Build the AI-driven business. Turn data into a competitive advantage.

We’re looking for a commercially minded Head of Data & AI to shape how a fast-moving, international financial services business uses data and AI to work smarter, move faster and make better decisions.

This is a genuine transformation role — not AI for the sake of headlines. You’ll lead the strategy, redesign workflows, scale practical AI adoption and empower teams with trusted, self-service data.

The opportunity:

? Lead AI strategy, implementation and measurable business impact

? Build a trusted data foundation and champion self-service analytics

? Embed AI into everyday business operations

? Lead and develop a high-performing analytics team

? Partner with senior leadership, Data Engineering and Compliance

? Drive innovation in a complex, multi-jurisdictional financial services environment

We’re looking for someone who brings:

️ Proven leadership across Data, Analytics or AI

️ A track record of taking AI solutions from idea to adoption

️ Strong SQL, data modelling, dbt and cloud data warehouse expertise

️ Commercial thinking, stakeholder influence and a hands-on delivery mindset

️ Financial services, trading or brokerage experience

The split? Approximately 60% AI, 40% Data. Strategic enough to shape the future, hands-on enough to make it happen.

If you’re ready to move beyond experimentation and deliver AI and data capabilities that make a tangible difference, let’s talk.

? Interested? Get in touch for a confidential conversation.
