Job Client Lead, AI, Gunnedah

LEAD, AI CLIENT SOLUTIONS / SYDNEY OR MELBOURNE

This opportunity sits within a 1,300+ person global data and AI business with over two decades of analytics heritage and 13 international offices.

The AI vertical itself has grown from a team of one to approximately 40–50 specialists in under two years and is positioned as a core growth engine for the broader organisation. The team is currently delivering across major Australian enterprises including a leading national retailer, a Big Four bank, multiple top-tier law firms, mining operators and global recruitment businesses.

Work is shifting rapidly toward large-scale AI deployment, with the delivery component expected to represent roughly 50% of total workload within the next six months.

The Opportunity

You will own enterprise AI engagements from discovery through to production deployment.

This includes:

• Leading multi-stream AI programs valued in the mid to high six figures and beyond
• Running fortnightly sprint cadence with weekly client rhythm
• Managing cross-functional teams of consultants, hybrids and technical specialists
• Driving MVP builds often delivered within 3–4 weeks
• Scaling validated pilots into production with client IT teams
• Acting as the accountable delivery lead across engagements

The team currently operates entirely onshore across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, with Sydney representing approximately 70% of the AI practice.

The Business Model

The broader firm combines:

• Multi-year enterprise programs
• Scalable AI system deployment
• Product development and IP creation
• Long-term client partnerships

The ambition for the AI practice is to increasingly build reusable solutions and deploy scalable systems rather than operate purely as an advisory function.

What We’re Looking For

You will likely bring:

• Experience leading AI, data or digital transformation programs
• Strong commercial and delivery accountability
• Intellectual horsepower and structured thinking
• High technical curiosity and fluency
• Credibility with data scientists and engineers
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and rapid growth

Leads may be technically deep or delivery-led with strong technical literacy. In both cases, ownership and accountability are non-negotiable.

Why This Role

• 1,300+ person global data & AI firm
• 40–50 person fast-scaling AI vertical
• Enterprise programs across retail, banking, legal, mining and financial services
• Rapid shift toward production deployment
• High bar, low bureaucracy environment

Location: Sydney preferred, Melbourne considered
Compensation: $180-230k inclusive super, plus 10% bonus
