Head of AI

Data Idols are partnering with a major UK brand undergoing a significant enterprise-wide transformation, placing AI at the centre of its long-term business and technology strategy. This is a pivotal, newly created leadership role with the remit to define, influence, and drive the organisation's entire AI agenda.
The Opportunity
As Head of AI, you will shape the strategic direction for how AI, including generative, agentic, and operational AI, is adopted, governed, and scaled across the organisation. You'll create and lead a high-impact AI function that brings together existing ML, AI Ops, and emerging AI capabilities under a clear, unified strategy.
This role is about vision, influence, and enterprise-wide impact. You'll work closely with executive stakeholders to identify where AI can deliver meaningful commercial value, create competitive advantage, and transform customer and operational experiences. You will champion the responsible and strategic adoption of AI, ensuring cutting-edge technologies translate into measurable outcomes.
While you'll have a strong technical grounding, this is not a hands-on research or engineering position. Instead, you'll provide strategic leadership, ensuring the right capabilities, standards, and governance structures are in place to successfully deliver AI at scale.

Build, lead, and inspire a new AI organisation, consolidating and uplifting existing teams

Influence senior stakeholders and guide the organisation on where and how AI can create real commercial leverage
Skills and Experience
Proven leadership in defining and delivering enterprise AI strategy, including GenAI
Strong understanding of AI platforms, MLOps, and modern AI tooling (without needing to be hands-on)
Experience translating AI opportunities into commercially impactful use cases at scale
Exceptional communication, influence, and stakeholder engagement skills, able to operate confidently at senior levels
Demonstrated ability to build new teams and uplift organisational capability If you are motivated by shaping the future of AI within a major organisation and leading an agenda with significant executive visibility and impact, please submit your CV for initial screening.
