£100k-£120k

\n
We’re partnering with a high-growth consumer brand to hire their first AI Automation Lead — a pivotal role focused on scaling the business to £50M+ ARR without proportional headcount growth.
\n
\n
This is a rare opportunity to build an AI-first operating system inside a real, revenue-generating business — not a sandbox.
\n
\n
The Role
\n
You’ll work directly with senior leadership to identify, build, and deploy automation across the business — from supply chain to retail operations.
\n
This is a hands-on builder role with strategic influence.
\n
\n
What you'll be doing
\n
- \n
- Design and implement end-to-end automation workflows across ops, supply chain, and B2B retail
- Build agent-based systems to replace manual processes
- Standardise and own the company-wide AI tooling stack
- Run workshops to identify high-impact use cases across teams
- Drive adoption and training for non-technical users
- Continuously improve and maintain workflows (not just ship and leave)
