London | Reporting into the Director of Technology
About the opportunityA large, global EdTech business (25+ years in the space, operating internationally) is looking for an AI Operator to help it get properly hands‑on with AI. Not to write a strategy deck, but to actually build and ship the things that move the needle.
This is a rare seat: an established, global business that's decided it wants to operate with the speed and instincts of an AI‑native startup. You'll be working directly with senior stakeholders across Sales, Growth Marketing and E‑commerce.
What you’ll actually be doing- Building and shipping practical AI tools across the business, from an AI shop assistant via Salesforce Agentforce, to fixing fragmented, legacy systems that don’t talk to each other
- Supporting full‑stack / web development, CMS, UI/UX and systems integration work (Salesforce, Zapier, Mar Tech and BI stack)
- Getting hands‑on with data cleaning and data manipulation to unlock efficiencies across a complex back‑end
- Reviewing and quality‑checking AI‑generated code and output, technical enough to know when something’s about to break in production
- Prioritising a live shopping list of initiatives set by the business (not deciding your own roadmap in isolation, you’ll execute against agreed priorities, while still being expected to challenge where necessary)
- Working closely with two senior stakeholders from day one, with a light‑touch connection into a separate, related platform business
- A genuine generalist: comfortable moving between AI applications (chatbots, agentic workflows, image/content tooling, integrations)
- Technical enough to self‑start, take a project end‑to‑end, and sanity‑check AI‑generated work, even if you’re not writing code day‑to‑day anymore
- Strong business acumen, able to connect technical work to commercial outcomes
- A "get it done" mentality over a "let’s strategise" one.
- Comfortable working with senior stakeholders in a flat, informal, low‑ego, highly international culture; confidence without ego is a hard requirement
- London‑based
You’ll be one of the first people shaping what "AI operator" means inside a large, established business, with real autonomy to build, real stakeholder access, and a clear mandate from senior sponsors to just get things done.
