Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

• Substantial experience in programme delivery, organisational change, L&D, or a related discipline, with a track record of delivering complex, cross-functional programmes that changed how people work, not just what tools they have access to.
• Genuine understanding and enthusiasm for AI, with working fluency in tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, or n8n, and serious thought given to how these tools change the way knowledge work gets done.
• Demonstrable experience owning a programme end-to-end, covering planning, stakeholder management, risk, reporting, and delivery, rather than just coordinating activity.
• People management experience, including setting direction, supporting development, and holding a team member accountable with care.
• Strong stakeholder management across levels, from operational staff through to executive sponsors, with the confidence to hold a position and the judgment to know when to flex.
• Community-building or engagement experience, such as running networks, managing online communities, or building champion or advocate programmes at scale.
• Clear, structured written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to write for multiple audiences, from a staff digest to a board update to an investor story.
• Comfortable building from scratch, able to make decisions quickly without waiting for everything to be fully defined.
• Experience in the financial sector or fund management (desirable).
• Experience with data and analytics (desirable).
• A pragmatic, action-oriented approach to ambiguity, balancing structure with the flexibility needed in a fast-evolving programme.
• Ability to translate complex or technical AI concepts into practical guidance for non-specialist audiences across the organisation.
