We are looking for an AI Strategy Senior Associate to join our Data & AI practice within Aprio's Technology Advisory group.

This role suits an early-career professional with applied AI experience who wants to stay hands-on with solution development while growing into client-facing advisory work.
This position is a heavy in person customer facing role that requires travel and interaction with customers across the US.
Responsibilities:
AI strategy and assessment
- Conduct AI readiness assessments and data maturity evaluations that help clients understand their current capabilities and see where AI and automation can support value creation.
- Translate business challenges into prioritized Data and AI use cases and help shape transformation roadmaps that align technology investments with client objectives.
- Research emerging AI capabilities (large language models, machine learning, data management, generative AI, and agentic AI) and explain them in clear, accessible terms for non-technical stakeholders.
Solution design and delivery
- Design and prototype agentic AI solutions across our core solution types: document processing and workflow automation; automated communication and prediction analytics; system integration and data synchronization; real-time external data validation; and business intelligence with work prioritization.
- Build proof-of-concept solutions and demos that help business teams explore the potential of Data and AI and analytics approaches, applying a structured approach to comparing models and options so recommendations are well-reasoned.
- Support SOW-based engagement delivery across discovery, kickoff, weekly status, and final delivery, contributing alongside the delivery team.
Responsible AI and governance
- Help clients adopt AI responsibly, sustainably, and compliantly, building appropriate safeguards and monitoring into solution design.
- Contribute to AI and data governance frameworks that promote responsible, sustainable, and compliant use of AI.
Client partnership
- Act as a bridge between technical and business domains, the role our team calls a Data Translator / Business Engineer, turning technical detail into business value.
- Partner with business stakeholders to understand their needs and help translate them into data- and AI-driven solutions.
- Present concepts and findings to business audiences in clear language, including through workshops and working sessions.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer science, Data Science, Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
- 3+ years of applied AI, data management, or machine learning experience. Strong internship, research, or academic project work is welcome in place of full-time experience.
- Hands-on experience building AI or machine learning solutions, including work with large language models, natural language processing (NLP), or agentic AI approaches.
- Strong programming skills in Python, with experience using modern AI development tools.
- Ability to move between technical detail and business value, and to communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a structured, well-tested approach to AI work.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience with agentic or autonomous agent design and AI-assisted development workflows.
- Exposure to taking AI or machine learning solutions beyond a notebook toward deployment, for example through a major cloud platform, containerization, or basic monitoring, gained via internships, research, or coursework.
- Exposure to responsible AI practices such as model evaluation, explainability, and fairness or drift checks.
- Familiarity with business intelligence tools (for example, Power BI or Tableau) and modern data platforms (for example, Snowflake, Databricks, or Spark).
- Exposure to client business systems and ERPs (NetSuite, QBO/IES, Acumatica, or Sage) is a plus.
- Interest in client-facing advisory work and a helpful, customer-oriented approach.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding STEM OPT Authorization as a Senior Business Intelligence Engineer
Verify your CIP code before applying
Check your degree's CIP code against the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List before targeting roles. Business analytics and management information systems degrees qualify; a general business degree often does not, even if your coursework was quantitative.
Confirm E-Verify enrollment before accepting offers
Ask recruiters for the company's E-Verify company ID or look up enrollment status through the E-Verify employer search. A company that isn't enrolled cannot legally employ you on a STEM OPT extension, regardless of how willing they are to sponsor.
Build a portfolio of SQL and BI deliverables now
Hiring managers for Senior BI Engineer roles screen for production-level dashboards, data modeling schemas, and query optimization examples. A GitHub repository with documented ETL pipelines or Power BI reports signals you can contribute from day one, which reduces employer hesitation around OPT timelines.
Target employers with active H-1B LCA history
Use Migrate Mate to filter Senior Business Intelligence Engineer roles by employers with verified DOL Labor Condition Application filing history. Companies that have filed LCAs for BI or data engineering roles have already navigated the visa sponsorship process and understand the requirements.
Negotiate your I-983 training plan during the offer stage
The I-983 must specify learning objectives tied to your BI role, such as developing dimensional data models or leading cross-functional reporting initiatives. Raise this document during offer negotiation, not after signing, so HR and your direct manager align on the formal training structure USCIS expects.
Apply 90 days before your OPT expiration date
USCIS requires your STEM OPT extension application to be filed no earlier than 90 days before your current EAD expires. Coordinate with your DSO to submit the I-765 within that window so you maintain continuous work authorization without a gap between your initial OPT and the extension.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior Business Intelligence Engineer role qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
Yes, if your job duties involve applying STEM knowledge, such as building data pipelines, designing dimensional models, or developing analytics infrastructure. The role itself must connect directly to your STEM degree field. Your DSO will confirm the match when approving your I-983 training plan, which formally documents how the position develops your technical skills.
Which STEM degrees make me eligible for the STEM OPT extension in a BI engineering role?
Degrees in computer science, information systems, statistics, applied mathematics, data science, or computer engineering are commonly accepted. Check your degree's CIP code against the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List. General business or management degrees without a quantitative or technical focus typically do not qualify, even if you completed data-heavy coursework during your program.
What does the I-983 training plan need to include for a Senior BI Engineer position?
Your I-983 must outline specific learning goals tied to the BI role, such as mastering cloud data warehouse architecture, building automated reporting systems, or leading data governance initiatives. Both you and your employer sign it, and USCIS can audit compliance. Vague objectives that don't connect to your technical degree field are a common reason training plans get flagged.
How do I find Senior Business Intelligence Engineer employers enrolled in E-Verify?
You can search employer enrollment status through the E-Verify employer search tool. Migrate Mate also surfaces Senior Business Intelligence Engineer roles at employers with active visa sponsorship history, so you can prioritize companies already familiar with the STEM OPT compliance requirements, including E-Verify enrollment and I-983 reporting obligations.
What happens to my STEM OPT authorization if my employer loses E-Verify enrollment after I start?
If your employer's E-Verify participation terminates while you're on STEM OPT, your work authorization is at risk. You must report employer changes to your DSO within five days and file an updated I-983. If the employer cannot restore enrollment, you'll need to find a new E-Verify-enrolled employer or your STEM OPT extension may be invalidated by USCIS.
