Lead AI & Data Scientist
London/ Hybrid | up to £140k + Benefits
Most data leadership roles sit at one end of the spectrum. Either highly technical, buried in models and architecture, or heavily stakeholder-focused with little involvement in the actual delivery.
This role sits in the middle (or both). They need your skills in a client and stakeholder facing, upwards and downwards management and technical understanding.
You'll lead a growing Data science function responsible for delivering real-world AI, machine learning and data science solutions across a complex professional services environment. The challenge is not simply building models. It's understanding business problems, translating them into practical solutions, and helping senior stakeholders understand exactly how technology can create value.
The team is already delivering across machine learning, GenAI, document intelligence, search, retrieval, automation and knowledge management. The next phase involves expanding AI capability, shaping a longer-term roadmap around emerging technologies such as Agentic AI, and driving adoption across the wider business.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading a team of Data Scientists and AI specialists
- Defining Data & AI strategy and technical direction
- Designing and delivering Machine Learning, NLP, GenAI and RAG-based solutions
- Working directly with senior business stakeholders and clients
- Translating complex technical concepts into clear business language
- Driving delivery of AI products from concept through to production
- Establishing governance, evaluation frameworks and responsible AI controls
- Coaching and mentoring technical teams while remaining hands-on when required
To be successful, you'll need a strong background in Data Science, Machine Learning and modern AI technologies, combined with the communication skills to operate confidently from technical workshops through to executive-level discussions.
If you can articulate complex AI concepts in 30 seconds, influence stakeholders at every level, and lead a team focused on solving difficult business problems with data – please apply.
An opportunity to help shape the future direction of AI within a business that is investing heavily in the technology, in a disruptive industry and determined to stay ahead of the curve.

AI Architect

Remote (UK) | Occasional Client Travel
Shape the Future of Enterprise AI
Most organisations are still talking about AI.
This consultancy is delivering it.
We're looking for an AI Architect who can bridge the gap between possibility and production, someone who understands that successful AI isn't just about the latest model, but about building secure, scalable, governed solutions that create genuine business value.
Joining a rapidly expanding AI practice within a global technology consultancy, you'll play a pivotal role in defining how some of the UK's largest organisations adopt and scale AI. From Generative AI and autonomous agents to machine learning and enterprise data platforms, you'll be at the forefront of designing solutions that move beyond proof-of-concepts into real-world impact.
This is an opportunity to influence strategy, shape architecture standards, guide technical delivery teams, and work directly with senior stakeholders who are investing heavily in AI transformation.
If you're looking for a role where you'll simply review diagrams and attend governance meetings, this isn't it.
If you want to help define the future of enterprise AI while remaining close enough to the technology to influence how it's built, read on.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll own the end-to-end architecture of complex AI solutions, working across discovery, design, implementation and scale.
You'll:
- Lead the architecture of enterprise AI, Generative AI and Machine Learning solutions
- Design intelligent agent frameworks and next-generation AI-powered applications
- Define AI governance, security and Responsible AI standards
- Advise executive stakeholders on AI strategy, feasibility and investment decisions
- Support major client engagements from early discovery through to production deployment
- Create reusable frameworks, accelerators and reference architectures
- Guide engineering teams and provide technical leadership across multiple programmes
- Help shape the future direction of a growing AI consulting practice
The Technology Landscape
You'll be working across a modern Microsoft-centric ecosystem including:
- Azure AI Services
- Microsoft AI platforms and tooling
- Copilot Studio
- Power Platform
- Enterprise Data Platforms
- Semantic Kernel
- LangChain
- Microsoft Agent Framework
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
- LLM-powered applications and intelligent agents
- MLOps, LLMOps and Cloud Native Architectures
What we're Looking For
You're likely already operating as an AI Architect, Lead AI Consultant, Principal Data Scientist, Principal AI Engineer or similar.
You'll bring:
- Significant experience delivering AI solutions within complex enterprise environments
- Strong expertise across both Generative AI and traditional Machine Learning
- Experience taking AI products from concept to production and ongoing operation
- Deep understanding of LLM architectures, RAG patterns and agent-based solutions
- Strong Azure and Microsoft ecosystem knowledge
- Experience designing secure, scalable and governed AI platforms
- Consulting experience with the ability to engage technical and non-technical stakeholders alike
- The credibility to influence senior leaders and the technical depth to support delivery teams
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
AI is not a side offering here.
It's a strategic growth area with significant investment, executive sponsorship and a strong pipeline of enterprise-scale transformation programmes.
You'll have the opportunity to:
- Work on genuinely complex AI challenges rather than isolated proof-of-concepts
- Influence AI strategy across major organisations
- Collaborate with some of the brightest AI, data and cloud specialists in the market
- Continue developing your expertise through certifications, training and innovation initiatives
- Enjoy the flexibility of remote working while remaining connected to a highly collaborative consulting culture
Additional Information
- Salary: £95,000 - £105,000
- Performance Bonus
- Comprehensive Benefits Package
- Remote Working (UK)
- Occasional Client Travel
- Must hold or be eligible for UK Security Clearance
The AI market is crowded with organisations experimenting, this opportunity is with a business that's already delivering.
If you're ready to architect AI solutions that operate at enterprise scale and shape the next generation of intelligent systems, we'd love to hear from you.
