We are looking for a Consultant / AI Portfolio Manager to support a global AI Centre of Excellence, helping shape business demand, prioritise high-value opportunities and ensure AI solutions are built once and reused effectively across multiple business areas. This is a strategic, client-facing role suited to someone with strong consulting discipline, enterprise business understanding and the ability to turn broad or ambiguous ideas into clearly scoped, commercially valuable AI initiatives.
Key Responsibilities:
- Manage a portfolio of AI initiatives, maintaining visibility of scope, dependencies, sequencing, risks and progress.
- Shape business demand by working with senior stakeholders to understand objectives, test opportunities and prioritise where AI can create measurable value.
- Identify duplication across initiatives and promote reuse of existing accelerators, frameworks and solution patterns.
- Support the governance of reusable AI assets, helping decide what should be reused, adapted, hardened or retired.
- Challenge loosely defined ideas and convert them into clearly scoped initiatives with quantified business outcomes.
- Support pre-sales, solutioning and business case development, ensuring proposals lead with value rather than technology alone.
- Quantify benefits such as revenue growth, cost reduction, productivity improvement, risk reduction and operational efficiency.
- Work across business, technology and operations teams to align stakeholders and build consensus.
- Ensure validated and approved use cases are handed over clearly to the delivery teams without loss of context.
Required Experience:
- 7–10 years’ experience in management consulting, strategy, digital transformation, pre-sales or portfolio/programme delivery.
- Proven ability to structure ambiguous business problems into clear, actionable initiatives.
- Experience shaping technology-enabled transformation, AI, automation or data-led opportunities.
- Portfolio or programme management experience across multi-workstream environments.
- Ability to work confidently with technical, operational and business teams.
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to produce clear, senior-facing outputs.
