The Role The Head of AI Transformation Portfolio leads the Central AI Team and is accountable for the firm's AI transformation portfolio: its objectives, prioritisation, strategic alignment, value delivery, readiness, governance, decision rhythm and overall coherence. It is a senior leadership role with reach across the firm, working directly with Executive Sponsors, the Digital Transformation Steering Board and senior leaders across practice, business services, technology, data, risk and security. The role helps the firm translate AI ambition into practical, scalable and measurable outcomes, ensuring strategic intent is supported by the governance, capabilities, investment and organisational readiness required to deliver it. The role does not replace programme ownership. Programme leads remain accountable for delivery within their domains. The Head of AI Transformation Portfolio is accountable for the integrated portfolio: defining portfolio objectives, sequencing, dependencies, governance, standards, decision support, value realisation and the resolution of issues that span more than one programme. Key Responsibilities Develop and maintain the firm's AI transformation portfolio strategy, drawing together business, legal delivery, technology, data and functional priorities into a coherent agenda with clear outcomes, milestones, decision points and measures of success. Lead portfolio governance and decision support, maintaining the integrated roadmap, preparing recommendations for the Digital Transformation Steering Board, and ensuring the firm has clear visibility of portfolio performance, dependencies, risks, readiness requirements and investment choices. Design and run governance that drives decisions rather than reporting: Board agendas should be built around choices, options, trade-offs and recommendations, with decisions tracked through to implementation. Own the Central AI Team's plan, setting priorities and sequencing activity so that the transformation progresses as a single integrated portfolio rather than a collection of independent initiatives. Turn ambiguity into decisions: frame complex issues, define options, expose trade-offs, build consensus around a recommended course of action, secure the decision and drive agreed outcomes through to implementation. Lead firm-wide decisions relating to AI governance, supplier strategy, regulatory compliance, client commitments, policy accountability, workforce implications, AI scale-readiness and operating model evolution. Maintain an external intelligence view across clients, competitors, vendors and adjacent industries, translating relevant developments into implications for portfolio choices, R&D priorities and areas of potential competitive advantage. Own the AI scale-readiness agenda, working closely with the CIO, CISO, data leadership and programme leads to identify the capabilities, controls, infrastructure, governance frameworks and investment required to support AI and agentic AI at scale. Establish pragmatic guardrails that enable appropriate use cases to progress whilst longer-term foundations are developed. Partner with client-facing, legal and business services leaders to identify, prioritise and deliver the AI use cases with the greatest potential in each of their areas, bringing capability, method and delivery support whilst each function retains ownership of change within its own operations. Partner with business and functional leaders to build the organisational capability required for AI adoption, including workforce planning, skills development, role evolution, operating model changes and the firm's AI champions network. Set and maintain the frameworks through which the transformation operates, including pilot evaluation, scaling, agentic AI governance, business case assessment, vendor onboarding, benefits measurement, responsible use and AI risk management. Lead value measurement and executive reporting, providing the Steering Board and Management Committee with a clear view of progress, adoption, benefits realisation and where further decisions are required. Lead and develop the Central AI Team, including AI Programme Managers, Change Managers and transformation specialists, and champion the transformation across the firm. Key Responsibilities We are open on background, and as interested in candidates from technology, financial services, consultancy and other complex professional environments as from the legal sector. The successful candidate will combine strategic judgement, AI fluency, transformation leadership and the ability to move senior groups from discussion to decision. Experience Leading cross-functional programmes or transformation in a large, complex organisation, where success depended on influence, credibility and evidence.Shaping transformation strategy or portfolio strategy and managing it through to execution, with clear targets, milestones and value measures.Advising senior leaders on consequential decisions and bringing them clear, well-founded recommendations.Strong enough AI fluency to engage credibly with business, technology, data, risk and security leaders, and to understand the implications of emerging capability.Experience operating across strategy and execution: equally able to shape a board-level rec

Rather than focusing solely on building data pipelines, you'll provide technical leadership across the engineering function, helping define the architectural direction of the company's data platform while influencing how engineering teams solve complex customer and business problems. You'll work at the intersection of Engineering and Product, translating evolving commercial priorities into scalable technical solutions that enable faster delivery, improve customer outcomes and support the continued growth of the platform. If you're looking for a role where you can influence architecture, mentor senior engineers and help shape the technical strategy of a modern SaaS business, this is an outstanding opportunity. The Role Working as a Staff Engineer, you'll become one of the senior technical leaders within the engineering organisation, partnering closely with Product Managers, Engineering Managers and fellow Staff Engineers to guide architectural decisions across multiple teams. This is a role centred around technical leadership rather than people management. You'll provide direction through influence, helping teams navigate complex technical challenges, balancing long-term architectural thinking with the pace required to deliver customer value. You'll be expected to take ambiguous commercial or product requirements and transform them into clear, pragmatic technical solutions that support both immediate delivery and long-term platform evolution. This is far more than a traditional data engineering position. Success will come from the quality of your technical judgement, your ability to influence engineering across the business and your understanding of how technology decisions impact customers, product delivery and commercial success. What You'll Be Doing Shape the technical strategy and architecture of the organisation's data platform. Lead architectural discussions across multiple engineering teams. Translate evolving product and commercial requirements into scalable technical solutions. Partner closely with Product to ensure engineering decisions support customer outcomes and business priorities. Mentor engineers and help raise technical standards across the organisation.

Essential Experience We're looking for someone who can demonstrate experience across: Operating as a Staff Engineer, Principal Engineer or equivalent senior individual contributor within a modern SaaS product business. Defining technical architecture that supports both immediate product delivery and long-term platform evolution. Translating ambiguous commercial or product requirements into pragmatic technical solutions. Balancing technology decisions with people, engineering capability and commercial priorities rather than focusing solely on technical excellence. Working closely with Product teams to shape delivery, influence roadmaps and ensure engineering decisions create measurable customer value. Considering architecture beyond the codebase, including product delivery, customer release planning and go-to-market implications where appropriate. Influencing technical direction across multiple engineering teams without relying on formal line management. Making pragmatic architectural decisions in fast-paced environments where priorities change regularly. Demonstrating broad experience across multiple data disciplines, with an understanding of how data engineering, analytics, platforms and product engineering work together. Building strong relationships across Engineering, Product and other business functions to deliver successful outcomes. Desirable Experience Exposure to any of the following would be advantageous: Event-driven architectures. Data platform strategy and modern data ecosystems. Machine Learning or AI-enabled products. Platform Engineering principles. Mentoring senior engineers and developing technical capability across engineering teams. Large-scale SaaS product environments serving significant customer bases. About You You're someone who understands that great engineering isn't just about building excellent technology solutions - it's about making technical decisions that enable people, support product delivery and deliver meaningful commercial outcomes. You thrive in environments where requirements aren't always fully defined, bringing clarity to ambiguity and translating business challenges into pragmatic, scalable solutions that balance architectural quality with delivery pace. You're comfortable making difficult trade-offs, challenging ideas constructively and influencing through technical credibility rather than authority, working closely with Engineering and Product to ensure technology decisions create lasting value for both customers and the business. Most importantly, you'll enjoy operating in a fast-moving, product-led environment where engineering has genuine influence over product strategy, customer outcomes and commercial success. Why Apply? This is a genuinely rare opportunity to operate as a true Staff Engineer within a successful and growing SaaS business. You'll have the chance to: Shape the long-term technical direction of a modern SaaS data platform. Influence architecture across multiple engineering teams. Partner closely with Product to solve real customer problems. Work on company-scale engineering challenges in a fast-moving product environment.
