Job Description

Head of AI Enablement

Global Advertising Agency

London (Hybrid in office 3 times per week)

180k base 10% bonus

This isnt a role where you manage a tool rollout and call it done. Theres no playbook yet. Youre writing it.

Our client is a global advertising agency with a genuine challenger mindset. They work with major brands (who youll know) and move fast. Right now theyre building their AI and systems capability from the ground up and they need someone to own it end to end: the tools the governance the adoption and the proof that its actually working.

The problem

Buying AI tools is easy. Making them stick is not. Theyve got ambition and budget but they need someone who can take that and turn it into a machine: embedding Gemini into daily workflows fixing the back-office systems nobody wants to touch and running the kind of strategic projects that report directly to the COO and CIO. Thats this job.

As Head of AI Enablement youll own the full picture. The AI rollout the systems roadmap the automation pipeline and the governance framework that keeps it all honest. You wont just launch things. Youll be accountable for whether they actually deliver.

What Youll Own

  • AI deployment. Lead the enterprise-wide rollout of Gemini getting it genuinely embedded into how teams work not just installed and ignored. Build a Centre of Excellence that shares whats working across the business.
  • Automation pipeline. Find the opportunities vet them prioritise them and move them from idea to delivery. Every initiative needs a clear ROI before it gets resourced.
  • Systems ownership. Own the long-term roadmap for the agencys back-office applications (Deltek Maconomy Deltek Workbook SAGE Greenhouse). Partner with department heads globally to translate operational pain into system fixes.
  • Strategic projects. Act as a senior partner to the COO and CIO on the big stuff including M&A integrations and operational efficiency programmes across the group.
  • Governance and value realisation. Build the framework that keeps the portfolio honest: stage-gate approvals clear accountability and post-implementation reviews that check whether the intended benefits actually landed.

What Theyre Looking For

  • Delivery track record. Youve taken complex messy problems and turned them into working solutions. Not prototypes or pilots. Things that shipped and made a difference.
  • The hybrid mindset. You can talk AI API integrations with a developer in the morning and agency margins with an MD in the afternoon. Both conversations need to feel natural.
  • Systems experience. Youve managed enterprise technology in a large international business services environment. ERP implementations not just SaaS rollouts.
  • AI fluency. You dont need to be a data scientist. You do need to know how to scope prompt and deploy AI tools to solve real operational problems and you need to have done it.
  • Seniority. 10 years at mid to senior level with enough gravitas to work directly with executive leadership and enough practicality to get your hands dirty when needed.

Bonus Experience/Nice to have

  • Experience in advertising media or professional services.
  • Background in M&A integration or post-merger systems work.
  • Familiarity with building governance frameworks from scratch.

Why This Ones Worth a Look

Youre building not inheriting. The governance framework the AI adoption model the systems roadmap: none of it exists yet. Youre creating it.

Real accountability. You own benefit realisation not just delivery. If the tools dont move the needle youll know before anyone else does.

Direct line to the top. Youre reporting into and partnering with the COO and CIO on the work that matters most to the business.

Its current. AI in advertising is moving fast and this agency wants to be ahead of it not catching up.

Most roles like this ask you to run whats already there. This one asks you to build what doesnt exist yet. If thats the kind of problem you want to own get in touch.
