AI Delivery Lead

About SapienAI SapienAI is Europe's fastest-growing pure-play Anthropic partner, AI-native from day one and built on 15 years of business change and technology consulting experience. We help ambitious organisations put Claude to work on the use cases that actually deliver business value: activating an everyday AI partner for their people in Cowork, accelerating their engineers with Claude Code, and building agentic solutions that reinvent how day-to-day work gets done. We move fast, because most of our clients don't have the patience for a two-year transformation programme, and neither do we. We don't stop at the technology. We co-build alongside our Customers as trusted advisors, embedded in their teams, and we help them manage the people side of AI adoption. That's what enablement means to us: building the AI fluency and confidence that translates into smarter people, smarter processes, and transformative products for our Customers. About the Role As an AI Delivery Lead at SapienAI, you'll own the full lifecycle of AI engagements that change how our customers build and run their businesses. You're the single accountable lead throughout, from ideation and activation through to enablement and ongoing innovation. This isn't a traditional project management role. You're the trusted advisor customer sponsors and executives come to, working alongside our team of Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) to make sure an engagement genuinely shifts how the customer works with Claude, not just that it finishes on time. You'll typically be running several engagements at once. Across them, you'll manage our FDEs day to day and oversee the training and enablement that gets customer teams comfortable with Claude. You'll help them think through governance and risk as adoption grows, and work with them on where the next use case should come from.
