You don't need to be a technical expert, but you will love learning and care about responsible use of AI technologies and our role in shaping technology and society. * Comfortable looking after the commercial side of relationships. You'll make sure our current clients are thriving, while naturally helping them with new needs as their AI journey evolves. You’ll have a track record of spotting new commercial opportunities to win new business. * Self-starter who thrives with autonomy and can manage multiple client projects simultaneously. * You’ll be comfortable working with digital tools in a safe and responsible way. * Aligned with our mission and values - you want your work to create positive change and will champion our values publicly. Desirable: * A solid understanding of organisational change management or corporate governance.
