AI Adoption and Learning Partner in London

We are looking for an AI Adoption and Learning Partner in our Talent & Culture Team. Funding Circle is on a journey to become an AI-native business. We believe AI is a core capability that helps us make better decisions and focus on high-impact work. We are looking for a creative and proactive Learning & Development professional to help our Circlers bridge the gap between AI potential and daily reality.

Who are we? We’re Funding Circle. We back small businesses to succeed. At Funding Circle, we believe the world needs small businesses. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to help them get the finance they need to grow. With more than a decade of expertise under our belt, we’ve built a game-changer of a platform with cutting-edge data and technology that’s reshaping the landscape of SME lending. Say goodbye to lengthy applications and hello to lightning-fast decisions! In just minutes, SMEs across the UK can get a decision, giving them access to competitive funding in a flash.

We know that good business is about good people. So we pride ourselves on providing meaningful, human support as well as fast, hassle-free processes to deliver an unbeatable customer experience.

The role:

• Design & Deliver AI Learning: Create engaging, multi-level training programs – from basic prompting to advanced tool integration – housed within our AI Fluency Hub.
• Drive Change Management: Support teams through the transition to AI-native workflows, helping them understand how their roles will evolve and addressing any barriers to adoption. Maintain and drive our GenAI Champions network.
• Evangelise AI Tools: Run Lunch & Learns, host office hours and workshops to showcase how tools like Gemini can be used effectively in Google Docs, Sheets and Slides.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner with “GenAI Champions” across the business to identify new use cases and share success stories in our Use Case Library.
• Human-Centric Adoption: Ensure our “Humans in the Loop” philosophy is maintained, teaching Circlers when to use AI and, crucially, when not to.

What we’re looking for:

• L&D Foundation: Proven experience in the full learning lifecycle – from training needs analysis to designing and delivering courses for diverse audiences.
• Change Management Mindset: You understand that technology adoption is 80% people and 20% tools. You are comfortable helping people navigate the ambiguity of a rapidly changing tech landscape.
• AI Curiosity: You don’t need to be a coder, but you must be an “AI-first” worker. You should have a deep passion for how GenAI can transform productivity and a willingness to stay at the forefront of AI developments.
• Communication: Ability to take complex AI concepts and make them accessible and exciting for non-technical colleagues.

At Funding Circle we are committed to building diverse teams so please apply even if your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with the requirements. We’re proud to be an equal-opportunity workplace and affirmative-action employer.

Why join us? At Funding Circle, we celebrate and support the differences that make you, you. We’re proud to be an equal-opportunity workplace and affirmative-action employer. We truly believe that diversity makes us better.

As a flexible-first employer we offer hybrid working at Funding Circle, and we’ve long believed in a 'best of both' approach to in-office collaboration and non-office days. We expect our teams to be in our London office three times a week, where you can take advantage of our newly refurbished hybrid working space, barista-made coffee and subsidised lunches (via JustEat) every day!
