About the Role
This is a newly created, strategically important role responsible for managing the full lifecycle of AI tools and business applications across the organisation. As AI adoption accelerates and programme-led application stacks continue to grow, this role provides the structure, governance, and expertise needed to evaluate, implement, configure, and sustain new tooling responsibly — balancing innovation with due diligence.
The AI & Applications Manager will act as the central point of coordination between the business, IT, Legal, Infosec, the DPO, and programme stakeholders including the AI adoption team — ensuring that every tool in the organisation’s portfolio has been properly assessed, approved, adopted in a controlled and compliant manner, and continues to deliver value in service.
Key Responsibilities
- Monitor and assess feature releases across AI platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini), with a focus on security, data handling, and data leakage risks
- Maintain a live register of all AI tools in use across the organisation, conducting ongoing reviews for compliance and fitness for purpose
- Lead proof-of-concept and pilot programmes, defining success criteria and managing the transition of approved tools from evaluation to production
- Own the evergreening programme for Buy applications, tracking vendor release cycles and coordinating testing, approval, and deployment of updates
- Act as the internal subject matter expert and first point of contact for all AI tool queries
- Translate business requirements into structured evaluation and procurement briefs, managing a formal intake process for all requests
- Lead cross-functional due diligence working with DPO, Infosec, Legal, and IT to ensure tools meet data, security, and contractual standards
- Monitor regulatory developments including the EU AI Act, UK AI Framework, and GDPR, assessing impact on tooling decisions
- Define and enforce acceptable use policies for AI tools across the organisation
- Contribute to the organisation's AI and technology roadmap, reporting to senior leadership on adoption progress, risks, and opportunities
- Benchmark the organisation's AI maturity against industry peers and best practice
- Manage the decommissioning of tools that are superseded, fail compliance, or no longer deliver value
