Job Description
Data & AI Solutions Consultant (Arabic speaking)
Remote (Riyadh, KSA)
Base salary: 25,000–30,000 SAR/month
Lithe People is recruiting on behalf of a client in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for a remote Data & AI Solutions Consultant. This is a hybrid presales and delivery role, with a strong emphasis on hands-on implementation and ownership of Data and AI solutions.
The successful candidate will work closely with clients to identify data and AI opportunities, design practical solutions, contribute to proposals where required, and personally support delivery from concept through to production.
Role Overview
This role suits a delivery-oriented Data & AI consultant who is comfortable moving between solution design, client engagement, and hands-on implementation.
While presales and solutioning are part of the role, the client is specifically looking for someone who can turn designs into working systems, not just define architectures or roadmaps.
Key Responsibilities
You will be expected to contribute across both solution design and delivery, including:
Engage with clients to understand business problems and translate them into clear, implementable Data, AI and GenAI use cases
Design end-to-end data and AI solutions, covering ingestion, processing, storage, analytics and AI layers
Contribute to technical proposals, scopes of work, estimates and RFP responses, with a practical delivery mindset
Support and, where required, lead PoCs, demos and pilots, ensuring they are production-relevant
Actively participate in delivery, from discovery and design through build, testing, deployment and handover
Work closely with data engineers, cloud architects and ML engineers to ensure solutions are scalable, secure and maintainable
Build and support data platforms such as data lakes, data warehouses and real-time pipelines
Contribute to Generative AI solutions, including LLM integration, RAG patterns, vector databases, embeddings and prompt design
This is not a role limited to presales, governance or high-level architecture — delivery ownership is expected.
Profile
The client is looking for someone who can demonstrate real delivery experience, not just solution oversight:
7–12 years’ experience in Data & AI solutioning and delivery, with some exposure to presales or client-facing design
Strong hands-on experience with Python and SQL
Practical exposure to machine learning, LLMs and Generative AI use cases
Proven experience designing and delivering data architectures (data lakes, data warehouses, ETL/ELT pipelines)
Experience contributing to proposals, estimates and delivery planning for Data & AI initiatives
Comfortable working directly with business stakeholders while remaining technically hands-on
Evidence of delivering end-to-end solutions, from data ingestion and feature engineering through to deployment and integration
Working Model & Location
Remote role, aligned to Riyadh (KSA)
Candidates must be comfortable working with stakeholders in KSA time zones and business context
Contract / Employment Model
Offered primarily as a permanent role
The client will also consider a full-time contract (per diem) engagement for an initial 6-month period
Important clarification for candidates
This role is best suited to candidates who enjoy building and delivering Data & AI solutions.
Candidates whose recent experience is predominantly programme management, IT governance, or transformation oversight — with limited hands-on delivery — may find this role is not the right fit.
Requirements
The role is only open to people who are currently living and working in KSA. Preference will be given to Saudi nationals and those who have held KSA residency for a number of years and speak fluent Arabic.
Benefits
Whilst this job is primarily offered as a permanent hire by our client, they have indicated that they would also consider someone on a per diem rate contract (full time) for 6 months
