Artificial Intelligence is transforming how organisations operate - and this is your chance to help lead that change.

We're working with a forward-thinking digital consultancy that partners with major organisations across the UK to deliver cutting-edge AI solutions. They're expanding their AI Advisory practice and are looking for a Senior AI Consultant who can combine strong technical expertise with strategic thinking to help clients unlock real value from AI.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work on high-impact AI programmes, guiding organisations from early strategy through to practical implementation while shaping how AI is used responsibly and effectively.

- Leading client engagements focused on AI strategy, adoption and transformation
- Identifying opportunities where AI can deliver measurable business outcomes
- Designing and shaping intelligent solutions using modern AI technologies
- Advising senior stakeholders on how to embed AI into their organisations
- Collaborating with technical specialists to bring complex AI initiatives to life

- Contributing to the evolution of the organisation's AI capability and thought leadership
- Promoting responsible, ethical and transparent AI practices

What we're looking for

This role suits someone who enjoys combining consultancy, strategy and hands-on technical knowledge.

Experience delivering AI-driven initiatives in a client-facing or consulting environment

Strong understanding of modern AI ecosystems and platforms such as Microsoft, AWS, Google or OpenAI technologies

Practical exposure to Generative AI and large language model frameworks

Skills in data analysis and machine learning tooling (Python, SQL, R or similar)

Confidence engaging with senior stakeholders and translating technical concepts into clear business value

Experience contributing to proposals, presales or strategic client engagements

The ability to lead discussions, influence decisions and guide teams through delivery

Why this role stands out

You'll join a consultancy that combines deep technical expertise with a genuinely collaborative culture. They work with organisations tackling complex challenges around data, security and digital transformation - meaning the AI work you'll deliver will be practical, impactful and high profile.

Exposure to diverse sectors and complex AI challenges

The chance to help shape AI strategy and innovation across multiple organisations

A collaborative environment where ideas and expertise are valued

Real influence over how AI solutions are designed and delivered
