makes a star at Greenlight?

Inherently inquisitive and driven — you want to know how everything works

Fluent in both business and technology — you translate between worlds effortlessly

Passionate about AI and automation — you stay ahead of the curve because it excites you

Outstanding communicator — in the room with a CFO or a developer, you are equally at home

Ownership mindset — you do not wait to be told; you move The Role The Automation Business Consultant is Greenlight’s connective tissue between client problems and automation solutions - equal parts discovery expert, AI prompt architect, pre-sales solutions contributor, and delivery quality anchor. You will work directly with clients in their environments - facilitating process workshops, uncovering automation opportunities, shaping AI agent logic, and producing the specifications that our RPA engineers and FDEs build against.

You will contribute to solution design and proposals, and own a disproportionate share of what determines whether a project is scoped correctly and delivers on time.

This role is purpose-built for someone mid-career who is technically sharp, client-confident, and ready to operate at the intersection of automation delivery and AI consulting. As the Automation Business Consultant, you are accountable for 2-3 engagements at a given time and are the intelligence and documentation layer that makes the rest of the pod move.

What You'll Do

Delivery Accountabilities

Partner with the PM for client readiness activities pre project kickoff

Lead process discovery workshops (onsite where required) running small builds in a single session and medium-to-large builds across three sessions with 1day Ai enabled PDD turnaround





Produce PDDs within one day of completing discovery — the authoritative build specification, zero ambiguity, zero gaps

Validate and refine AI-generated SDDs: accuracy against the PDD, security and scalability considerations confirmed and finalized with the engineer before build begins — without letting documentation block development

Facilitate sprint demos with the client at the close of each Build sprint

Begin test case development with the client in Week 1 of the build phase — in parallel with development, not after it — so UAT is ready to execute the moment a build is promotable

Coordinate UAT execution: prepare client testers, manage the schedule, triage defects, and drive closure before go-live

Where required, lead DU training during enablement and generate SOPs and change management materials where needed to close the gap between what was built and how the business will run it

AI Design &

- Prompt Engineering

Translate business problems into prompt architecture for Claude and other LLM components - defining reasoning logic, decision trees, fallback paths, output format specifications, and human-in-the-loop triggers

Specify output requirements in full — JSON schemas, response templates, validation rules — so developers integrate without guesswork

Design and run LLM output evaluation frameworks: pass/fail criteria for probabilistic responses, regression testing when prompts or models change, and output drift monitoring before issues reach the client

Maintain a prompt changelog and contribute to a shared testing library that raises quality standards across the practice

Solution Design &

- Scoping

Translate pre-sales discovery outputs into solution narratives: what the automation or AI agent will do, what it will replace, and what the business outcome looks like in concrete terms

Own the solution definition layer - translating what a client needs into a scope that the delivery team can execute against cleanly, with no interpretation required

Build reusable solution accelerators, discovery templates, and capability narratives that shorten the cycle on repeat opportunity types

Client &

- Delivery Engagement

Build trust with process owners and SMEs fast — you need the real detail, not the version they think you want

Stay active through the build: respond to developer queries quickly, flag scope and stakeholder risks the moment they surface, and keep the delivery thread tight

Present documentation, agent specs, and UAT outcomes for client sign-off — clearly, confidently, no ambiguity

Recognize and flag scope change triggers during build; partner with the PM to initiate CR process before absorbing out-of-scope requests.

What We're Looking For

Essential Experience

4–8 years in a AI or Automation Consultant,



or Technical Consulting role within technology

Proven experience facilitating client-facing process discovery and requirements workshops (in-person and remote) and translating outputs into formal documentation

Ability to produce structured requirements and process documentation: PDDs, BRDs, user stories, agent specs, test plans & test cases or equivalent deliverables built for an engineering team to execute against

Hands-on experience with RPA platforms (UiPath strongly preferred) or AI/LLM-powered automation

Direct exposure to AI tools, LLM APIs, or prompt engineering (formal role or through active self-taught)

Experience contributing to scoping, solution design, or proposal activities - understanding how a solution gets defined before it gets built

Anthropic Claude API, OpenAI API, or similar LLM interfaces: prompt design, output evaluation, and integration logic

Nce to have

Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps, or equivalent for backlog management and documentation

UiPath Business Analyst, Platform Associate, or Solution Architect certification

Anthropic or other LLM platform certifications or formal prompt engineering training

Blackbelt, CBAP, CCBA, IIBA, or equivalent BA certification

Background in a consulting, managed services, or systems integrator workplace (boutique preferred)

Background in technical scoping, solution engineering, or client-facing advisory

Skills &

- Competencies

Precision and attention to detail — your documentation is what gets built; ambiguity costs the project

Strong facilitation — Run structured workshops, control the room, and surface the detail that matters

Technical fluency — comfortable enough with APIs, JSON, and automation logic to design agent workflows, not just describe them

Analytical mindset — Deconstruct complex processes, define decision logic, and anticipate failure modes

Client-confident communicator — executive presence, ability to go deep on technical detail

Self-directed/fast-moving — comfortable in short-cycle delivery where not everything is defined upfront

Travel-ready — this role includes regular client-site travel; you treat that as an advantage, not a burden
