Help shape the next generation of AI platforms – driving real-world impact across price, risk, and customer.

We’re seeking a hands-on AI leader who can design, build, and scale enterprise AI systems – not just talk about them. You’ll work across data, engineering, and business teams to deliver production-grade AI and ML capabilities that make a difference.

What you’ll do:

  • Lead or join a new AI team focused on agentic software development and platform delivery.

  • Build scalable, ethical AI/ML systems that power business-critical decisions.

  • Partner with leaders to embed AI into the enterprise ecosystem.

  • Drive innovation across digital products, data, and customer experiences.

What you’ll bring:

  • Proven experience delivering AI/ML solutions at scale in fast-moving digital or high-frequency trading environments.

  • Strong background in software engineering and applied AI.

  • Deep understanding of how AI fits into an enterprise platform ecosystem.

  • A builder’s mindset – collaborative, curious, and ready to lead from the front.

Join a team where AI innovation meets delivery – and where you can shape the future from the ground up.

We’re proud to have won the Best Mid-Sized Recruitment Company to Work For at the 2023 TIARA Recruitment Awards, and to have been finalists, for the second year in a row, in the Client Service and Recruitment Leader of the Year categories!
