Head of Technology & AI - Exclusive Opportunity
We're exclusively partnering with a high-growth consultancy to appoint a Head of Technology & AI. This is a rare opportunity to join a business at an exciting stage of its growth, where technology, data and AI are becoming central to both its internal operations and client offering. Instead, we're looking for a strategic technology leader who can define the technology vision, drive AI adoption and help build scalable products and platforms that create genuine commercial value.
The Opportunity
Reporting into the Director, you'll become one of the organisation's most senior technology leaders, responsible for shaping and delivering its Technology & AI strategy. Working closely with the executive team, you'll identify how technology and AI can improve the way the business operates, enhance client delivery and support the development of innovative, technology-enabled products. The business has already invested in enterprise AI tools and governance. The next step is bringing in someone who can turn those foundations into practical solutions that improve efficiency, create new revenue opportunities and support long-term growth.
