• Advise clients on the development of modern data ecosystems, including cloud platforms, data products and semantic modelling
• Oversee the design of AI solutions that integrate effectively with existing technology, operational processes and business teams
• Establish appropriate frameworks for AI governance, risk management, security and ongoing performance monitoring
• Work closely with engineering, product and business teams to ensure successful implementation and adoption of new technologies
• Define commercial success measures, track performance and demonstrate the return on investment of transformation initiatives
• Lead client proposals, develop new business opportunities and contribute to strategic pitches and presentations
• Support the expansion of the consulting practice through proposition development, market engagement and thought leadership
• Recruit, mentor and develop talented individuals, fostering a collaborative environment focused on innovation and continuous improvement

We're looking for an experienced Data & AI leader who combines strategic thinking, consulting expertise and a strong understanding of how modern AI can be applied to solve complex business problems.

You'll ideally have:

• Significant experience leading Data, Analytics and/or AI transformation programmes
• Strong experience working in consulting or senior client-facing environments
• A proven ability to work with executive and C-suite stakeholders and act as a trusted strategic advisor
• Experience taking organisations from AI experimentation through to enterprise adoption
