A high-growth, technology-led financial services business is seeking an experienced Interim AI Transformation Lead to work directly with the CTO and executive leadership team.

This is a business transformation role rather than a pure technical AI position. The successful candidate will help the organisation identify where AI can create value, accelerate adoption across the business, and build the capability required for long-term success.

• Lead the cultural and behavioural change required to drive AI adoption.
• Design and implement AI training, education and reskilling programmes.
• Build AI literacy across both technical and non-technical teams.
• Create an AI champion network and establish sustainable adoption practices.
• Help leaders redesign processes and ways of working to maximise the benefits of AI.
• Implement appropriate AI governance, risk and control frameworks.
• Measure adoption, capability growth and business outcomes.

About You

We are interested in speaking with individuals who combine a strong understanding of AI with proven organisational transformation experience.

You are likely to have:

• Led enterprise-wide AI, digital or data transformation programmes.
• Delivered significant change management initiatives.
• Designed and implemented workforce capability or reskilling programmes.
• Worked closely with CTOs, CIOs or executive leadership teams.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills.
• The ability to translate complex technical concepts into practical business outcomes.
• Experience within financial services, fintech, trading, technology or other fast-paced regulated environments.

If you have successfully helped organisations move beyond AI experimentation into genuine adoption and capability building, we would be interested in speaking with you.
