The Senior Manager - AI Enablement, reporting to the Head of Enterprise Data, will lead one of the most high-impact transformations underway at Angle Auto Finance - how we adopt AI to improve customer experiences, uplift our people, and drive measurable business outcomes. This is a rare opportunity to shape the organisation’s AI direction and ways of working: setting the standards, building the community, and turning the most valuable ideas into real solutions that are used every day.
You will run the AI Centre of Excellence (CoE) and AI Community of Practice (CoP), partner with leaders across the business to prioritise and deliver high-value use cases, and establish clear measures of adoption and benefits realisation. The role blends hands-on AI delivery experience (including GenAI and AI agents) with strong leadership - ensuring solutions are safe, scalable, and embedded into operations. You will also manage strategic vendor relationships to accelerate delivery while building sustainable internal capability.
Core Responsibilities;
Establish and run an enterprise AI enablement program (training, playbooks, standards, and support) to increase adoption and capability across the business, including ownership of the AI Centre of Excellence (CoE)
Run the AI Community of Practice (CoP) to build practical capability, share reusable patterns and lessons learned, and connect business champions and delivery teams.
Own the AI use case intake and prioritisation process, partnering with business leaders to define outcomes, success measures, and delivery plans.
Lead delivery (directly and via squads/partners) of priority AI initiatives, ensuring solutions are productionised, adopted, and delivering measurable business value.
Define and embed an AI value tracking approach (benefits hypotheses, baselines, adoption metrics, and realised value reporting) aligned to Angle’s strategic pillars (growth, efficiency, experience, and risk & control).
Partner with Risk, Legal/Compliance, Security, and Data Governance to implement lightweight Responsible AI guardrails (privacy, security, auditability, and human oversight) for all AI solutions.
Own the AI enablement toolchain and patterns (e.g., approved AI assistants, AI agent frameworks, evaluation approach, prompt libraries, and reusable integration patterns) in collaboration with Technology teams.
Maintain a strong hands-on engineering posture: develop and/or oversee reference implementations for LLM applications and AI agents (e.g., orchestration frameworks such as LangChain or equivalent), including API design, integration patterns, automated evaluation, and production monitoring.
Manage strategic AI vendor and partner relationships end-to-end (selection input, commercials, governance, delivery assurance, and knowledge transfer), partnering with Procurement and Technology to ensure value-for-money and sustainable internal uplift.
Qualifications;
Relevant degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, Commerce, or similar, and/or equivalent practical experience.
Certifications or training in cloud/AI platforms (e.g., Microsoft, AWS, Google) and/or product, agile, or change management - desirable.
Experience;
Extensive experience across data, analytics, software, or digital delivery roles, with recent hands-on experience delivering AI solutions into production.
Demonstrated experience leading enterprise enablement and adoption programs (training, communications, playbooks, and support) that drive sustained behaviour change.
Proven ability to build AI business cases and deliver measurable outcomes, including defining KPIs, baselines, and benefits realisation approaches.
Experience with GenAI and AI agent patterns (e.g., RAG, tool/function calling, evaluation), plus familiarity with model risk concepts (hallucinations, bias, privacy, prompt injection).
Hands-on engineering experience building and deploying LLM applications and AI agents (e.g., using LangChain or similar frameworks), including prompt/version control, evaluation, CI/CD, observability, and safe-by-design patterns.
Strong understanding of enterprise technology environments (identity/access, data platforms, SDLC, DevOps) and ability to partner effectively with Engineering, Security, and Risk teams.
Experience in financial services or other regulated environments, including governance, privacy, and auditability expectations - desirable.
Strong hands-on software engineering background, with experience building LLM-enabled products (RAG and agentic workflows) using frameworks such as LangChain (or equivalent) and integrating them into enterprise platforms.
Experience managing vendors/partners, ensuring delivery outcomes and capability uplift for internal teams.
