About the Role

We are looking for a Senior AI Transformation Manager who can bridge the gap between engineering, AI, project delivery and commercial growth. This is not a purely technical engineering role. We’re looking for someone who understands technology deeply but can also work confidently across different functions, bring multiple teams and stakeholders together, manage external AI partners, and translate complex technical capabilities into practical business solutions.

You will act as a project management engineer, taking ownership of AI transformation initiatives from initial concept through to implementation. You’ll work across teams including marketing, workforce and other business functions, ensuring AI solutions are aligned with business objectives and deliver measurable impact.

Alongside delivery, you will have a commercial presence, supporting client conversations, identifying opportunities and helping shape proposals and solutions that can win new business.

What You’ll Do

• Lead end-to-end AI transformation projects, from discovery and solution design through to implementation and optimisation.
• Work closely with engineering, product, marketing, workforce and other functional teams to identify opportunities where AI can improve processes, productivity and business outcomes.
• Translate business challenges into practical AI and technology solutions.
• Coordinate multiple internal teams, senior stakeholders and external AI/technology partners to ensure successful project delivery.
• Act as the key link between technical teams and business stakeholders, making complex technical concepts accessible and actionable.
• Manage project scope, timelines, priorities, dependencies, risks and deliverables.
• Evaluate and coordinate external AI partners, vendors and technology solutions where appropriate.
• Develop frameworks and processes for adopting and scaling AI across different business functions.
• Identify opportunities to automate workflows, improve efficiency and introduce new AI-enabled capabilities.
• Stay close to emerging AI technologies, tools and best practices, assessing their potential commercial and operational applications.
• Support client and prospect conversations, bringing technical credibility and commercial awareness to the discussion.
• Help identify new business opportunities and translate client challenges into AI transformation propositions.
• Work with commercial and leadership teams to develop proposals, solutions and pitches that demonstrate clear business value.
• Support the growth and expansion of existing client relationships through innovative AI solutions.
• Measure and communicate the impact of AI transformation initiatives through clear KPIs and business outcomes.
