About the Role

Manage the AI efficiency programme end-to-end, driving measurable efficiency and productivity gains by embedding AI into business operations and managing the associated people change.

Responsibilities

• Take over and run the AI efficiency programme end to end, manage the cross-programme view and oversee individual workstreams.
• Maintain the operating rhythm: regular initiative updates, periodic portfolio refreshes and executive reporting (including monthly Board updates).
• Coordinate across Function Captains and workstream owners in Sales & Marketing, Finance and Customer Success, surfacing patterns, dependencies and risks.
• Apply the same approach to other functions as capacity allows.
• Keep the programme disciplined and structured — clear ownership, sponsorship and progress tracking — rather than letting it fragment into ad hoc activity.
• Run individual initiatives from idea to a working, adopted output — embedding AI into operational workflows, not just piloting it.
• Partner with stakeholders across functions to translate operational problems into practical AI solutions.
• Build and shape tools, collateral and supporting materials directly where needed.
• Maintain a consistent way of measuring impact across different initiative types — project-based, adoption-based and capability-based.
• Keep a shared impact measure that lets progress be aggregated and communicated at executive level, with a clear line to efficiency and productivity gains.
• Coordinate and capture the broader efficiency gains from AI adoption across teams and tools.
• Keep the portfolio visible and credible across the business.
• Act as the link between the executive sponsor, delivery and operational teams.
• Build trust and engagement across functions, working through influence rather than direct line management.

Requirements

• 8-10 years+ in strategy, transformation or value creation, ideally from a top-tier strategy or transformation consultancy (MBB or comparable) and/or an in-house transformation role.
• Proven track record of embedding AI/tools into operational workflows and delivering measurable efficiency or productivity gains.
• Experience running a programme, portfolio or set of cross-functional initiatives, ideally taking on and maintaining something already in flight.
• Strong organisational and coordination skills, keeping multiple workstreams moving and visible.
• Comfort working hands-on — building tools, materials and analysis — as well as managing at programme level.
• Strong stakeholder management, with a track record of influencing across functions without direct authority.
• Clear, direct communication; credible with senior stakeholders, including at executive level.
• Experience in a PE-owned business and fluency with a value-creation agenda (desirable).
• Experience defining impact or value measurement for a portfolio of initiatives (desirable).
• Exposure to AI tooling and internal transformation work in a fast-moving environment where standards and tooling are still maturing (desirable).
