• Lead delivery of techUK's flagship AI activity - reports, insight series, roundtables, dinners, focus weeks and summits - including writing the agenda, booking speakers and securing sponsors for techUK's annual AI conference each January.
• Track the AI adoption debate closely, building close ties with the AI community and turning insight into a calendar of high-impact activity.
• Champion the programme externally through articles, speaking engagements and networking.
• Work across techUK's Markets and Policy teams so our AI adoption narrative stays consistent and well promoted.
• Grow techUK's AI membership base, helping identify and recruit new members and spot new business opportunities.
