Are you an AI Engineering leader ready to shape the future of enterprise-scale AI delivery while building and leading high-performing teams?

As Head of AI Engineering, you’ll lead and grow the AI Engineering capability across our Data & AI Practice. You’ll play a key role in shaping the future of how we deliver AI solutions, working closely with senior leadership to drive excellence across engineering, delivery, and innovation. This is a highly visible leadership position where you’ll balance hands-on technical leadership with strategic oversight, helping clients solve complex challenges using cutting-edge AI approaches.

What you'll be doing:

  • Leading, developing, and growing the AI Engineering capability, building a high-performing team through recruitment, coaching, and mentoring.
  • Owning technical delivery excellence across AI and GenAI engagements, ensuring quality, scalability, security, and customer satisfaction.
  • Establishing engineering standards, delivery methodologies, tooling, and best practices across AI Engineering, MLOps, LLMOps, DevSecOps, and cloud-native delivery.
  • Providing technical leadership and governance on complex programmes, supporting delivery assurance, technical risk management, and recovery where needed.
  • Partnering with the Practice CTO and solutioning teams to support bids, proposals, and client engagements, including shaping technical approaches and estimates.
  • Acting as a recognised thought leader, representing the practice in client forums, industry events, and contributing to market propositions and innovation.

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.
