AI Systems Lead
London / Remote
Most AI projects don't fail because the technology is wrong. They fail because the operating model is missing.

Status
Open
You currently work inside a mid-sized business — in digital, operations, or transformation — and you've been the person trying to push AI adoption further than anyone else had the appetite for. You know where the friction lives. You know what a real implementation looks like versus a demo. And you're wondering what's next.
We're autotelica — a small team building AI operating systems inside companies. Not pilots. Not proof-of-concepts. Production systems that change how work actually gets done: workflows, decision layers, automation, knowledge infrastructure.
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.
We're growing, and we're looking for someone who's been close to this problem from the inside — and is ready to be on the side that solves it.
The role sits at the intersection of client work and product thinking. You'd lead systems deployments with clients — running discovery, designing workflows, building with our tooling — while feeding back into how we shape what we build next.
What we're looking for
- Experience running digital or AI programmes inside a business, not just advising on them
- Comfortable owning outcomes, not just deliverables
- Understands operations — how things actually get done inside companies
- Can hold a room with a COO or Head of Digital, and roll up their sleeves the same day
- Interested in early-stage: opinionated, hungry, and fine with building as you go

Stage
Early. You'd shape what this function becomes.
We're a small team and this is a considered hire. We'd rather talk to five right people than fifty wrong ones.
If your day job has you quietly building the case for something bigger — we'd like to talk.
