  • Translating complex technical findings into clear business recommendations for executive and C-suite stakeholders
  • Managing implementation risks, delivery timelines, and dependencies across multiple teams
  • Driving user adoption, documentation, operational readiness, and long-term success
  • Partnering closely with Product Managers to influence future product capabilities and roadmap decisions
  • Operating effectively in fast-moving environments where priorities and requirements evolve

Your Skills & Experience

  • Strong commercial experience within consulting, solution delivery, implementation, analytics, data engineering, data science, or technical programme leadership
  • Proven experience delivering complex software, AI, analytics, automation, or digital transformation projects from concept to production
  • Strong client-facing communication skills with the ability to engage technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Experience translating ambiguous business problems into practical technical solutions
  • Hands-on technical capability across data, analytics, integrations, APIs, or modern software environments
  • Ability to communicate technical concepts, trade-offs, and recommendations to senior stakeholders
  • Demonstrated ownership, initiative, and a track record of driving outcomes independently
  • Comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and maintaining delivery momentum

Preferred backgrounds include:

  • Management or technology consulting
  • AI, analytics, software implementation, or digital transformation environments
  • MarTech, AdTech, SaaS, or data-intensive technology businesses
  • Forward Deployed Engineering, Solutions Architecture, Technical Consulting, Technical Programme Management, or Implementation Consulting

What They Offer

  • High level of ownership and influence within a rapidly growing AI business
  • Exposure to cutting-edge AI technologies and real-world enterprise deployments
