About the role
- Define and maintain the internal AI roadmap, prioritising high-impact, low-risk automations that drive measurable business outcomes
- Lead cross-functional AI initiatives across the business, ensuring alignment with architectural standards, security governance, and ROI targets
- Drive the cultural shift to an "AI-First" mindset—developing training programs, managing change, and reducing "AI anxiety" across non-technical teams
- Define and report KPIs such as "Hours Reclaimed," "Process Velocity," and "Cost per Automation," delivering quarterly impact reports to the executive team
- Act as the bridge between technical and non-technical stakeholders, translating AI complexity into actionable strategy and holding teams accountable for delivery
Requirements

- Tenacious delivery mindset: you prefer "deployed and iterative" over "perfect and delayed," and you hold yourself and others accountable for results
- Strategic thinker who can operate across the entire business, influencing senior stakeholders and driving adoption without direct authority
- Empathetic leader who can move teams away from legacy manual processes, building trust and driving change through influence, not force
