Senior AI Consultant in England

We want to help you put your best foot forward. Here are a few things we look for:

• Clear, specific examples of your leadership, client impact and technical delivery
• Relevant experience aligned with the seniority, consultancy focus and technical scope of the role
• A thoughtful response to any application questions
• A CV that highlights both what you did and why it mattered

If you are unsure whether your background is the “perfect fit,” we still encourage you to apply. We value potential and growth, alongside proven experience.

Why this role exists… We are preparing for growth driven by upcoming projects with multiple key clients. While details are still being finalised, we know they will require senior AI talent with depth across traditional machine learning, data science and Gen AI. We are looking for someone who can operate quickly, lead confidently and build robust, production-ready solutions. We are proactively expanding our team with a Senior AI Consultant who can shape complex work, guide delivery teams and act as a trusted adviser to clients.

What you'll be doing… You will shape and deliver AI solutions for real-world business problems, spanning traditional machine learning, rigorous data science and practical Gen AI use cases. You will work with a small, highly capable AI team, collaborating with data engineers, consultants, technical leads and senior client stakeholders to deliver meaningful outcomes. Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading the design, build and iteration of machine learning and data science models to solve complex business challenges
• Identifying and shaping Gen AI opportunities, including LLM-based workflows, agentic systems and applied AI prototypes where they add measurable value
• Providing technical direction, code quality oversight and delivery guidance across shared repositories and client-facing work
• Managing client stakeholders, presenting recommendations clearly and translating technical outputs into practical decisions and actions

In your first 3 to 6 months, success might look like:

• Taking ownership of ambiguous or novel technical challenges and setting a clear delivery approach for the team
• Delivering high-quality traditional ML, data science and Gen AI solutions that align with client needs
• Communicating confidently with senior stakeholders about technical decisions, trade-offs, risks and results
• Becoming a trusted partner to clients and colleagues within a lean, fast-moving team that relies on autonomy, judgement and critical thinking

What you'll need to succeed... We are looking for someone who brings a thoughtful mix of senior technical expertise, consultancy experience, client leadership, team management, rigour and communication strength. You might be a great fit if you have:

• 5+ years of relevant experience delivering AI, ML or data science solutions end-to-end, ideally in a consulting environment
• Strong expertise in traditional machine learning and data science, including forecasting, segmentation, optimisation, classification or similar techniques
• Strong practical experience with Gen AI, including LLMs, RAG, agentic workflows, prompt evaluation, model selection or production implementation
• At least 3 years’ experience managing client relationships and leading, mentoring or managing a technical team
• A strong mathematics or quantitative background, with solid programming skills in Python, SQL and Snowflake
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts clearly and confidently to technical, non-technical and senior client audiences

Nice-to-have:

• Experience shaping proposals, statements of work, roadmaps or discovery phases within a consultancy setting
• Experience building neural networks, transformers, LLM-based architectures or production AI platforms

This role might not be the right fit if you’re looking for:

• A highly structured corporate environment with clearly defined processes, as we are lean, fast and self-driven
• A fully remote role - regular in-office collaboration in Bristol is required and highly valued by the team
• A role focused only on Gen AI; this position requires strong capability across both traditional machine learning and Gen AI
