Technology Activation Consultant

Transform strategy into working technology.

Clark Schaefer Consulting (CSC) partners with Fortune 1000 and high‑growth organizations to solve complex growth, risk, and technology challenges. As part of Clark Schaefer Hackett—a Top 60 U.S. accounting and advisory firm founded in 1938—we combine national resources with local dedication across 10 offices.

Our consultants act as true extensions of our clients’ teams, taking full accountability for outcomes.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Technology Activation Consultant who is both a hands‑on technologist and a trusted client advisor.

This is not a back‑office development role.

You’ll work directly with clients to design, build, and deploy custom software, automation, and AI‑enabled solutions, leveraging modern development stacks and AI-powered tooling (including Claude Code). You’ll collaborate across CSC teams (Operational Excellence, Data Analytics, Cybersecurity, Internal Audit) to deliver integrated, real‑world results.

What You’ll Do

Custom Software & Systems Integration

• Design and deliver custom applications aligned to client business needs
• Write clean, maintainable code (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, C#, SQL)
• Lead end-to-end SDLC: discovery → design → build → deploy → support
• Integrate enterprise systems (ERP, CRM, BI) via APIs and middleware

• Use Claude Code as a primary AI‑assisted development tool
• Apply AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.) to boost velocity and quality
• Build AI‑enabled features using LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI)
• Recommend emerging AI tools that create measurable client value
• Partner with CSC’s AI team on AI roadmapping, governance, and agentic AI delivery

• Identify system performance gaps and implement optimizations
• Build automation using Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Azure) and RPA
• Support IoT, control system, and hardware integration initiatives
• Conduct code and architecture reviews to drive continuous improvement

• Act as the technical liaison between clients and CSC teams
• Lead discovery sessions, workshops, and technical presentations
• Manage multiple projects using agile methodologies
• Mentor junior consultants and contribute to internal standards and tooling

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field
• 2+ years of experience in custom software development and integration
• Proficiency in multiple languages (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, C#, SQL)
• Hands‑on experience with AI‑assisted development tools (Claude Code preferred)
• Experience building solutions using LLM APIs
• Familiarity with Microsoft Power Platform and/or cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP)
• Strong client-facing communication skills

• RPA experience (UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Power Automate Desktop)
• Exposure to agentic AI frameworks (LangChain, AutoGen, Anthropic tool use)
• ServiceNow, Ignition SCADA/HMI, or IoT environments
• Microsoft or cloud certifications
• Background in consulting, accounting, operations, or manufacturing
• Cybersecurity and secure development knowledge

• People‑first culture grounded in REAL values: Relationships, Excellence, Accountability, Leadership
• Competitive salary + performance bonus
• Comprehensive benefits + generous PTO
• Diverse clients and projects—no two engagements are the same
• Investment in learning: AI tools, training, certifications
• Hybrid flexibility with meaningful client interaction
• Clear career progression

We sit at the intersection of strategy and execution, helping clients move from vision to working technology. Our team delivers custom software, automation, AI integration, system optimization, and technology roadmaps—and we take pride in owning outcomes.
