AI Consulting Manager
London or Manchester | Hybrid | £90,000 + Bonus
Most AI consultancies can tell clients what's possible. Very few can actually build it.
We're working with a fast-growing Transformation Consultancy that's investing heavily in its AI & Data capability and is looking for an AI Consulting Manager to help lead the next phase of growth.
This isn't a traditional consulting role.
We're looking for someone who can move comfortably between client boardrooms and technical delivery. Someone who can challenge executives on business outcomes, shape AI strategy, and then roll their sleeves up to build, test and demonstrate solutions that bring those ideas to life.
You'll join a small but ambitious team with significant backing, genuine autonomy and the opportunity to help shape a growing AI practice from the ground up.
What you'll be doing
- Leading AI and data engagements from discovery through delivery
- Working directly with senior client stakeholders to identify high-value use cases
- Designing and building MVPs, proofs of concept and AI-powered products that demonstrate business value
- Creating rapid prototypes using modern AI tooling, cloud platforms and engineering best practices
- Helping clients evaluate and implement GenAI, agentic AI and machine learning solutions
- Working closely with engineers, architects and data specialists to take ideas into production
- Supporting the growth of the wider AI & Data capability as new consultants and engineers join the team
- Contributing to new propositions, client opportunities and practice development
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we're looking for
- Experience within consulting, advisory or client-facing technology environments
- A strong understanding of modern AI technologies, LLMs and emerging AI ecosystems
- Hands-on experience building solutions, products or applications rather than simply consuming AI tools
- Familiarity with cloud-native environments such as Azure or AWS
- Appreciation of modern engineering practices including APIs, containers, CI/CD and software delivery pipelines
- Understanding of solution architecture and how AI, data and application components fit together
- Ability to engage confidently with senior stakeholders and translate technical concepts into business outcomes
- Comfortable operating in fast-moving environments where ambiguity is part of the challenge
- Naturally curious, commercially minded and excited by emerging technology
You'll likely enjoy this role if you...
- Like building as much as advising, and enjoy seeing ideas become working solutions
- Are comfortable moving between executive stakeholder conversations and hands-on technical delivery
- Enjoy experimenting with emerging AI technologies and finding practical ways to apply them
- Take satisfaction from turning complex technical concepts into measurable business outcomes
- Prefer entrepreneurial environments where you can influence direction and make an immediate impact
- Enjoy working with talented engineers, architects and consultants to solve difficult problems
- Want to help shape and grow an AI capability rather than joining a large, established machine
