Do you want to lead AI at the core of a truly AI‑native business building the next generation of virtual sales assistants?

A company where GenAI isn’t a buzzword, it powers everything from 24/7 Product Experts to intelligent agents guiding customers through complex purchasing journeys across any channel?

This is that opportunity, reporting directly into the CTO, you’ll head up the AI function, leading a team of Data Scientists and Machine Learning Engineers while remaining hands-on in shaping and delivering cutting‑edge AI products. This business is solving real customer problems with Agentic AI, optimised RAG pipelines and state-of-the-art GenAI approaches, and they need a senior AI leader to take ownership of strategy, execution and impact.

Joining, you’ll:
  • Own and evolve the company’s AI strategy
  • Influence how Agentic and GenAI technologies are used to drive commercial growth
  • Lead from the front, balancing leadership with hands‑on technical delivery
  • Build, mentor and inspire a high‑performing AI team
  • Work cross-functionally to rapidly validate ideas and ship value fast
  • Drive delivery velocity through ambiguity, experimentation and learning
You’ll bring:
  • Proven experience leading AI teams delivering commercial products
  • Deep GenAI and classical ML expertise
  • Hands-on experience with Agentic AI, evaluation frameworks, RAG and prompt engineering
  • Strong Python skills (PyTorch, scikit-learn, modern ML frameworks)
  • A commercial mindset, balancing tech investment with customer value
  • The credibility to lead technically and influence at exec level
Desirable but not essential:
  • Strong AWS, containerisation and MLOps knowledge
  • Confidence engaging directly with customers and enterprise stakeholders
Hybrid role - minimum once per week onsite in Brighton.

If you want to sit at the heart of an AI-first business, shape real products and lead AI that actually ships, this is the one.
