Mace group; Greater London; Hybrid; GBP 37,000 - 77,000; Full time

Job summary

Mace group in London seeks an experienced AI specialist to design and build agentic workflows that retrieve, compare, reason over and summarize enterprise content, with traceable outputs and audit trails.

You will work on client-facing digital tools within our Digital Centre of Excellence, collaborating across MS 365, SharePoint and Power Platform, and help deploy reliable, maintainable AI solutions with cost estimation and model-agnostic designs.

Qualifications

• Experience designing and building AI agents or agentic workflows that retrieve, compare, reason over and summarise enterprise content.
• Ability to design traceable outputs with citations and audit trails, and explain where AI is summarising source material versus creating new content.
• Strong hands-on capability across Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and Power Platform, including Copilot for 365 and Copilot Studio.
• Ability to build or integrate with document stores, structured registers and unstructured files, including Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDFs, SharePoint libraries, metadata and version histories.
• Strong general software engineering fundamentals, including clean code, modular design, testing, CI/CD, secure deployment and maintainability.
• Ability to estimate cost, usage and operational run-rate for AI solutions.
• Comfort designing model-agnostic architectures where required.
• Evidence of building solutions where explainability and adoption matter as much as technical capability.

Responsibilities

• Work autonomously on smaller or low complexity projects, or as part of a larger project team responsible for a particular deliverable or area of delivery.
• Contribute to the development of digital tools, processes and outputs, including agentic data interfaces, that support the wider project team and enable better delivery of projects for our clients.
• Adhere to a structured development lifecycle that includes requirements definition, design, development and testing, user acceptance testing, deployment, handover and post-implementation support.
• Gather basic requirements and create a task list to manage deliverables, including maintaining regular contact with direct stakeholders.
• Attend all training and other sessions organised by the centre of excellence, contributing through presentation of sessions or content aligned to your interests.
• Keep knowledge of commercial AI models and tools up to date through self-directed learning and independent exploration of new tools and functionality.
• Interface with the project team and, when applicable, stakeholders from other organisations on joint venture projects or client work.
