Senior ServiceNow AI Strategy & Automation Consultant UK Wide Hybrid Permanent Up to the high 80,000s + 10% bonus and benefits AI comes up in nearly every client conversation now. In reality, most businesses are not short of tools. What they need is someone who can help them decide what each tool is actually for, where it will add value and how it should fit into the wider organisation. I'm working with a leading transformation consultancy that is growing its ServiceNow AI capability. They need a senior consultant who understands the platform and can help clients answer questions such as, "We already have Microsoft Copilot and ServiceNow, so where should we use each one?" What You'll Be Doing You'll work with senior stakeholders to develop practical AI and automation strategies with ServiceNow at the centre. You'll help them identify useful opportunities, decide which ones are worth pursuing and turn those ideas into roadmaps and business cases. The role covers AI capabilities across the ServiceNow platform rather than one specific product. Depending on your background, you could be advising on Now Assist, Virtual Agent, AI Control Tower, agentic workflows, enterprise search or Moveworks. A big part of the job will be helping clients understand where ServiceNow AI fits alongside tools such as Microsoft Copilot. You'll look at the business problem, existing systems and available data before recommending which capability makes the most sense. You'll also advise on the less glamorous but important parts of AI adoption, including governance, risk, data, integrations and responsible use. The wider consultancy has teams that can support detailed implementation, so this role is mainly focused on strategy, advisory work and shaping the overall direction. You'll also get involved in proposals, presentations and early client conversations as the consultancy continues to develop its ServiceNow AI offering. What They're Looking For You'll need a strong understanding of ServiceNow at platform level rather than experience with just one module. The manager is flexible on the exact AI tools you have used, but you should ideally have meaningful exposure to at least two areas such as Now Assist, Virtual Agent, AI Control Tower, agentic workflows, enterprise search or Moveworks. Nobody is expecting you to have years of experience across every new ServiceNow AI product. Many of them have not been around long enough for that. A solid ServiceNow background combined with experience in enterprise AI, intelligent automation, conversational AI or AI governance could be equally relevant. This is not a generic AI position, though. You need to understand how AI works within enterprise products and workflows, and you should be able to explain where ServiceNow offers value compared with other tools. Some knowledge of platform architecture, data and integrations will help, but you are not expected to be a developer or AI engineer. You'll be comfortable leading senior client conversations, explaining technical subjects in plain English and linking AI investment to actual business outcomes. Experience developing strategies, roadmaps, business cases or operating models will be important. Any involvement in proposals, RFPs or client development would also be useful. Why It's Worth Looking At This is a good opportunity to move into a more strategic ServiceNow position and work on the questions clients are asking right now. You'll get exposure to several emerging areas of the platform without being boxed into one product or expected to know everything from day one. You'll also have a genuine say in how the consultancy develops its ServiceNow AI offering, rather than simply joining an established delivery team and following an existing approach. You can be based anywhere in the UK. Travel to one of the consultancy's UK offices will usually be around once a month, with client travel required at key project milestones. If your background combines strong ServiceNow knowledge with AI, automation or governance experience, I'd be interested in speaking with you. Modis International Ltd acts as an employment agency for permanent recruitment and an employment business for the supply of temporary workers in the UK. Modis Europe Ltd provide a variety of international solutions that connect clients to the best talent in the world. For all positions based in Switzerland, Modis Europe Ltd works with its licensed Swiss partner Accurity GmbH to ensure that candidate applications are handled in accordance with Swiss law.

Morela is proud to be supporting a private, entrepreneurial family-owned real estate group with a multi-billion-pound property portfolio and a private credit book. Long established, cash generative, and quietly one of the larger privately held property businesses in the country. Not a name you will see on job boards, because they have never needed to advertise. And, remarkably, no data platform. Property management, asset management and accounting all sit in separate systems that do not talk to each other, which means nobody in the business has a single, trusted view of what it owns. They could have bought something off the shelf. They could have handed it to a consultancy. Instead, they have decided to build it properly, in-house, and this is the person who builds it. This is a blank page. You choose the stack. You design the model. You decide what gets built and what gets bought. There is no legacy platform to inherit and no architect sitting above you telling you how it is done. Because the business is family-owned, it actually moves: no steering committee, no six-week approval cycle, no business case to defend three times before you write a line of code. You will sit alongside the principals and the operating teams, so what you build goes live and gets used that week. Get the foundation right and the question that follows is a genuinely interesting one: whether the tooling you have built internally becomes a product in its own right. YOUR ROLE Set the direction. Identify and translate the organisation's highest-value problems into a technical roadmap, balancing a robust platform architecture against rapid delivery. Build the foundation. Design the data model that operates as a single source of truth, and the pipelines that store and reconcile properties, entities, leases, tenants, projects, invoices, cash flows, valuations and documents across multiple sources. Connect the estate. Build integrations with third-party vendors across APIs, webhooks, direct database access and scheduled ingestion. Kill the manual work. Eliminate repetitive manual work across internal workflows: data collection, validation, approvals, reconciliations, reminders, document generation and reporting. Ship what people use. Deliver dashboards, reports, alerts and internal applications that principals and operating teams can trust and actually use. Put AI to work properly. Build LLM pipelines for extraction, classification, retrieval and workflow support, with evaluations, human-in-the-loop oversight and auditability, so it is explainable rather than a black box. Set the bar. Set the standards for security, testing, deployment, monitoring and documentation, manage selected vendors, build the engineering culture, and mentor the junior data engineer. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR A strong record of building and operating reliable pipelines, integrations, data models or platforms that serve real users and business-critical decisions. Strong programming fundamentals in Python, TypeScript and SQL at expert working level, covering testing, performance and maintainability, with the judgement to review others' code and hold a high-quality bar. Confidence building robust REST APIs, working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL, modelling data, running ETL/ELT pipelines, and making pragmatic build-versus-buy calls. Experience deploying production systems in AWS, Azure or GCP, accounting for monitoring, secrets management, access control, backups and disaster recovery. Experience with production LLM pipelines: context engineering, evaluation, retrieval, tool use and guardrails. Experience taking a platform from prototype to production or working in an early-stage environment with a rapidly evolving product. Mature judgement handling financially sensitive, personal and commercially confidential information in a regulated industry. The ability to set direction, mentor a junior colleague and introduce engineering discipline while staying practical, fast and close to end users. Curiosity about how internal tools can be abstracted and generalised into a product. HELPFUL, BUT NOT ESSENTIAL Proptech, fintech, accounting technology, asset management, construction, private investment operations or another data-intensive regulated environment. Modern data warehouses, transformation and orchestration tooling, business intelligence platforms and internal web applications. Document processing, OCR, search and retrieval systems, workflow engines or human-in-the-loop review tools. UK data protection, information security and operational resilience principles. WHY THIS ONE IS WORTH A CONVERSATION Scope most senior engineers never get. The platform is yours to define, not someone else's to maintain. Direct access to the people who decide, without the layers that slow good engineering down. Real AI work with real constraints, where auditability and evaluation matter as much as the model. The stability of a long-established, cash-generative business, with the pace and the blank page of an early-stage one. THE PROCESS Morela is supporting this search and managing the process end to end. If the brief resonates, get in touch for a confidential conversation before you commit to anything; the client is named only once you are happy to be represented. Appointment will be subject to appropriate references, background checks and a confidentiality agreement. We welcome applicants from different backgrounds whose skills and evidence meet the requirements, and reasonable adjustments are available throughout the process.

Eliminate repetitive manual work across internal workflows: data collection, validation, approvals, reconciliations, reminders, document generation and reporting. Ship what people use. Deliver dashboards, reports, alerts and internal applications that principals and operating teams can trust and actually use. Put AI to work properly. Build LLM pipelines for extraction, classification, retrieval and workflow support, with evaluations, human-in-the-loop oversight and auditability, so it is explainable rather than a black box. Set the bar. Set the standards for security, testing, deployment, monitoring and documentation, manage selected vendors, build the engineering culture, and mentor the junior data engineer. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR A strong record of building and operating reliable pipelines, integrations, data models or platforms that serve real users and business-critical decisions. Strong programming fundamentals in Python, TypeScript and SQL at expert working level, covering testing, performance and maintainability, with the judgement to review others' code and hold a high-quality bar. Confidence building robust REST APIs, working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL, modelling data, running ETL/ELT pipelines, and making pragmatic build-versus-buy calls. Experience deploying production systems in AWS, Azure or GCP, accounting for monitoring, secrets management, access control, backups and disaster recovery. Experience with production LLM pipelines: context engineering, evaluation, retrieval, tool use and guardrails. Experience taking a platform from prototype to production or working in an early-stage environment with a rapidly evolving product. Mature judgement handling financially sensitive, personal and commercially confidential information in a regulated industry. The ability to set direction, mentor a junior colleague and introduce engineering discipline while staying practical, fast and close to end users. Curiosity about how internal tools can be abstracted and generalised into a product. HELPFUL, BUT NOT ESSENTIAL Proptech, fintech, accounting technology, asset management, construction, private investment operations or another data-intensive regulated environment. Modern data warehouses, transformation and orchestration tooling, business intelligence platforms and internal web applications. Document processing, OCR, search and retrieval systems, workflow engines or human-in-the-loop review tools. UK data protection, information security and operational resilience principles. WHY THIS ONE IS WORTH A CONVERSATION Scope most senior engineers never get. The platform is yours to define, not someone else's to maintain. Direct access to the people who decide, without the layers that slow good engineering down. Real AI work with real constraints, where auditability and evaluation matter as much as the model. The stability of a long-established, cash-generative business, with the pace and the blank page of an early-stage one. THE PROCESS Morela is supporting this search and managing the process end to end. If the brief resonates, get in touch for a confidential conversation before you commit to anything; the client is named only once you are happy to be represented. Appointment will be subject to appropriate references, background checks and a confidentiality agreement. We welcome applicants from different backgrounds whose skills and evidence meet the requirements, and reasonable adjustments are available throughout the process.

The foundations are already in place. Microsoft Fabric has been established as the strategic data platform and the initial transformation has been successfully delivered. The next phase is about maturing the platform improving architecture, engineering standards, scalability, automation and governance, while ensuring it can support the organisation's continued growth and future ambitions around AI. This isn't a role to simply maintain an existing platform, nor is it another Fabric implementation project. It's an opportunity to own the technical direction of an enterprise data platform and shape what it becomes next. The Role Working closely with the Head of Data, you'll become the technical lead for the data platform, taking ownership of its architecture, engineering direction and ongoing evolution. You'll lead a small team of Data Engineers while remaining close to the technology providing technical direction, mentoring the team, reviewing designs and getting involved in complex engineering challenges where required. You'll have the autonomy to understand what's already been built, challenge existing approaches where appropriate and establish the standards needed to develop a scalable, reliable and well-governed enterprise platform. Your responsibilities will include: Owning the technical roadmap and architecture of the Microsoft Fabric platform. Driving engineering standards, reusable patterns and development best practice. Improving CI/CD, automation, testing and wider DevOps maturity. Ensuring the platform remains scalable, reliable, secure and cost-effective. Supporting strong data governance, quality and platform controls. Leading and developing a small Data Engineering team. Supporting the integration of new data sources as the organisation continues to evolve. Working with senior technical and business stakeholders to translate requirements into platform capabilities. Helping establish the data foundations required to support future AI and automation initiatives. Remaining technically close to the platform and supporting the team with complex architecture and engineering decisions. What We're Looking For Strong Microsoft Fabric experience is essential. We're looking for someone who combines strong modern Data Engineering expertise with the ability to think beyond individual solutions and take ownership of a wider enterprise data platform. You'll ideally bring: Strong hands-on experience designing, building or evolving Microsoft Fabric data platforms. Strong modern Data Engineering experience and an understanding of scalable data architecture. Experience influencing platform architecture, technical standards and engineering best practice. A good understanding of modern engineering practices including CI/CD, Git, automation and testing . Experience leading, mentoring or providing technical direction to Data Engineers. Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively with both technical teams and senior business stakeholders. Experience across areas such as Medallion Architecture, Microsoft Purview, data governance, Python/PySpark, real-time/streaming, metadata-driven engineering or AI-enabled data products would be advantageous, but we're not expecting one person to tick every box. Why Join? This is an opportunity to join at an interesting point in a major data transformation. The investment has been made, the core platform is established and the foundations are there. The challenge now is to take ownership of what comes next. You'll have genuine influence over the technical direction of an enterprise Microsoft Fabric platform, significant autonomy in how it evolves and the opportunity to work closely with an experienced Head of Data who is looking for a technical partner , rather than simply another engineer. For someone who has already developed strong Microsoft Fabric expertise and is now looking for greater ownership, technical leadership and the opportunity to shape a platform over the long term , this represents a genuine next step.
