Director of Data and AI
New Yesterday
Location: Hybrid - 3 days in office, flexible remote
Package: up to 180,000 + significant equity + benefits
About the Role
We're partnering with a high-growth start-up building AI solutions for a multi-billion-dollar industry - a business set to set the AI world alight.
This is a retained executive search to identify and secure a visionary Director of Data and AI who can architect the future of AI.
You'll be building the world's most sophisticated unstructured data processing platform, capable of handling millions of documents, images, and complex data types - all analysed in real time to transform how industries understand and act on their data.
This is not just another data leadership role - it's the chance to design and deliver enterprise-scale data infrastructure from the ground up, in a company that's moving fast and scaling aggressively.
As the Director of Data and AI, you'll blend start-up agility with enterprise-grade engineering to create the data foundation that powers next-generation AI capabilities.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect scalable, real-time data platforms for multi-agent AI systems.
- Create ETL and streaming pipelines for complex formats - PDFs, images, emails, forms - across thousands of workflows.
- Lead and grow a high-performing data engineering team.
- Design and implement governance, privacy, and compliance frameworks for highly regulated environments.
- Work closely with AI/ML engineering teams to optimise data for model training and inference.
We're Looking For Someone Who Has:
- Designed, built, and delivered enterprise data platforms from the ground up in both early-stage start-ups and large enterprises
- Led teams delivering AI/ML-powered systems at massive scale
- Mastered unstructured data, compliance, and cloud platforms
- Proven DevOps exposure - CI/CD, Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code
- Experience in regulated industries such as insurance, fintech, or healthcare
Why This Role Stands Out
- Architect the data backbone for an AI platform set to disrupt a multi-billion-dollar industry.
- Work on unprecedented technical challenges in unstructured data and AI integration.
- High-impact leadership role with significant equity in a scaling start-up.
- Hybrid flexibility with 3 days in the office for high-value collaboration.
- Up to 180,000 salary plus benefits
- Complete ownership of the data strategy
If you have the vision, technical depth, and leadership track record to build the data systems that will shape the future of AI, we'd love to chat to you. We are closing the shortlist on Monday 18th August.
