About the Role

As AI Programme & Adoption Manager, you will be part of our four-person AI Implementation Pod, a multidisciplinary, agile team at the centre of Mark Allen Group, supporting our wider Group transformation programme. You will run the delivery engine of the programme, maintaining the integrated delivery roadmap, project plans, dependencies, resource coordination, reporting and adoption plans that keep a complex portfolio of work coordinated, on track and measurable. This is an opportunity to work at the centre of a Group-wide transformation, bringing structure and momentum to a fast-moving programme while helping colleagues build the confidence and capability to embrace new technologies and more effective ways of working.

Responsibilities

Maintain the integrated roadmap for Group transformation delivery, translating agreed strategic priorities into clear project plans, milestones, and delivery schedules across the programme.
Manage milestones, workstreams, interdependencies and sequencing, ensuring agreed priorities, responsibilities and delivery progress remain visible across the programme.
Coordinate internal and external resources and maintain visibility of programme resource requirements.
Track actions, risks, issues and decisions, identifying delivery bottlenecks and escalating appropriately.
Coordinate activity with external consultants, partners and suppliers, ensuring their work is aligned with programme priorities, delivery plans and timelines.
Maintain clear programme documentation and governance.
Prepare concise programme reporting for the AI Strategic Implementation Lead, Group COO and ExCo.
Coordinate delivery capacity across the AI Implementation Pod and wider teams.
Track dependencies on Development, Data, HR and other functions.
Ensure activities are appropriately sequenced and properly resourced.

Develop and manage adoption plans across different disciplines.
Work with the Talent Director and HR to embed AI capability into People First and wider development pathways.
Coordinate foundational and discipline-specific training, ensuring learning focuses on solving real business problems rather than simply teaching tools.
Support teams and managers through workflow and behavioural change.
Identify barriers to adoption and ensure these inform programme priorities.
Recruit and actively community-manage the Group AI Ambassador network.
Provide Ambassadors with additional training, resources and visibility of the wider programme.
Create regular forums for colleagues to share learning, practical examples, concerns and ideas.
Use the Ambassador network as a two-way connection between the central AI team and colleagues across the Group.
Work with the AI Strategic Implementation Lead to establish programme KPIs and meaningful baseline measures, maintaining the reporting needed to track progress, adoption and realised benefits.
Track and report the equivalent value generated by the programme.
Distinguish between hard realised financial value, validated capacity value, structural value, commercial pipeline and risk reduction.
Monitor adoption, usage, productivity and realised benefits.
Ensure claimed benefits are evidenced and appropriately quantified.
Ensure lessons from pilots and discipline-level transformation work are captured and shared.
Work with the AI Transformation Fellow to maintain internal resources, case studies and guidance.
Help create a culture in which practical AI learning is shared across organisational boundaries.
