We’re hiring an AI Pre-Sales Consultant to join a growing, data consultancy.

This is a key role focused on building and driving AI capability across the business. You’ll work closely with sales, delivery and leadership to shape how AI is positioned to clients, create pipeline, and help win new work.

• Support bids, tenders and proposals (including public sector)
• Work with sales teams to create and convert pipeline
• Help define the AI offering and go-to-market strategy
• Contribute to thought leadership, events and marketing activity
• Support existing accounts to open up new AI opportunities
• You’ll become the go-to person for AI, with real ownership to build this area out.

What we’re looking for

• Background in pre-sales, solution architecture & consulting
• Strong commercial mindset, able to identify and develop opportunities
• Experience running client workshops and shaping programmes of work
• Good understanding of AI use cases and business value
• Comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders
• Collaborative approach, working across sales and delivery teams

Nice to have:

• Experience within a Microsoft / Azure data environment
• Exposure to Fabric, Foundry, Copilot or Azure AI services
• Awareness of tools like Databricks
• Experience supporting POCs, demos or AI engagements

Why this role:

• Opportunity to own and shape AI capability within an established consultancy
• High visibility role with direct impact on growth
• Backed by an existing data science and delivery function
• Clear path to grow into a lead / practice role over time
