This newly created role will work closely with senior leadership to turn the organisation’s AI ambitions into measurable outcomes. The successful candidate will identify high-impact opportunities for automation and AI adoption, oversee pilot programmes, and support the effective rollout of tools that enhance efficiency, quality and client service.

About You

You are an experienced professional with a proven track record of leading AI, automation or digital transformation initiatives within a consultancy, professional services or knowledge-led environment.

You combine strategic thinking with hands-on delivery, able to identify opportunities, build compelling business cases and guide initiatives from pilot stage through to embedded operational use. Comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders, you can clearly communicate complex technological concepts and build confidence in new ways of working.

Experience working closely with IT teams and cross functional business units is essential, as is the ability to drive cultural change and foster enthusiasm for innovation across an organisation.

This is an excellent opportunity to step into a highly visible role shaping how a professional services business adopts and benefits from artificial intelligence. You will play a key role in leading meaningful innovation, working closely with senior leadership and delivering practical improvements to both internal operations and client outcomes.
