Titles matter less than what youve built and shipped.
?? This role may not be for you if
You mainly want to define AI strategy rather than implement solutions
You prefer research or experimentation over delivery
Youre looking for a programme- or people-management role
You need perfect data or conditions before starting
?? Why youll enjoy working here
You have real licence to build and deploy
Youre trusted to focus on value, not noise
You work in a small team that asks, How can we do this better than last time?
You help shape how a well-established organisation evolves
Your work is visible, useful and appreciated at all levels
?? If this sounds like you
You may already be doing parts of this role -but feeling constrained by slow decision-making or lack of mandate.
Here, youll have the space and support to do the work properly.
It wont always be easy, but it will be meaningful -and genuinely career-defining.
