This pioneering company offers an advanced enterprise platform that delivers predictive analytics and AI-powered decision-making. Their digital AI agents provide always-on, intelligent insights, empowering top-tier clients across sectors, including asset management, banking, retail, telecoms, supply chain, and utilities, to dramatically enhance performance and efficiency.

You’ll play a key role in designing and deploying bespoke AI agents in collaboration with leading enterprises.

This isn’t your typical AI Engineering position – it’s deeply technical, highly collaborative, and focused on delivering real-world impact. You’ll help translate complex business challenges into intelligent, scalable solutions powered by cutting-edge AI tools.

Key attributes of a suitable Senior AI Engineer include:

• Strong Data Science Foundations – bring solid grounding in statistics and machine learning, along with strong programming skills – Python preferred.
• Passion for Cutting-Edge AI – You actively experiment with and apply modern AI technologies such as LLMs, RAGs, co-pilots, agentic workflows (highly desired), and more.
• Client-Centric Problem Solver – You’re confident engaging with clients and stakeholders, able to translate complex business problems into elegant, scalable AI solutions. You’ve played a hands-on role in architecting and delivering real-world deployments.

Be honest. Most of your work probably sat in a folder after the final debrief. That’s not a knock on the work, it’s just how consulting usually goes: you deliver, you leave, and the client’s left to figure out the “now what.”

This role exists to fix that gap.

Our client is a fast-growing strategy and insight consultancy, working with some of the world’s biggest brands. They’re deliberately building something rare in this industry: a function whose whole job is making sure the strategic thinking actually lands, not just gets delivered.

You’ll own a brand new function, sitting underneath everything else the business does.

That means:

• Diagnosing where a client’s organisation is stuck, and deciding what to embed first
• Turning strategy and frameworks into tools, dashboards, workshops and coaching people genuinely use
• Building content (films, training, workshops) that makes the work stick, not just documents it
• Working the whole client org, from the leadership team down to the people using the tools daily
• Shaping what “capability” even means for a consultancy in an AI-driven world

You’ve probably worked both sides of this: consultancy or innovation agency, and client-side too. You’ve felt the frustration of handing over great strategic work and watching it stall. You’ve got real opinions on why that happens, and what actually gets people to change how they work.

You might come from a client-side capability or insight team, or from an innovation consultancy. What matters more than the CV line is this: have you actually driven transformation, or just delivered training? If it’s the latter, this probably isn’t your role.

Our client is a well-established broadcaster with a strong presence across linear TV and a growing non-linear footprint (streaming, AVOD, FAST). Audience data drives real decisions here, not just reports nobody reads.

You’ll own the daily, weekly and monthly reporting that tells the business how channels are performing. You’ll dig into BARB data using Advantage or TechEdge, track the competitive landscape, and work closely with the wider team to answer the questions that come up when someone asks “why did that show do better than expected?” There’s no one to manage, and that’s deliberate. This is a role built for someone who wants to get properly good at the craft first.

Central London office, two days in.

You’ve got at least two years’ research experience at a broadcaster, or you’ve come from an agency and worked closely enough with broadcast clients to understand the world. You know your way around Advantage or TechEdge. You’re comfortable with Excel (there’s a practical test at second stage, so come ready).

You’re not looking for a title bump every six months. You want to build depth, learn from people who’ve been doing this a long time, and know that the room to grow is there when you’re ready for it.

They are one of Europe’s largest companies, operating across multiple offerings, from TV to Mobile and Broadband. With over 20 million customers worldwide, they are one of the leaders in the media and entertainment space.

You will be the senior technical owner for media measurement standards, building and embedding a unified framework across ATL, digital, testing, econometrics and campaign reporting – defining the KPIs and evidential standards used to assess media performance, and leading the end-to-end design of strategic geo-tests and incrementality experiments in partnership with Econometrics, Digital Marketing, Media Planning, Media Strategy and Test & Learn.

Line managing a team of 3 Marketing Analysts, you’ll also coach and develop their capability in measurement, statistical thinking and evidence-based decision-making. At the same time, they carry out much of the hands-on technical delivery.

This pioneering organisation has built an advanced enterprise AI platform delivering predictive analytics and AI-powered decision intelligence.

Their digital AI agents provide always-on, intelligent insights – supporting leading clients across financial services, retail, FMCG, pharma, and beyond to enhance performance and efficiency.

As Lead AI Engineer, you’ll lead the delivery of Agentic AI solutions post-sale, owning client projects from design through to deployment. This is a hands-on role combining strong technical depth with delivery leadership and stakeholder management.

You’ll implement AI and agentic systems across enterprise clients, designing scalable architectures using LLMs, RAG pipelines, and agentic workflows, while working closely with engineering and product teams to ensure successful outcomes.

Key attributes of the suitable Lead AI Engineer include:

• Technical Data Science Expertise – Strong background delivering production-grade solutions, ideally within consulting or product-led environments.
• Agentic AI & Modern AI Systems Experience – Hands-on exposure to LLMs, RAG pipelines, and agentic
• Delivery Leadership & Client Ownership – Comfortable leading teams while remaining technically involved and managing client relationships post-sale

Strong desk research and information gathering skills
The ability to analyse data and draw logical conclusions
Excellent written communication skills
High levels of attention to detail and accuracy
Confidence using Excel to analyse and present data
Interest in labour markets, employment trends or economic research

Exposure to employment law, labour markets and economic analysis
Work on high-profile cases and major public inquiries
Join a small, intellectually rigorous research team
Develop deep expertise in labour market and salary analysis

If you’re ready to trade “delivering insight” for shaping the agenda, I’d love a confidential conversation .

This is a proper 3-day-a-week role at a business that’s genuinely growing. You’ll be trusted from day one, given real ownership over how the office runs, and worked with by people who don’t do the “just because you’re part-time” thing.

Our client is a fast-growing, PE-backed strategy studio in Southwark, London. Around 35 people, working with some genuinely big global brands, and in the middle of a proper growth chapter. The culture is collaborative and refreshingly unstuffy: smart people who take the work seriously but don’t take themselves too seriously.

• Keeping the office running smoothly: facilities, supplies, health & safety, the vendors who make it all tick
• Helping new starters land well: onboarding logistics, compliance basics
• Supporting the leadership team: calendars, meeting coordination, hospitality for client visits and pitches
• A bit of travel support, for now

No box-ticking on years of experience here. What matters more:

✅ You’re organised without being rigid
✅ You take pride in enabling other people to do their best work
✅ You want somewhere to actually stay, not a stopgap while you wait for the next thing
