PCG is seeking an AI Solutions Analyst to support the design, delivery, and ongoing monitoring of AI-enabled solutions within state government environments. This role bridges client-facing requirements work with hands-on responsibility for how the AI system actually performs — translating policy and program needs into structured requirements, and using evaluation data to diagnose and improve system output quality.
The ideal candidate combines business analysis discipline with practical, hands-on fluency in enterprise AI — not just understanding how agentic workflows behave, but analyzing evaluation results with basic statistical reasoning and using that diagnosis to shape system behavior, within real-world constraints of performance, cost, and explainability.
This role is ideal for candidates who want to work inside how enterprise AI environments by writing the requirements, measuring the results, and closing the gap between the two.
What This Role Is Not
Not a data science or ML infrastructure role (no model architecture, training pipelines, or platform engineering)
Not a traditional business analyst role focused only on documentation
Not a project manager role only owning delivery execution or sprint ceremonies
Not a prompt-only or AI tool usage role without enterprise context understanding
Not a role where success is measured by prompt-writing volume — tuning here is diagnosis-led, grounded in evaluation data, not trial-and-error prompting
Key Responsibilities
Client Engagement & Requirements Facilitation
Support and lead client requirements sessions and discovery discussions
Translate policy and operational workflows into structured requirements
Serve as a bridge between stakeholders and technical teams
AI Solution Design & Tuning
Support design of AI-enabled solutions and define use cases
Develop and document AI workflows
Design evaluation test sets with attention to sample size and representativeness across case types (LTC, ADB, etc.)
Analyze evaluation results using basic statistical reasoning — error rates, false positive/negative patterns, distribution of failure modes — to identify where and why the system underperforms
Iterate on prompts and instructions to address root causes identified through evaluation analysis
Identify tradeoffs related to performance, cost, token usage, and explainability
Partner with technical leads on tuning cycles within established review and sign-off processes
Delivery & Operations Support
Support broader program operations as needed — process design, cross-workstream coordination, and other work that helps scale delivery beyond a single engagement
Required Qualifications
Strong communication skills
Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution
4+ years of experience as a Business Analyst, Solutions Analyst, or Consultant
Experience translating complex needs into structured deliverables
Client-facing experience in requirements sessions and workshops
Working knowledge of basic statistics — sample sizes, error rates, false positive/negative distinction, and comfort reading distributions — sufficient to design representative evaluation test sets and interpret results
Hands-on experience iterating on prompts/instructions for LLM-based systems in a production or near-production setting
Working knowledge of AI systems, including behavior, limitations, and agentic workflows
Practical understanding of model selection tradeoffs, context/cost constraints, and agentic workflow limitations beyond prompt-level interaction with frontier models
Technical understanding of system architecture, data flows, APIs, and integrations
Preferred Qualifications
Experience supporting public-sector or compliance-driven programs
Familiarity with AI implementation patterns such as RAG and multi-agent workflows
Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS Bedrock preferred, Azure acceptable)
Familiarity with AI risks: bias, hallucination, explainability
Familiarity with compliance-driven delivery environments, including responsible AI practices, federal or state regulatory requirements, or structured governance frameworks
