About the Company
Aistra is an AI transformation and deployment company operating across India, MENA, the UK and Australia. We take clients through all four stages of AI transformation: strategy and roadmap, solution build, production deployment, and operations at scale. Most firms pick one of those and call it a practice. Delivery runs on 80 assets of registered IP, spanning accelerators, toolkits and codified domain playbooks, carried into engagements by embedded pods rather than sold as a slide pack. Aistra Talent builds and calibrates that workforce against defined role archetypes and places them directly into client teams. The Forward Deployed Consultant is the archetype that carries the commercial thread. Everything the pod builds has to survive a conversation this person had first.
About the Role
Most AI business cases fall apart in the same room. Not the workshop where the ideas get generated, the meeting where the CFO asks where the number came from. The benefit is a percentage borrowed from a vendor deck, the baseline was never measured,



and nobody can name which line of the P&L; moves or in which quarter. The programme gets deferred, or funded at a fraction of the ask, and the technology was never the reason.
That is the problem this role exists to solve. The Forward Deployed Consultant carries the business thread of an engagement end to end. You find where AI moves a real P&L; lever, size and defend the case in a form a CFO will accept, write the response that wins the work, specify what gets built, build the prototype that sells it, and stay through delivery until the value shows up in the client's numbers.
This is a forward deployed role, based in India and deployed across India, MENA, the UK and Australia, for people with three to seven years behind them. You work inside the client's workplace, alongside their people, onsite or remote as the engagement requires. Expect to rotate across engagements, sectors and geographies.
