We’re working with a growing data & AI practice looking for someone to lead the next phase of their AI engineering capability.

What you’d be doing:
- Leading and developing a high-performing AI engineering team
- Setting engineering standards and ensuring quality across multiple client engagements
- Translating complex AI concepts into clear, practical direction for business and technical audiences
- Architecting and delivering production-grade AI solutions (ML + newer generative/agent-based approaches)
- Acting as a trusted advisor in shaping AI roadmaps, solution design, and delivery approaches
What matters for this role:
- Strong experience taking AI/ML solutions into production environments
- Solid engineering foundations (Python and modern data/ML ecosystems)
- Familiarity with cloud-based AI platforms and scalable data systems
- Experience with deployment practices (automation, monitoring, reliability, etc.)
- Ability to operate in ambiguity and guide decision-making with structure and clarity
This is a client-facing leadership role suited to someone who enjoys building teams, shaping solutions, and staying close to emerging AI capabilities.
