We bring an unparalleled depth of technical, product and delivery expertise to our clients who span government, finance, retail, energy, life sciences and defence.

Our business, and reputation, is growing fast and we’re always on the lookout for individuals who share our intellectual curiosity and desire to build a positive legacy through technology.

We develop and embed AI solutions which help firms become more efficient, enhance customer experience, and find the commercial upside in uncertain markets. Within the constraints of a highly regulated industry, we see so much opportunity for meaningful innovation and are proud to set the gold-standard for marrying technical excellence with safe deployment.

About the role

Faculty is one of only 3 firms globally to be appointed an AI expert to UBS. We’re seeking a visionary Head of Asset Management to strengthen and expand our relationship with the world’s largest wealth manager, as well as to build on this success and evangelise our capabilities to others in the sector.
