About the Role
As a Senior Manager within our Defence team, you will lead critical work for discerning and highly AI-literate customers across the UK Defence landscape and for our international partners. This is a fast-paced and demanding role that requires deep mission-area context, programme delivery mastery, and the ability to think creatively about the role of AI in national security. You can expect to lead high-stakes portfolios of work, ranging from the experimental application of emerging technologies to robust products that we progress through a complete development lifecycle and deploy for users in frontline commands.

- Developing and owning compelling, mission-focused proposals to grow our Defence and National Security portfolio.
- Mentoring and developing team members, aligning their growth with the critically important and sensitive work for which we’re responsible.
- Working strategically to deliver meaningful operational outcomes and improved decision-making for Defence organisations rather than just focusing on outputs.
- Forming strong, trusted relationships with senior military and civilian customers, collaborating closely with other industry partners where required.
- Advising clients on AI strategy and technical implementation, engaging confidently in complex technical discussions with senior leaders and directors.
- Supporting wider business efforts as a Senior Manager to ensure maximum strategic flexibility and commercial impact across the business unit.
Requirements
- Experienced Senior Manager with a proven background in managing complex, large-scale transformation programmes within demanding environments.
- Significant experience in the Defence space, possibly gained through a career in the Armed Forces, Government, academia, or industry roles.
- Track record of shipping digital products and possess the expertise required to get AI-enabled services over the line within a Government or Defence context.
- Deep interest in AI and ML concepts and can think creatively about their application to solve a range of modern battle-space and organisational challenges.
- Technical nous to engage confidently with senior stakeholders on engineering concepts and the practicalities of deploying AI at scale.
- Understanding of the commercial consulting delivery model, allowing focus on account growth, project oversight, and value creation.
- Embrace an entrepreneurial approach to a highly visible portfolio, with the flexibility to support broader strategic work across the Senior Management team.
- Thrive in ambiguous, high-stakes settings and maintain a structured approach to problem-solving and delivering high-quality results under pressure.
- Eligible for UK Security Clearance (SC).
- Willing to work between 2 to 4 days per week on-site with customers.
