An AI Strategy Consultant helps companies figure out where AI fits in their business: identifies high-leverage use cases, sizes investment, designs pilots, and builds the executive case for AI initiatives. They sit between leadership, product, and engineering, and the role demands business acumen, AI literacy, and the consulting craft to turn ambiguity into a defensible plan. The good ones leave behind a roadmap and a team that can execute it.
AI Strategy Consultants earn at the top of the consulting market, with rates pushed up by AI demand. Expect an average U.S. salary of $11,700 per month compared with an average Latin American salary of $3,000 per month, creating potential savings of up to 74%. LatAm has built a strong AI consulting bench from former Big Four, MBB, and industry consulting backgrounds, with consultants supporting U.S. companies on AI strategy remotely.
Yes, AI strategy consulting is fully remote-friendly. South contracts the consultant locally, runs payroll and compliance, and bills you monthly. They join your leadership Slack, Notion, and exec staff cadence day one. Time-zone alignment is critical for executive interviews and live workshops.
Strong consulting craft (structured thinking, executive communication, business acumen), enough AI technical literacy to argue with engineers, and the operational instinct to design pilots that actually ship. Look for consultants with shipped pilots and clear before/after metrics. Test with a strategy case: identify three AI bets for a hypothetical company in their industry.
Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets for modeling. PowerPoint and Google Slides for executive decks. Notion or Coda for working docs. ChatGPT and Claude for direct exploration. Mode or Looker for SQL exploration. Familiarity with eval tools (LangSmith, Braintrust) and the AI/ML stack at a working level (not deep coding) helps the consultant credibly argue with engineers.
An AI Solutions Architect designs the technical architecture for shipping AI: model selection, infrastructure, eval. An AI Strategy Consultant designs the business case: where AI fits, what to invest, how to organize. Architects make tech calls. Consultants make business calls. Most companies use the consultant first, then bring in architects to execute the plan.
South vets LatAm AI strategy consultants through structured interviews, written case exercises (strategy memo from a brief), and reference checks. You see a shortlist in seven to ten days, run your own interviews, and onboard inside two to three weeks. South handles the contract, monthly payments, and a replacement guarantee.

The region has the perfect mix of everything you want in remote employees: English skills, shared time zones, hard-working, and depth of talent. They are already accustomed to working remotely for top US startups and Fortune 500 companies.
Absolutely! The US and Latin America have basically the same time zones. No Latin American city is more than two hours ahead of EST.
Every hire is sourced based on your exact needs. They will arrive ready to support your business right away. They can do basically any tasks done remotely, but we recommend starting them as support so your team has more bandwidth for high-value strategic tasks.
All types of roles - customer service, executive assistant, sales, accounting, email marketing, lead generation, content writers, operations, social media marketing, and more!
You can pay directly through us (most popular) or we can connect you with one of our payroll partners.
You don't have to deal with any American labor laws / taxes when hiring full-time remote contractors. They aren't US-based, so no visas or sponsorships to deal with either.
We recommend market pay which varies for each role. See our salary guide and success stories for some ideas.
Then, we have two different models:
Staffing (most popular) - We charge a small monthly fee for each employee's monthly salary to make the process hassle-free. The fee covers sourcing, recruiting, admin, payroll, compliance, ongoing support, and a free replacement if necessary at any point. There are no cancellation fees or minimum commitments. You only pay if you make a hire.
Headhunting - A one-time simple fee once we've found the perfect candidate. This comes with a 120-day replacement guarantee.
For both options, you only pay something if we find you someone great that you want to hire.
Yes, we only recruit for full-time and we strongly recommend full-time hiring if you can. Stability (full-time & long-term) is highly sought after abroad. The top caliber candidates are only looking for full-time work.
You're also going to spend time training and getting them up to speed on your processes. It would be a waste to do that over and over again with new people all the time.
We recommend training new hires on one thing at a time.
For example, once they get up to speed on lead generation, you can add the next role writing blog posts or whatever you'd like. You can definitely overlap roles until you have enough work for multiple people.
The cost of living is much less in Latin American countries. Many of our employees are able to own homes, raise families, provide for their parents, and have in-home help of their own with their salaries.
If you aren't happy with your hire in the first 120 days, we will work with you to conduct a second round of search for the same role for free.
