Lead Consultant, AI adoption

Do you want to be at the forefront of advising some of the most exciting purpose-driven organisations in the responsible adoption of AI technologies? Do you care about getting AI adoption right for individuals, organisations and society? If you have the credibility and confidence to facilitate C-suite and leadership teams from organisations of all shapes and sizes to understand and navigate the complex change that AI technologies are bringing, we are seeking a lead consultant to join AIConfident.

Who you are

• Critical: A growth mindset and getting stuck in across the business is key for us at AIConfident, but we need you to have the senior experience and confidence to hit the ground running with C-suite and leadership teams.
• Essential: Experienced strategic advisor but we are open-minded about your background - it could be senior leader in a purpose-led business/B-corp or charity, consulting or AI or digital transformation. What matters is your credibility and track record of leading through change, managing relationships and delivering results. You will have ideally led AI adoption within an organisation or from an advisory/consulting perspective. Genuine knowledge and curiosity about AI technologies and their societal implications. You don’t need to be a technical expert, but you will love learning and care about responsible use of AI technologies and our role in shaping technology and society. Natural communicator with executive presence. You can make complex topics accessible and engaging for senior, non-technical audiences. You are a natural at facilitating workshops and comfortable adapting your communication style - whether you are coaching a leadership team on their first steps with AI or discussing the strategic implications for AI on their organisation. Comfortable looking after the commercial side of relationships. You’ll make sure our current clients are thriving, while naturally helping them with new needs as their AI journey evolves. You’ll have a track record of spotting new commercial opportunities to win new business. Self-starter who thrives with autonomy and can manage multiple client projects simultaneously. You’ll be comfortable working with digital tools in a safe and responsible way. Aligned with our mission and values - you want your work to create positive change and will champion our values publicly.
• Desirable: A solid understanding of organisational change management or corporate governance. We don’t expect you to be an expert in AI governance already, but we do expect you to educate yourself and become a trusted advisor. Experience in purpose driven businesses, third sector or public sector. Experience within a startup and comfortable working in ambiguity.

What you'll do

• Client delivery (45%): Lead client delivery, particularly for leadership strategy sessions. You’ll work with C-suite leaders of purpose-led businesses and not-for-profit organisations to navigate and explore three core areas: Long term strategic changes because of AI technologies; Short term operational improvements; The culture change to deliver this. Support clients with their AI governance: primarily this will be ensuring they have a proportionate AI policy in place, but may also include how they will govern agentic AI. We don’t expect you to have deep governance expertise before joining AIConfident, but you will learn this to provide high quality advice for our clients. Continually improve the delivery of strategy sessions to improve outcomes for clients and increase efficiencies for AIConfident. Expected line management, with this growing as the business scales. You will have the flexibility and skills to deliver other training sessions if required.
• Account management and client success (45%): Hold account management and commercial responsibility for a dedicated portfolio of clients. Oversee end-to-end project delivery, particularly for clients moving through our ‘Fundamentals’ package. You will bring in our specialist team and associates to run training, innovation sprints or governance sessions while you maintain the high-level client relationship. Responsible for the financial growth of your portfolio; you will retain existing clients, spot opportunities to do more work with them, and actively win new client accounts. You will own business development from supporting converting warm inbound enquiries into structured proposals and sales. Build deeply trusted, long-term relationships where senior stakeholders view you as their ongoing, proactive AI advisor.
• Company growth and thought leadership (10%): Identify growth opportunities within your portfolio to expand our footprint and deepen client impact. As a scaling start-up, you will get involved across the business when required. Contribute to AIConfident’s thought leadership and expertise though public speaking, articles or social media.
