We are seeking a Director Consulting Expert – (Artificial Intelligence) to lead strategic transformation engagements across data modernisation, artificial intelligence, and advanced analytics. This senior leadership role calls for a leader who can combine executive presence with a collaborative, inclusive approach, bringing both strategic vision and hands-on expertise to guide meaningful outcomes.

You will enjoy flexible working, a supportive and inclusive culture, and the opportunity to contribute to a team where innovation, leadership, and growth are part of everyday work.

Your future duties and responsibilities:

  • Lead enterprise-scale AI and data transformation programs across strategy, architecture, governance, and delivery.
  • Partner with C-suite stakeholders to shape AI-driven business outcomes and long-term value.
  • Bring a hands-on, supportive approach to solution design, architecture validation, and delivery guidance.
  • Demonstrate authentic executive presence, building trust and influencing strategic conversations.
  • Develop and implement enterprise data and AI strategies, including governance and ethical AI frameworks.
  • Shape and deliver AI and ML initiatives, such as predictive analytics, generative AI adoption, automation, and intelligent decision support.
  • Build and scale AI offerings, including reusable frameworks and industry solutions.
  • Contribute to business growth through client engagement, opportunity shaping, and relationship building.
  • Mentor and uplift teams, fostering a collaborative, inclusive, and high-performing culture.

Required qualifications to be successful in this role:

  • Proven leadership in enterprise AI and data transformation programs.
  • Strong understanding of data architecture, engineering, governance, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Databricks, Snowflake, GCP).
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience in AI/ML solution design or implementation.
  • Expertise in AI technologies (machine learning, NLP, computer vision, GenAI).
  • Strong executive presence with the ability to influence and build trusted relationships.
  • Experience in developing and scaling consulting offerings and go-to-market solutions.
  • Excellent business development and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • Strong leadership, communication, and mentoring capabilities, with a focus on empowering others.
