Director of AI

Director of AI
London – 3 days a week on-site
Up to £170k + equity

Established applied AI company with a strong foothold in the space.
Opportunity to be one of the most influential figures in the business.
Highly technical role. 
My client has an impressive track record of delivering cutting edge AI products for customers across a range of industries. They’ve been in the ML/AI space for over a decade and some of the most talented people working for them.
 
This is your chance to lead some of the most interesting and high impact AI projects in the UK today.   
 
To be considered for the role, you’ll need to have a solid track record of delivering multi-million pound ML/AI projects. You’ll need to be someone that brings strong commercial acumen, and the ability to define and execute AI roadmaps and strategy.
 
Due to the technical nature of the role, we can only consider people who come from a machine learning engineer background. You’ll be working closely with engineers daily, so a strong foundation in ML engineering is essential. To lead effectively from the front, you’ll need hands-on experience designing, building, and deploying machine learning solutions.
 
It’s worth noting that there is a technical stage (system design) in the interview process.
 
If that fits your background, I urge you to apply as this is a genuinely excellent opportunity and one not to be missed.
 
Essential requirements:

Hands on ML engineering experience.
Experience deploying scalable cloud products in a public cloud SaaS environment.
Have built engineering teams and set a high bar of technical excellence.
Managed significant budgets.
Ability to juggle multiple high stake ML/AI projects at once.
Demonstrated leadership across strategy and delivery of AI/ML initiatives.
Adept at scoping projects with a commercial lens, optimising for both strategic value and technical feasibility. 
Bonus requirements:

Consultancy background.
Public sector experience. 
Benefits:

Base salary of up to £170k
Equity package.
Extensive annual leave entitlement.
Private health, dental and optical cover. 
Please note that this role requires you to be in the office three days a week (Zone 1). You will also need to obtain security clearance so you must have resided in the UK for the past 5 years with no more than 6 months out of the country at any one time.
