About the role
As a Senior Manager in our National Security and Safety team, you will act as a pivotal commercial and delivery lead, driving high-stakes AI transformation for the UK’s most critical government partners. You will be a strategic architect, building deep networks of influence and solving complex safety challenges by bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI research and operational mission needs.
With an entrepreneurial spirit, you will exceed ambitious growth targets while mentoring multidisciplinary teams to ensure every project delivers meaningful, long-term value in a fast-evolving national security landscape.
What you'll be doing:
Managing the end-to-end delivery of complex AI and data science projects, ensuring high-quality outcomes that meet rigorous operational and ethical standards.
Nurturing strong, trusting relationships with government partners and technical stakeholders to act as a reliable advisor on AI implementation.
Developing compelling proposals and responding to RFPs to unlock new strategic AI use cases within the national security sector.
Supporting the execution of sector strategies by aligning project milestones with broader business unit goals and evolving safety needs.
Bridging the gap between highly technical AI research and strategic mission challenges to communicate complex ideas clearly to non-technical audiences.
Mentoring junior team members and project associates, fostering a collaborative culture focused on technical excellence and professional growth.
Who we're looking for:
You bring a solid foundation in the National Security domain, with a passionate interest in how AI can transform high-stakes decision-making and public safety.
You possess experience in consultancy or service-based delivery, allowing you to manage complex project lifecycles and meet critical deadlines under pressure.
You are an effective communicator, capable of translating technical AI concepts into clear, actionable insights for senior stakeholders and multidisciplinary teams.
You demonstrate a structured approach to problem-solving, thriving in ambiguous settings while maintaining scientific rigor and business focus.
You have a proven track record of supporting commercial growth, whether through identifying new opportunities or managing successful client onboarding.
You exhibit an entrepreneurial and proactive mindset, ready to adapt fast in a rapidly evolving domain while leading with integrity and clarity.
