Job description

Our client is a leading national health and medical research charity dedicated to transforming outcomes for over 4,000 individuals living with a rare genetic condition. With over £22m invested in pioneering medical research, a national network of healthcare support services, and a thriving retail footprint, the organisation combines compassionate care with ambitious vision.

The Opportunity: Be the Strategic 'AI Firelighter'

Are you a pragmatic problem-solver who can bridge high-level executive vision with hands‑on technical execution? Our client is embarking on an enterprise‑wide digital evolution backed directly by an enthusiastic CEO and Chair of Trustees.

This is not an advisory post, it is a delivery role. As the internal AI champion and "Swiss Army knife," you will bring "AI energy" to every directorate, discovering hidden operational friction, dismantling complex business rules, and embedding smart automation that turns manual tasks into modern, digital workflows.

• Drive Revenue & Fundraising Growth: Partner with the fundraising team to unlock donor data insights and leverage generative AI tools for grant applications and predictive analytics.
• Process Simplification & Discovery: Map operational pain points across directorates, streamlining undocumented, legacy processes into clean, automated workflows.
• Hands-on Solution Building: Design, prototype, configure, and connect AI tools, low-code automations, and third‑party integrations into existing platforms.
• Responsible Governance: Sit on the Change Advisory Board (CAB) to establish robust frameworks for responsible AI use, data protection, and privacy compliance.

While predominantly a Microsoft house utilising Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, and Power Platform, the organisation maintains a technology-neutral mindset. You will evaluate best-in‑class third‑party AI tools, custom APIs, and machine learning solutions to ensure maximum sustainable value.

What We’re Looking For

• Hands‑On AI Delivery: Proven experience taking AI, automation, or machine‑learning tools from initial concept through prototyping, integration, and user adoption.
• Business Analysis & Process Mindset: Ability to evaluate legacy processes, extract unwritten business rules, and re‑engineer them for automated digital environments.
• Technical Versatility: Familiarity with APIs, data integration, low‑code tools, and languages like Python, SQL, or Power Platform.
• Human‑Centric Leadership: Exceptional communication, capable of engaging both technical leads and non‑technical staff with empathy and clarity.
• Value‑Driven: Passionate about leveraging cutting‑edge technology for genuine social purpose and organisational impact.
