Pioneer Management Consulting
Minneapolis, MN Full Time
POSTED ON 9/25/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 11/25/2025

As a Principal, Artificial Intelligence, you will be a part of a growing team working in a fast-paced environment to help clients solve complex issues and deliver exceptional results in novel ways. You are a self-driven management consultant who excels at guiding organizations to accomplish their strategic objectives through technology & execution excellence.  We're looking for an AI Specialist who is passionate about building cutting edge AI solutions — especially using Microsoft Copilot Studio and other leading web-based AI development platforms.  You are front and center with our clients and their executive teams, exploring new solutions, developing market-defining roadmaps and rolling up your sleeves to execute the vision. 

If you love working at the intersection of business problems and technical innovation, and you're excited to create AI applications that truly move the needle for clients — we want to meet you. 

What You'll Do 

  • Strategize & Coach: Help clients and team members better understand AI capabilities, create strategies and drive adoption of the tools you build. 
  • Design and Build: Lead the design, development, and deployment of AI applications using Microsoft Copilot Studio, Azure OpenAI Services, and other web-based AI development frameworks. 
  • Collaborate and Co-Create: Work closely with business strategists, developers, and client stakeholders to design solutions that are intuitive, scalable, and solve real business challenges. 
  • Prototype Rapidly: Build proofs-of-concept and minimum viable products (MVPs) to quickly validate ideas and assumptions, leveraging agile development approaches. 
  • Integrate: Connect AI applications to enterprise data sources, CRM systems, operational platforms, and more — ensuring solutions are robust, secure, and sustainable. 
  • Stay Current: Keep ahead of evolving AI technologies, Copilot extensions, LLM advancements, and best practices for secure, responsible AI deployment. 

What You'll Bring 

  • Experience: 3 years of professional experience in AI application development, with a strong track record of delivering production-ready solutions preferred. 
  • Technical Expertise: 
  • Hands-on expertise with Microsoft Copilot Studio (building custom copilots, leveraging plugins/connectors). 
  • Proficiency in Azure AI services (e.g., Azure OpenAI, Cognitive Services, Bot Framework). 
  • Strong skills in Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate) and/or low-code development environments. 
  • Familiarity with REST APIs, GraphQL, and integration architectures. 
  • Consulting Mindset: Ability to translate business needs into technical solutions, with an emphasis on clear communication, stakeholder engagement, and problem-solving. 
  • Builder's Spirit: You enjoy creating — not just maintaining — and you thrive in fast-paced environments where curiosity, experimentation, and collaboration are key. 
  • Ethical AI Awareness: A working knowledge of responsible AI practices, bias mitigation, security standards, and data privacy requirements. 

Bonus Points If You Also Bring: 

  • Familiarity with Copilot extensions for Dynamics 365, Teams, or SharePoint. 
  • Skills in JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, or other backend web languages. 
  • Knowledge of industry-specific AI applications (e.g., healthcare, manufacturing, financial services).
