Senior Manager, AI Programme Delivery Lead, AI Scaling and Transformation, Engineering, AI & Data, T in London

Do you want to lead the delivery of AI & Data programmes that are shaping the future of Central Government? Technology & Transformation: across Central Government, organisations are under increasing pressure to deliver efficient, citizen-centric services while maintaining the highest standards of security, accountability and regulatory compliance. AI and Generative AI have the potential to transform how government operates - from policy development through to service delivery - but require careful orchestration, governance and delivery discipline to succeed in complex, secure environments.

That is exactly what you will help our clients to achieve. You will lead large-scale AI programmes that move beyond experimentation, ensuring solutions are delivered reliably, securely and at scale - driving measurable outcomes for departments, agencies and the public.

We are seeking to hire experienced AI Programme Delivery Leads within our AI Scaling and Transformation team, a centre of excellence in Deloitte's Engineering, AI & Data service offering. You will work with senior client stakeholders, third parties and Deloitte teams across the Firm to lead the delivery of complex AI and data programmes in Central Government. This is a Senior Manager role where you will be responsible for programme leadership, governance and successful execution across multiple workstreams in highly regulated and secure environments.

As an AI Programme Delivery Lead, you will play a critical role in delivering transformation at scale. In this role, you may be expected to:

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of AI and data programmes, ensuring alignment to client objectives, governance requirements and delivery commitments.
• Establish and manage programme governance structures, including RAID management, reporting, controls and assurance processes across multiple workstreams.
• Engage senior client stakeholders to align priorities, manage expectations and provide clear visibility of progress, risks and delivery outcomes.
• Coordinate multidisciplinary teams, including engineers, data scientists, architects and business analysts, to ensure integrated and effective delivery.
• Drive delivery planning, resource management and dependency management across complex, multi-vendor environments.
• Ensure AI solutions are delivered in line with security, privacy, regulatory and responsible AI frameworks applicable to Central Government.
• Oversee delivery quality and performance, proactively managing risks, resolving issues and ensuring successful programme outcomes.

We are looking for candidates who are able to demonstrate skills and experience in some of the following:

• Degree or equivalent experience in a relevant discipline such as Computer Science, Engineering, Data, Business or Public Policy.
• Significant experience leading the delivery of large-scale technology, data or AI programmes within consulting, public sector or enterprise environments.
• Proven track record of managing complex delivery across multiple workstreams, teams and stakeholders, with accountability for outcomes.
• Experience working within Central Government or similarly regulated environments; candidates must be eligible and willing to obtain or hold security clearance.
• Strong experience engaging and influencing senior stakeholders, translating strategic objectives into executable delivery plans.

• Strong understanding of AI, data and digital delivery lifecycles, including development, deployment and scaling of AI solutions.
• Proven expertise in programme governance, including RAID management, planning, reporting, assurance and risk mitigation.
• Experience managing delivery in agile and hybrid delivery environments, balancing commercial, technical and operational considerations.
• Understanding of security, privacy and responsible AI requirements within public sector or regulated environments.
• Ability to manage complex dependencies, suppliers and delivery teams across large transformation programmes.
• Excellent leadership, communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence senior decision-makers and drive delivery outcomes.
