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.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
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.
