Senior AI Delivery Lead | Associate Director | Security & Justice United Kingdom | Permanent | Leading Consultancy Are you an AI engineer who's tired of being the person who "advises" on AI — and actually wants to build it? We're hiring a Senior AI Delivery Lead at Associate Director level for a high-impact practice working across some of the UK's most complex public sector programmes. Think policing, defence, justice, and national security — environments where the bar for reliability, security, and responsible AI is about as high as it gets. This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You'll be architecting and shipping production-grade AI systems, not producing slide decks about them. ────────────────────────────── WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING ────────────────────────────── Technical Architecture • Designing end-to-end LLM and RAG systems integrated into complex enterprise workflows • Deploying and optimising models on AWS Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, and self-hosted GPU infrastructure (vLLM, SGLang, Ollama)• Building robust MLOps/LLMOps pipelines — CI/CD, model monitoring, evaluation frameworks, observability • Making the call on when AI is the right answer — and when a simpler solution is better Delivery • Translating client requirements into technical roadmaps and shipping production-ready systems • Moving AI from prototype to hardened, live service in high-security environments • Proactively managing technical risk — security vulnerabilities, deployment bottlenecks, delivery timelines Leadership • Leading cross-functional teams of data scientists and engineers • Communicating complex AI concepts to senior non-technical stakeholders • Mentoring and upskilling engineers, building a culture of engineering excellence ────────────────────────────── WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR ──────────────────────────────✅ Expert Python — plus hands-on experience with LangChain, LangGraph, PyTorch, TensorFlow or equivalent ✅ Deep knowledge of LLMs, RAG, prompt engineering, fine-tuning, vector databases, and generative architectures ✅ Production AI/ML delivery experience — real-world impact matters more than credentials ✅ Cloud-agnostic experience across AWS, Azure, and GCP ✅ Strong MLOps/LLMOps background — CI/CD for ML, governance, model monitoring ✅ Experience leading technical teams and managing senior stakeholder relationships ✅ Track record in a complex, regulated industry — healthcare, government, finance, defence, or similar No minimum education requirement. A PhD, strong industry experience, or impressive open source contributions all count equally. What matters is shipped, production-grade AI. Domain experience in Security & Justice is a bonus — not a prerequisite. A willingness to upskill in the sector is what counts. Security Clearance may be required. ────────────────────────────── WHY THIS ROLE?────────────────────────────── Real ownership — architect and deliver, not just advise ️ High-stakes, meaningful work — the kind where your systems actually matter Career trajectory — joining at a moment of significant AI scale-up Senior exposure — direct engagement with client leadership from day one ────────────────────────────── Interested or know someone who might be?
