Data & AI are the engine driving transformation across our customer base. We are seeking a strategic technical leader to collaborate with our most significant, complex enterprise customers to accelerate that transformation across the UK & Ireland.

What it asks for · 7

Enterprise Architecture: Experience influencing technology change at a global-scale enterprise level, with a particular focus on Data & AI strategy and implementation.
Commercial Awareness: Deep appreciation of customer and vendor commercial motivations and sales cycles.
Market Familiarity: Understanding and experience of key Data & AI technology market players, including the major hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP) and key ISVs.
Builder Mentality: A bias towards “showing” rather than “telling”, preferring to inspire stakeholders through built examples.
Technical Expertise: Deep experience in core data & AI technologies, including languages (Python, SQL), frameworks (Apache Spark) and platforms (Databricks, etc.)
Collaboration: You can orchestrate diverse teams to achieve a common goal and explain complex tech to non-technical leaders.
Travel: This role requires travel to customer sites in the UK and London offices (approx. 20-30%). We support flexible scheduling to help manage this travel alongside your personal life.
