  • Experience with Chat GPT & Copilot, but also experience with other AI tools such as Claude etc.
  • The ability to engage and influence senior stakeholders across both technical and non-technical functions
  • Experience building business cases, evaluating technology options, and recommending appropriate solutions
  • Understanding of AI governance, risk, security, and responsible adoption practices
  • Leadership experience with the ability to guide specialist technical teams while maintaining a business-first focus
  • Experience managing AI engineers who will be hands on building ai tools and solutions

It would be a bonus if you have

  • Experience leading AI adoption programmes at enterprise scale
  • Data, analytics, or digital transformation leadership experience
