7+ years' experience delivering AI, ML, or intelligent automation solutions - ideally within fast-moving commercial environments.

Proven track record embedding AI into operations (e.g., claims automation, NLP-driven workflows, predictive modelling, or GenAI-powered chat and decision tools).

If you thrive in fast-paced, outcome-driven environments and love seeing AI make a real impact, this is the perfect next step.

If you're an AI delivery leader who's built, deployed, and scaled AI systems - and you're ready to help shape the future of one of Ireland's most established financial brands - apply in confidence today.

If you've ever wanted to take AI from proof-of-concept to production - driving change across real business functions - this is it.

Experience leading small, agile delivery teams or pods focused on measurable outcomes.

Hands-on familiarity with Python and modern AI tooling (LLMs, MLOps, or automation platforms).

Excellent stakeholder management - able to translate technical complexity into commercial impact.

Experience within financial services, insurance, fintech, or other large regulated sectors is beneficial but not essential.

The autonomy to shape delivery teams, pipelines, and frameworks.

Strong understanding of end-to-end AI delivery: data pipelines, model build, deployment, monitoring, and value tracking.

This is a hands-on leadership role - ideal for someone who's just as comfortable designing a delivery roadmap as they are reviewing an architecture or evaluating model performance.
