  • Support colleagues in understanding and adopting AI technologies in their daily work.
  • Provide practical guidance and demonstrations of new AI tools and applications.
  • Promote the responsible and secure use of AI, including appropriate data protection, confidentiality and human oversight.
  • Work with management to establish effective practices for AI implementation and use.
  • Stay informed of developments in AI and proactively recommend opportunities for continuous improvement.

About You
We are looking for someone who combines a genuine passion for artificial intelligence with the practical ability to implement technology-led improvements.
You will be naturally curious, commercially minded and confident working with colleagues across different departments to identify challenges and develop effective solutions.
