Solution Director - Ai in London

We’re on a mission to close the world’s tech skills gap.
We help organisations navigate the future of technology, combining human expertise, emerging tech and AI to deliver better outcomes, faster. Since 2014, we’ve worked side-by-side with clients to solve complex challenges, build high-performing teams, and create lasting capability. As technology continues to evolve, we believe the most successful organisations will be those that combine the best of both: human ingenuity AND intelligent technology.
That belief is embedded in everything we do. We call it the genius of the AND: deep expertise AND practical delivery, innovation AND responsibility, ambitious work AND sustainable careers.Through our Guide, Build and Equip approach, we help organisations embrace change, deliver meaningful impact, and develop the skills they need to thrive in an increasingly agentic world.
About you:
You care deeply about producing high-quality work that delivers real value.
You’re comfortable navigating ambiguity and solving complex problems collaboratively.
You bring strong expertise in your craft, alongside a willingness to keep learning.
You communicate clearly and build trust quickly with clients and teammates.
You’re pragmatic, adaptable and outcome-focused.
You enjoy sharing knowledge and helping others grow.
You value low-ego collaboration and enjoy working as part of multidisciplinary teams.
As a Director of AI Strategy and Innovation you will work with clients to design and deliver the meaningful changes needed to successfully assess, consult, recommend and accelerate their AI transformation. You will also be closely aligned to AND Digital’s AI, automation and intelligent systems practice, contributing and enhancing our AI transformation offer and taking those to market. You will be comfortable speaking publicly about AND’s AI-based ambitions, attending events and representing the business at networking opportunities.
As a result, you will need to be able to:
Manage a client engagement to deliver all aspects required through discussions with clients (not just following a specified statement of work).
Act as a trusted advisor to C-suite and Director-level stakeholders, influencing their AI strategy, organisational design, change or transformation plans to improve delivery and strategic execution.
Assess a client’s current state and work with them to envision their future in order to deliver on their AI ambitions and plot a path towards an AI-enabled future.
Design new ways of working, including how digital, data, AI operates alongside other business functions, and how those other functions can themselves become more technology-led.
Develop new and innovative thinking, creating programmes of work and consulting engagements that drive out business innovation and opportunities.
Lead the compilation of compelling commercial / business cases to help our clients understand the value AND and the proposed changes can bring to the business.
Transition organisations to new technology-led ways of working, through effective planning, communications and change management.
Work with AND colleagues to engage senior executives, both inside and outside of IT / Technology / Digital, to help their understanding of AI and the need for change.
Get ‘hands on’ with the work and produce the required outputs and outcomes.
Help grow the regional ‘Club’ as part of the Leadership team via internal initiatives such as proposition development, thought leadership and team engagement.
Apply a commercial mindset throughout engagements and support
