The Opportunity
VANRATH is partnering with a leading global organisation to appoint an AI Innovation Manager for a newly established Enterprise Innovation Lab. This is a hands-on role for someone from a strong consulting background who enjoys turning ambiguous business challenges into practical AI solutions. You’ll work in a small, autonomous team, rapidly developing prototypes and testing new technology against real commercial use cases.
What You’ll Do
- Identify valuable AI and automation opportunities across Commercial and Operations.
- Turn loosely defined problems into clear, deliverable use cases.
- Build and test AI prototypes, agents and automations at pace.
- Use AI-led development approaches to accelerate delivery.
- Measure each pilot against commercial outcomes such as revenue, cost, risk and efficiency.
- Evaluate emerging tools and recommend which solutions should progress into production.
- Present demonstrations, results and recommendations to senior stakeholders.
About You
- Consulting experience from a leading strategy, management or technology consultancy.
- Comfortable with ambiguity, short engagements and demanding delivery expectations.
- Recent hands-on experience building AI-enabled solutions, prototypes or automations.
- Strong first-principles problem-solving and presentation skills.
- Commercially minded, with the ability to communicate technical ideas clearly.
- Curious, self-sufficient and genuinely interested in emerging AI technology.
- Experience with technologies such as Agentforce, AWS Bedrock, Microsoft Copilot, Databricks, Snowflake, Cursor or comparable platforms would be beneficial.
This opportunity would suit a modern, delivery-focused consultant who wants to remain close to new tools and technology—not someone focused primarily on large transformation programmes or executive-level strategy.
