## Description

As a Senior Manager at Faculty, you will lead client relationships and deliver high-stakes AI systems across education publishing, assessment organisations, and learning platforms.

You will take full commercial accountability for project delivery quality, account growth, and profit margins while bridging the gap between executive sponsors and technical teams.

By shaping strategy and converting initial partnerships into multi-year programmes, you will help education leaders safely deploy effective, evidence-backed AI solutions at scale.

Responsibilities:

- Overseeing the delivery of end-to-end AI build and assurance project portfolios across the education sector, securing high-quality outcomes and managing commercial margins.

- Forming and maintaining trusted executive relationships, proactively managing customer expectations, and expanding accounts into multi-year programmes.

- Leading multidisciplinary squads of data scientists and engineers while mentoring team members to align project responsibilities with professional growth.

- Developing compelling, problem-led proposals and sales pitches that convert client challenges into funded growth opportunities.

- Advising clients on AI strategy, articulating value across diverse commercial contexts, and identifying risks early to implement mitigating actions.

- Partnering with AI safety and evaluation specialists to ensure validity, fairness, and robust evidence are designed directly into delivery from day one.

Requirements:

- You bring a proven track record of leading the delivery of data, AI, or software products with full commercial accountability and team development experience.

- You offer strong credibility with senior executives alongside a preference for background experience within education publishing, assessment, or platform ecosystems.

- You possess a deep understanding of product economics, delivery models, and commercial drivers within educational technology, structured pricing, and fast-paced settings.

- You grasp the critical validity, safety, and fairness concerns of AI in education, appreciating why evidence matters before scaling solutions.

- You demonstrate sufficient technical depth to evaluate a data scientist’s delivery plan, guide Agile project teams, and explain complex results to non-technical leaders.

- You welcome the opportunity to leverage wider UK or international education policy knowledge and an established sector network as a valuable asset.
