Job Description


Head of Data & AI – £120k - 140k – Assurance‑Grade Infrastructure – Global SaaS


AI Governance | Data Architecture | ISSA 5000 | EU AI Act | PCAF | Sustainability | Regulated Environments | Distributed Teams | Enterprise | UK HQ | Remote | Infrastructure | Compliance | Risk | GRC |


Do you want to lead the Data & AI function for a company building the infrastructure layer that connects governance, risk, compliance, and sustainability reporting?


A business that isn’t wrapping chatbots, but engineering assurance‑grade systems where enterprises can prove what they report, not just publish it?


A genuine opportunity to operate at the intersection of AI governance, data architecture, and regulated‑market engineering, partnering directly with FTSE 250 sustainability leaders and GCC enterprise execs.


You’ll take ownership of 30+ platform solutions end‑to‑end, architecture through to client delivery while leading a distributed engineering team of 20+ high performers. You’ll translate complex technical concepts into clarity for C‑suite clients, and you’ll build, not optimise. This is a founding‑team position with real equity and real impact.


If you’ve shipped data/AI products in regulated environments, understand why sustainability data needs the same rigour as financial data, and want to build something category‑defining, this is your arena.


The package includes performance‑linked compensation, and a virtual‑first global workplace (UK‑headquartered, EMEA enterprise markets).


If it hits the mark, don’t hang about apply or reach out to Sophia.weedon@opusrs.com
