The Opportunity
Artificial Intelligence is transforming the way organisations operate. The question is no longer whether to adopt AI, but how to do so securely, responsibly and in a way that delivers genuine commercial value.
Our client is one of Europe’s most entrepreneurial and fast-growing brand businesses, recognised for its ambitious leadership, commercial agility and long-term investment in growth. As AI becomes an increasingly important part of its future, the business is seeking an experienced AI Governance & Responsible AI Consultant to help establish a practical governance framework that enables innovation while protecting the organisation, its people and its intellectual property.
Working closely with senior leadership and a newly established AI Governance Committee, you will help define the organisation’s AI strategy, governance framework and best practice. This is a highly visible assignment where your recommendations will directly influence how AI is adopted across the business.
This is a strategic advisory role rather than a software development or AI engineering position. You will have a track record of advising senior leadership, influencing stakeholders across multiple business functions and translating complex AI concepts into practical business solutions.

- Review existing practices and identify opportunities to strengthen governance and oversight.
