Group Head of AI and Automation

Salary: Significant six-figure base/package

Role

This role has the perfect balance between greenfield (opportunity to shape/own) coupled with backing of an experienced board (working with an end-user, that are PE backed by on the largest tech focused funds globally).

Here, you will be tasked with creating and executing a centralised strategy from scratch, in a group organisation which has huge appetite for adoption. There are pockets of exciting AI/Automation work being done across various countries and business divisions, but nothing at a centralised group level. The remit will cover everything from value creation, to AI governance and building a new team.

Role is focused on roadmap and operating model definition, and ensuring value-creation and efficiency through AI and Automation.

Please note – this isn’t a technical role, we’re not looking for a technical IC. This is a leadership/commercial role, and someone with practical experience of leveraging AI and Automation to create efficiency or business value

The type of questions we\’d like someone to be able to answer:

• What AI and Automation strategies have you created and implemented in large, complex commercial environments?
• How do you realise measurable commercial value from investments in AI/Automation?
• How do you establish robust governance and risk management in a strategy?
• How would you align a AI and Automation strategy with enterprise business goals.
• How would you create an aligned, centralised AI & Automation strategy in a company which has many federated divisions.
• How would you go about identifying both value creation and business efficiency opportunities?

This is truly an amazing opportunity for someone to own this remit in an environment with a huge amount of excitement, buy-in and investment – with a 3 year PE cycle ahead to create momentum.

Remote, we can consider candidates anywhere in the UK, Ireland, and potentially Scandinavia.

Very strong salary and package, which can be negotiated to attract the right leader in to this key role.
