Job description

Omnea is the agentic operating system for procurement.

Procurement touches every pound a business spends, yet requests still stall for weeks and approvals get lost in inboxes. Our AI-first platform changes that: our agents capture requests, route approvals, onboard suppliers, flag risk and track every renewal, while anyone in the business can ask a question and get an answer grounded in their own company’s data. Buying becomes painless for everyone, procurement gets a seat at the table, and our customers have saved more than 100,000 hours of manual work so far.

Companies like Spotify, PayPal, T. Rowe Price, JustEat, Adyen and S&P Global run procurement on Omnea. We’re backed by $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners and Accel, and we’ve been named the UK’s number one startup in the Startups 100, ranked 11th on Sifted’s 2026 list of Europe’s fastest-growing companies, and recognised as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies.

Talent density matters more to us than almost anything else. We keep the bar high in every team, so everyone here has real ownership and real impact. Our team is full of former founders and operators who’ve scaled unicorns, and we’re looking for people who want to do the best work of their careers alongside them.

The Role

As an AI Deployment Lead / Applied AI Consultant, you'll work directly with our most strategic customers to understand their objectives and key challenges, identify high-impact AI opportunities, and translate them into measurable business value.

You'll be building AI solutions on Omnea's procurement automation platform, combining the structured data flowing through requests, approvals, contracts, and supplier records with AI. Omnea gives AI the operational context of how a business actually buys, so it can move past answering questions and start taking action inside procurement itself: routing requests, flagging risk, drafting contract terms, negotiating with suppliers. There is no AI without that context.

You'll prototype these solutions, demonstrate their value to executives, and ensure successful implementation, adoption, and value realisation, growing Omnea's footprint at those customers as you go.

This customer-facing role is ideal for people who enjoy working directly with customers and turning complex business challenges into practical AI solutions. The focus is on problem framing, solution design, and business impact rather than pure implementation. While you will prototype AI solutions, the primary goal is to deliver meaningful business value to customers.

What You'll Do

• Identify High-Impact AI Opportunities: Work closely with enterprise customers to understand their strategic priorities and operational challenges, identifying where AI can deliver measurable business value.
• Design AI-Powered Solutions: Translate complex business problems into scalable solution architectures, using Omnea's AI to eliminate manual work across procurement.
• Prototype and Demonstrate Value: Rapidly build prototypes and proof-of-value solutions that demonstrate tangible outcomes to business and technical stakeholders.
• Lead AI Innovation with Customers: Facilitate workshops, hackathons, and innovation sessions with customers to explore new ways AI can transform their operations.
• Drive Adoption and Business Impact: Partner with customer teams to ensure successful implementation, adoption, and realisation of measurable value from AI deployments.
• Develop Domain Expertise: Build deep expertise in specific industries or business domains (e.g., supply chain, finance) and help scale that knowledge across the organisation.

What's Different About This Role

• You'll spend more time on problem framing and validation than on hand-building every proof of value. AI can generate a working prototype fast; your job is deciding whether it actually solves the customer's problem.
• Writing a sharp brief for what you want AI to build is now core to the role, not a side skill.
• Judgment on business impact matters more than raw build speed: which use case actually moves the metric the customer cares about, and which is just an impressive demo.
• You'll keep pushing on what's possible as Omnea's AI tooling evolves, and bring what you learn back to the rest of the team.

About You

You might be a great fit if you…

• have 5+ years of experience in solutions consulting, data / AI consulting, technical pre-sales, sales engineering, value engineering, or customer-facing solution-architecture or AI roles
• enjoy translating business challenges into technical solutions
• can communicate complex technical concepts to business and executive stakeholders
• have a good understanding of business processes across procurement, finance, and supply chain, with the ability to translate high-level business needs into specific AI use cases
• demonstrate strong presentation skills to both internal and external stakeholders (including executives), whether whiteboarding sessions or formal readouts and demos
• know how to measure the business impact of what you've delivered, and can turn that into a clear story for stakeholders - time saved, error rates down, adoption up, whatever the metric that actually matters to that customer
• have hands-on experience identifying, designing, and building automations or AI-driven solutions for repeatable processes, not just scoping them on paper

At Omnea, we embrace diversity. To build a product that’s loved by everyone, we’re best served by a team with all sorts of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. And regardless of your race, religion, colour, gender, or anything else!
