About the role

The Head of AI Insight is a senior leadership role accountable for building and scaling client's next-generation AI Insight capability.

Your purpose is to define and deliver a step-change in how insight is generated, distributed and consumed across the Group, moving to a unified, conversational, proactive AI insight layer built on the Central Data Layer (CDL).

This role goes beyond traditional BI or analytics leadership. It requires redefining the paradigm of insight consumption from pull-based reporting to AI-driven push, nudging and decision support, enabled through semantic abstraction, conversational access, and multi-channel delivery.

You will lead the development of the vision and associated architectures (including Claude-enabled interaction models), ensuring these are translated into production-grade, scalable capabilities adopted across the business.
