Job Description:

Bestman Solutions is partnering with a highly regarded investment management firm embarking on a transformative, firm-wide AI strategy. This initiative spans multiple departments—including investment, operations, and finance—and signifies a significant commitment to integrating AI at the core of the business.

We are seeking a Senior AI Strategist to serve as the technical leader behind this vision. This role will provide expert AI knowledge and thought leadership, working closely with senior business stakeholders and a trusted third-party partner responsible for delivery.

This is a unique opportunity to influence the future of AI within a sophisticated financial institution—helping to define the roadmap, guide the design of key AI projects, and ensure they deliver innovation and tangible business value.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and influence the firm's enterprise-wide AI roadmap.
• Provide technical AI leadership across departments such as finance, operations, and investment.
• Collaborate with external technology partners to design and execute AI projects effectively.
• Propose innovative AI use cases and explore new possibilities for the business.
• Translate complex AI concepts into strategic insights for senior stakeholders.
• Advise the business on AI opportunities, balancing vision with practical impact.
• Ensure alignment between business needs and technical implementation through ongoing consultation.

Candidate Requirements:

• Experience in investment management is essential.
• Strong academic background in Computer Science, Mathematics, or related AI fields.
• Experience in creatively applying AI—architecting solutions, not just implementing them.
• Confident and credible communication skills.

If you meet these criteria, we would love to hear from you. This role is part-time, averaging 2-4 days per week, with flexibility. While based in central London and expected to attend key meetings in person, most work can be done remotely.
