Job Description:

Technical Director, AI Consulting 

London

£145,000-£160,000 base salary + bonus 

FIND have partnered with a global data & AI consultancy that is expanding rapidly in the UK. They're bringing in senior delivery leaders to head up AI programmes for major organisations across consumer, financial services and healthcare.

Our client keeps business development and delivery separate. Business Directors hold the sales targets, and Technical Directors are trusted to lead the work itself.

What does this mean for you?

• No sales targets; your responsibility is technical delivery
• Work directly with CIOs and their direct reports, as the senior technical voice in the room
• A horizontal remit across sectors rather than being tied to one industry
• UK teams with real autonomy in how they run
• Equity in a PE-backed business with ambitious growth plans
• A clear route to Partner, with strong performers making the step in 1 to 3 years

The role
This is a delivery leadership role with no sales target. Business development stays with the Business Directors, so the Technical Director can focus on getting complex AI work built and landed properly.

• Own delivery end to end, from technical design and build through testing and into production
• Be the senior technical voice with CIOs and their direct reports
• Shape how AI is deployed for clients, including where humans stay in the loop, what guardrails are needed and how it runs safely at scale
• Work across sectors, mainly consumer & retail, banking, FS & PE, and healthcare
• Help build a UK team that has real autonomy in how it runs

What are we looking for?

• A consulting background from a global SI, a boutique consultancy or a scale-up
• A track record running and delivering technology for senior stakeholders, ideally end to end
• Excellent hands-on understanding of how AI works under the hood, from harnesses to the probabilistic nature of models
• Strong software delivery lifecycle experience
• Experience handling unforeseen issues mid-delivery and still landing the outcome
• Exposure to client relationships at CIO / CxO-1 level
• Experience across sectors rather than a narrow specialism
