AI Director (London) - Client-Facing - £130,000 base

Overview

Method has partnered with a digital consulting firm investing heavily in its client-facing capabilities. The business is evolving toward an AI-led consulting model and is hiring a senior leader to drive that shift.

This is a Director/Partner-level role focused on redefining how services are designed, delivered, and scaled using generative and agentic AI. You will work across leadership, partners, and technology teams to embed AI across the full client lifecycle, from discovery through to delivery and long-term value creation.

The Opportunity

AI sits at the centre of the firm's move to a digital-first model. In this role, you will define how AI is applied across engagements, ensuring solutions are commercially viable, scalable, and adopted in practice.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own and execute the AI strategy across the Consulting practice, including a clear roadmap for embedding AI end-to-end across client engagements
  • Partner with senior stakeholders to redesign services, identify high-impact use cases, and translate AI capability into tangible commercial outcomes
  • Lead client engagement at a senior level, shaping and validating AI-led solutions while supporting partners in positioning differentiated offerings
  • Drive internal adoption by improving productivity, embedding tools, and leading change initiatives to ensure solutions are implemented effectively
  • Build AI capability across teams and ensure all initiatives are governed, compliant, and aligned with wider digital and technology priorities

Go-To-Market & Growth

  • Define the AI go-to-market strategy, including priority sectors, use cases, and revenue pathways
  • Build scalable, repeatable AI-enabled offerings with clear commercial models and market positioning
  • Develop AI-led operating model propositions, supporting clients in redesigning processes, workforce, and governance
  • Represent the firm in thought leadership, industry engagement, and strategic client forums
  • Build partnerships across the ecosystem and drive AI-related revenue growth, pipeline, and win rates

Skills & Experience

  • Proven experience leading AI or digital transformation within consulting or professional services
  • Strong understanding of generative AI, agent-based systems, and enterprise platforms
  • Track record in senior, client-facing advisory roles with the ability to influence at Partner/Director level
  • Experience taking initiatives from strategy through to execution and adoption
  • Strong communication, facilitation, and change leadership capability

Why This Role

  • Ownership of AI strategy and execution within a growing consulting practice
  • High visibility with senior leadership and clients
  • Scope to shape services, operating models, and market positioning
  • £130,000 base + bonus

Where to Advertise Data Science Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise data science jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that actually reach senior and lead data science talent. Data science spans a broad and often misunderstood spectrum — from statistical modelling and experimental design through to machine learning engineering, product analytics and AI research. The strongest candidates identify firmly with specific subdisciplines and are frustrated by adverts that conflate data scientist with data analyst, business intelligence developer or machine learning engineer. General job boards produce high application volumes for data roles but consistently fail to match specialist data science profiles with the right opportunities. This guide, published by DataScienceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data science roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK data science hiring over the next three years — from MLE crossover to GenAI workflows. Data science has spent the past decade being described as the sexiest job of the twenty-first century. By 2026, the reality is both more nuanced and more interesting than that label ever suggested. The discipline has matured, fragmented, deepened, and in some respects reinvented itself — and the jobs market has changed with it in ways that create genuine opportunity for those who understand what employers actually want, and genuine difficulty for those still operating on assumptions formed five years ago. The data science jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. The generalist data scientist — equally comfortable wrangling data, building models, and presenting insights to the board — is giving way to a more specialised landscape where employers know exactly what problem they are trying to solve and are looking for candidates with the specific depth to solve it. Machine learning engineering, causal inference, experimentation, AI product development, and domain-specific applied science have all emerged as distinct career tracks within what was previously a single, loosely defined profession. At the same time, the arrival of large language models and the broader AI capability wave has both threatened and created data science roles in equal measure. Some of the work that junior data scientists spent their early careers doing — data cleaning, exploratory analysis, basic model building — is being partially automated by AI tooling. But the demand for practitioners who can evaluate AI systems rigorously, apply statistical thinking to complex business problems, and build the data foundations on which AI depends has grown considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what data scientists are expected to build and know, and how to position a data science career that will remain valuable as the field continues to evolve around them. This article breaks down what the UK data science jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
