About the role

AI Delivery Leads are expected to work in small teams of Tomoro and client engineers to design, build, and deploy AI applications.

The role involves leading project delivery, mentoring colleagues, and staying updated with AI advancements. Delivery leads are critical in ensuring our AI solutions are reliable, ethically compliant, and rigorously tested.

Senior Client Relationships

Building robust, trusted relationships with senior business and technical clients. We aren’t a company of body‑shop engineers – we constructively challenge our clients to help them become AI leaders in their field.

You may work across multiple accounts or projects simultaneously, amplifying your impact through effective team leadership. Your ability to juggle various responsibilities will be key to the success of our projects.
