[Hiring] Senior Consultant, AI Development and Go to Market Strategy @Community Solutions

Role Description

Community Solutions has built working AI tools in-house, quickly and at a cost that wasn't possible before, and our portfolio is growing. The constraint now is that nearly all of the hands-on work—building the tools, making the build-or-partner calls, carrying the funder and technology relationships, preparing and executing a testing and deployment strategy, and forecasting the role that AI may play in our future strategy for making homelessness rare and brief nationwide—sits with a small group part-time. The Senior Consultant will provide additional capacity and expertise to advance this work.

The Senior Consultant will support and advance the organization's AI work in the field:

• Guide the building and shipping of tools for testing and refinement within our network of 170+ communities.
• Inform the strategy for moving high-impact prototypes into adoption across the network.
• Help inform and apply Community Solutions' principles around AI use.
• Assure everything produced keeps a human in the decision loop and protects the dignity and data of the people the work serves.
• Review AI tools throughout development and deployment to control for bias.
• Work closely with Community Solutions' internal and external partners to advance the AI portfolio.
• Support the development and testing of tools.
• Help identify opportunities to move high-impact prototypes toward adoption.
• Develop the budget associated with the go-to-market strategy.
• Present recommendations to the Community Solutions Executive Team and Board of Directors for review and approval.

Qualifications

• Technical depth, product judgment, and the ability to manage external partnerships.
• Demonstrated ability to build with current AI tools and ship working software.
• Familiarity with model deployment, security, and compliance is a strong plus.
• Product judgment with a track record of knowing what is worth building.
• Experience managing partnerships with external organizations, ideally including technology or funding partners.
• Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving situations with a bias toward shipping over planning.
• Commitment to Community Solutions' mission.
• Familiarity with homelessness or human services; data is a plus.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Requirements

• At least one AI tool moves from prototype to active use in Community Solutions' partner communities.
• The privacy-safe infrastructure needed to pilot tools that touch sensitive data is stood up and validated.
• At least one meaningful technology or funding partnership is established that did not exist before this person joined.
• The portfolio compounds, with tools building on each other rather than accumulating as one-offs.
• The Year One AI strategy aligns with and informs Community Solutions' post-2026 strategy.
• Community Solutions has a credible, grounded voice on AI in homelessness response.

Benefits

• The compensation range for this consulting position is $168,827 - $191,848.
• The actual compensation will be commensurate with the consultant's experience and qualifications.

Work Environment

• The position provides for the flexibility to work from a remote US location.
• Travel will be required to meet with communities, partners, and allies.
