Do you want to lead AI at the core of a truly AI-native business building the next generation of virtual sales assistants?

A company where GenAI isn’t a buzzword, it powers everything from 24/7 Product Experts to intelligent agents guiding customers through complex purchasing journeys across any channel?

This is that opportunity, reporting directly into the CTO, you’ll head up the AI function, leading a team of Data Scientists and Machine Learning Engineers while remaining hands-on in shaping and delivering cutting-edge AI products. This business is solving real customer problems with Agentic AI, optimised RAG pipelines and state-of-the-art GenAI approaches, and they need a senior AI leader to take ownership of strategy, execution and impact.

*Influence how Agentic and GenAI technologies are used to drive commercial growth
*Lead from the front, balancing leadership with hands-on technical delivery
*Build, mentor and inspire a high-performing AI team
*Work cross-functionally to rapidly validate ideas and ship value fast
*Drive delivery velocity through ambiguity, experimentation and learning
You’ll bring:
*Proven experience leading AI teams delivering commercial products
*Deep GenAI and classical ML expertise
*Hands-on experience with Agentic AI, evaluation frameworks, RAG and prompt engineering
*Strong Python skills (PyTorch, scikit-learn, modern ML frameworks)
*A commercial mindset, balancing tech investment with customer value
*The credibility to lead technically and influence at exec level
Desirable but not essential:
*Strong AWS, containerisation and MLOps knowledge
*Confidence engaging directly with customers and enterprise stakeholders
Hybrid role - minimum once per week onsite in Brighton.

If you want to sit at the heart of an AI-first business, shape real products and lead AI that actually ships, this is the one.
