Job Description

What you’ll do

With us, you can lead the AI transformation that shapes the future of our business.

• In this role, you’ll be the driving force behind our AI strategy, working across every department to uncover opportunities where artificial intelligence can truly make a difference. You’ll collaborate with leaders in Finance, HR, Operations, Sales, and beyond to map processes, identify inefficiencies, and design solutions that deliver measurable impact.
  Your mission will be to analyse workflows and data flows, pinpoint pain points, and propose AI-driven enhancements—whether through automation, predictive analytics, natural language processing, or intelligent decision support. You’ll build compelling business cases that demonstrate ROI, feasibility, and risk mitigation, ensuring every initiative aligns with our strategic goals.
• As a trusted advisor, you’ll engage stakeholders through workshops and interviews, fostering buy-in and inspiring confidence in AI’s potential. You’ll champion data integrity and compliance, ensuring that every solution meets the highest standards. Beyond delivery, you’ll stay ahead of industry trends, sharing best practices and shaping frameworks, tools, and templates that enable scalable AI adoption.
• This is a role for a visible leader—someone who can navigate ambiguity, drive clarity, and influence change in a fast-paced environment. You’ll not only deliver projects on time and on budget but also track benefit realisation, ensuring that every initiative creates tangible business value. Your work will transform how we operate today and set the foundation for a smarter, more innovative tomorrow.
