About QuantSpark
At QuantSpark, we’re transforming how data and AI serve society. We combine the analytical discipline of strategy consulting with the pace and ownership of a scale-up. That means you’ll work directly on the problems that matter most - whether combating economic crime, modernising government services, or accelerating commercial growth for FTSE 100 companies.
We're a (roughly) 50-person analytics and AI consultancy in London. Here, you’ll compress years of traditional career progression into 2-3 years. From day one, you'll own delivery end-to-end, work directly with senior leadership and clients including our CEO, and build cross-industry AI expertise fast, in a collaborative, autonomous and highly skilled team.
We deliver work through four capabilities:
- AiRE (AI Rollout Engine): embedding AI tools into how a business runs
- QuantSpark Labs: short, sharp engagements that prove or kill an idea fast
- QuantSpark Transform: consulting-led change to how a business makes decisions, using data, AI and software as the lever
- QuantSpark Forge: enterprise data and AI solutions, built and embedded to solve problems that come up again and again
The role
Please note: we're not able to offer visa sponsorship for this role, so you'll need to have full right to work in the UK.
This role will focus on AI transformation work - helping clients adopt and embed AI tools into how they operate. You'll move across a portfolio of client engagements focused on AI adoption and transformation, some short and exploratory, some longer and more complex. If you've got consulting experience, or you've owned external client relationships before, you'll feel at home fast.
You'll own the roadmap, run discovery, manage senior client relationships, and prototype directly using AI tools to validate ideas. We're looking for someone who can run delivery with autonomy today, who will hold a project team together day to day.
What you'll do
- Own client engagements end to end: From discovery through to a working solution
- Run structured discovery: Map the current process, work out what data can be trusted and get to the problem
- Prototype: Build functional rapid prototypes yourself to validate an idea before any engineering time gets committed
- Protect scope without overriding expertise. Push back on scope creep and unrealistic timelines, but design solutions that respect the judgement of the people who know the client's business best, rather than centralising every decision just because an AI system can.
- Present recommendations to senior stakeholders
- Partner with engineering: Own delivery, sprint planning and prioritisation, and understand the technical trade-offs well enough to have an informed opinion
- Make sure what gets built gets adopted
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'll need
- External client ownership: You've owned a client relationship (ideally in Consultancy)
- A solid understanding of AI: both in terms of being a builder yourself and understanding AI implementation at enterprise levels
- Comfort running short engagements: You can take a messy problem from first conversation to a working, tested solution inside a matter of weeks
- Confident, clear communication: You can hold a room of senior stakeholders and communicate with gravitas
- Consulting experience: This role is built around consulting-style delivery, so you'll need to have worked in a consulting (or similar) environment
- Comfort with pace and autonomy: You've thrived somewhere fast-moving and you tend to build the process you need rather than wait for someone to hand it to you
- Commercial acumen: You understand how a product decision affects a client's relationship with us
Useful, but not required
- Working knowledge of project tools like Jira, Monday or Confluence
- Comfort with SQL, or exposure to analytics tooling such as Google Analytics, Hotjar or Mixpanel-style platforms
- A product or project management qualification
- Experience with structured change management or adoption frameworks
