About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Take over and run the AI efficiency programme end to end, manage the cross-programme view and oversee individual workstreams.
  • Maintain the operating rhythm: regular initiative updates, periodic portfolio refreshes and executive reporting (including monthly Board updates).
  • Coordinate across Function Captains and workstream owners in Sales & Marketing, Finance and Customer Success, surfacing patterns, dependencies and risks.
  • Keep the programme disciplined and structured — clear ownership, sponsorship and progress tracking — rather than letting it fragment into ad hoc activity.
  • Run individual initiatives from idea to a working, adopted output — embedding AI into operational workflows, not just piloting it.
  • Partner with stakeholders across functions to translate operational problems into practical AI solutions.
  • Build and shape tools, collateral and supporting materials directly where needed.
  • Maintain a consistent way of measuring impact across different initiative types — project-based, adoption-based and capability-based.
  • Keep a shared impact measure that lets progress be aggregated and communicated at executive level, with a clear line to efficiency and productivity gains.
  • Coordinate and capture the broader efficiency gains from AI adoption across teams and tools.
  • Keep the portfolio visible and credible across the business.
  • Act as the link between the executive sponsor, delivery and operational teams.
  • Build trust and engagement across functions, working through influence rather than direct line management as the link between the executive sponsor, delivery and operational teams.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • 8-10 years+ in strategy, transformation or value creation — ideally from a top-tier strategy or transformation consultancy (MBB or comparable) and/or an in-house transformation role
  • A proven track record of embedding AI/tools into operational workflows and delivering measurable efficiency or productivity gains — not theoretical AI knowledge
  • Experience running a programme, portfolio or set of cross-functional initiatives, ideally taking on and maintaining something already in flight
  • Strong organisational and coordination skills, keeping multiple workstreams moving and visible
  • Comfort working hands-on — building tools, materials and analysis — as well as managing at programme level
  • Strong stakeholder management, with a track record of influencing across functions without direct authority
  • Clear, direct communication; credible with senior stakeholders, including at executive level.
  • Desirable: Experience in a PE-owned business and fluency with a value-creation agenda.
  • Desirable: Experience defining impact or value measurement for a portfolio of initiatives.
  • Desirable: Exposure to AI tooling and internal transformation work in a fast-moving environment where standards and tooling are still maturing.
