This is an opportunity to step into a leadership role where you can shape an AI‑first product from the ground up. If you enjoy being both hands‑on and strategic, and you want to build an AI capability that delivers real customer impact, this role offers the perfect platform.

The Company

They are a growing technology provider developing advanced AI products that support enterprise‑level telecoms organisations. Having spent the past year building a next‑generation virtual sales assistant powered by genAI, they are now scaling into a fully AI‑first business. Their data function is well established, highly collaborative, and ready for a leader who can elevate their technical direction and AI maturity.

The Role

You will:
* Lead a team of Data Scientists and Machine Learning Engineers while remaining hands‑on in development.
* Shape the AI roadmap across classic ML, genAI and emerging agentic approaches.
* Build and optimise full‑stack AI solutions that integrate smoothly into customer environments.
* Drive delivery best practices, including model evaluation, deployment processes and experimentation.
* Engage with enterprise customers to understand challenges and help shape product direction.
* Champion a culture of learning, technical excellence and customer‑focused innovation.

Your Skills and Experience

You will bring:
* Strong commercial experience building and deploying AI or ML‑driven products.
* Hands‑on technical skills in Python and modern ML frameworks.
* Practical experience with cloud environments, ideally AWS.
* Exposure to deployment tools such as Docker or Kubernetes, or a willingness to develop in this area.
* Proven ability to lead, coach and develop technical team members.
* Comfort working in both strategic and hands‑on capacities.
* Experience engaging with external stakeholders in enterprise settings.
* Ability to work onsite in Brighton one day per week.
* Please note that sponsorship is not available.

What They Offer

* Competitive base salary.
* Equity package with significant upside potential.
* A genuine leadership step‑up and the chance to build an AI capability almost from scratch.
* Impact on a product used by major enterprise brands.
* Hybrid working and a collaborative, high‑growth culture.
