Agentic AI Lead, Director — Federal

ASI Government provides government leaders with the expertise they need to navigate acquisition and organizational challenges so they can make an impact and achieve their goals. For over 30 years, ASI has transformed the way government does business, impacting over 70 government agencies across the civilian, defense, and intelligence communities.

Do you thrive on creating unique and impactful value for Federal clients? Are you passionate about partnering with clients and collaborating to create solutions? Do you enjoy the opportunity to drive change that impacts our nation?

We are looking for smart, curious, driven individuals to join us in partnering with our client to help them solve some of the nation’s most challenging problems. ASI Government serves as a trusted adviser to government leaders seeking improved performance, enhanced organization effectiveness, and strategic change.

The AI Consultant will be ASI's senior technical-consulting voice on artificial intelligence and emerging technology opportunities across federal and DoD engagements. This is a pre-sales-leaning, client-facing role — part technologist, part trusted advisor — someone who can sit across the table from a federal executive, translate AI, data, and automation capability into mission impact, and shape that conversation into a qualified, winnable opportunity. The role partners closely with Business Development/Capture leads to bring AI and emerging-tech expertise into the pipeline, and works with delivery teams to ensure what's proposed is deliverable.

Key Responsibilities:

Serve as the senior consulting advisor on AI and emerging-technology opportunities during client discovery, shaping, and capture

Partner with Business Development/Capture leads to identify, qualify, and shape AI-enabled solutions across the DoD/Federal pipeline

Lead client-facing discovery sessions, translating mission needs into an AI/technology strategy narrative executives can act on

Support proposal development — win themes, solutioning, and technical input for AI-related volumes

Build and maintain relationships with technical and mission stakeholders across DoD/federal agencies

Track GenAI, automation, and data-platform trends and translate them into concrete, government-relevant use cases — including acquisition and back-office process automation, an area where ASI already delivers measurable results

Represent ASI at industry events and conferences focused on AI/emerging technology in government

Coordinate with delivery and Emerging Technologies practice teams to keep proposed AI solutions grounded, resourced, and deliverable

Required:

8–10+ years combined experience across technology consulting and/or AI/data strategy, including federal or DoD client work

Demonstrated pre-sales or business-development-adjacent experience — comfortable shaping opportunities in front of clients, not only delivering them

Strong working knowledge of AI/ML, automation, and data concepts sufficient to advise at a strategic level (hands-on coding not required)

Excellent executive presence, communication, and relationship-building skills

Experience supporting proposal development and capture efforts

Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree preferred

Active Secret clearance (preferred) and ability to obtain a Top Secret clearance required

Preferred:

Experience in a pre-sales or engineering sales environment.

Deep network of CIO’s and other Technology Leaders in the DoW space.

Existing relationships with DoD/federal technical or mission stakeholders

Experience with GWACs, IDIQs, and OTAs

Prior experience at a top-tier consulting firm or systems integrator

Clearance: Top Secret or higher
