AI Manager - Leeds in Wombwell

We're looking for an AI Manager to lead high-impact AI initiatives and drive the daily value realisation of Microsoft Copilot and other AI platforms across Lowell UK. This role converts strategy into measurable outcomes by prioritising use cases, managing AI products, and championing colleague adoption.

You'll develop playbooks and dashboards, lead enterprise-wide Copilot rollout, and act as Product Lead for key AI tools. Working within our AI frameworks, you'll ensure strong governance while building relationships across LFL, Overdales, UK Shared Services and the Centre of Excellence.

With proven experience delivering AI or data-enabled transformation in a regulated environment, you'll bring strong product leadership, excellent communication skills, and the ability to simplify complexity and uplift AI literacy across the organisation.

What we need from you:

• Undergraduate degree in business or a quantitative discipline (e.g., economics, mathematics, finance).
• Strong outcome focus with the ability to deliver measurable results at pace.
• Excellent critical thinking skills, comfortable with ambiguity and evidence-based decision-making.
• Proven ability to develop talent, build capability, and work effectively with stakeholders at all levels.
• Exceptional communication skills, able to simplify complexity and create compelling, engaging use cases.
• Highly curious and creative, with the ability to quickly learn, teach others, and apply new technical skills.

If you're excited about this role but don't meet every requirement - don't worry, still apply. Your unique perspective could be just what we're looking for.

What you'll get:

• A discretionary annual bonus to reward your impact.
• 3% flexible benefits that you can tailor to suit your lifestyle, whether that's extra cash, more holiday, or added health cover.
• Hybrid working for the best of both worlds - collaboration and focus.
• Free onsite parking, saving you time and money.
• Recharge and refresh opportunities with 28 days of holiday plus public holidays, and the option to buy up to five more - giving you more time for what matters most.
• Peace of mind with life assurance that supports your loved ones, no matter what.
• A culture that celebrates you and supports your wellbeing - with recognition awards, access to on-site gym facilities, and a variety of wellbeing initiatives offered throughout the year to help you stay balanced, resilient and feeling your best.
• Encouragement to be your authentic self at work by joining one of our vibrant employee networks - like Rise (Gender), Proud (LGBTQIA+), Culture, or Spark (Neurodiversity & Disability) - and connect with a community that celebrates and supports you.
