About the Role:

We're seeking an organised and proactive Event Coordinator to join us temporarily, supporting our Regional Member Engagement team based in Edinburgh.

• Naturally organised, proactive, and adept at juggling multiple tasks at once.

• A clear, confident communicator comfortable engaging professionally at all levels, including senior stakeholders.

• Experienced with supporting or coordinating events and aware of the logistical challenges involved.

• Comfortable using Microsoft Outlook, Teams, Excel, and ideally familiar with platforms like Eventbrite.

• Bonus if you're adept with social media platforms (e.g., LinkedIn, X), but this isn't essential.

• Quick learner, able to pick up new systems and processes independently.

We're supporting a global organisation in the search for a Director of AI Engineering to lead a growing team building real-world AI solutions that make a difference — from image analysis in trials to enterprise-wide automation tools.
This isn't a figurehead role. You'll be hands-on in defining what gets built, how it gets scaled, and how your team delivers lasting value across the business. The focus is on reusable, production-ready AI, not one-off POCs.
The Role:
You'll manage 5 direct reports and oversee a wider team of 50, with a remit to deliver scalable, enterprise-grade solutions. There's huge scope here the business has invested heavily in their AI capability and needs someone who can own both the strategy and execution.
Day-to-day, you'll collaborate with product and technical teams to identify pain points, shape AI initiatives, and embed them across operations, science, and internal tooling.
What You'll Need:

• PhD in Computer Science, AI, or related field
• Hands-on AI/ML delivery experience ideally in NLP, computer vision, and probabilistic methods
• Strong Python skills and familiarity with modern cloud ML platforms
• Experience building and leading engineering teams in a commercial or regulated environment
• A consulting mindset — able to partner across departments, translate business needs, and create real impact

• You'll join a business where AI is already embedded and backed — this isn't “innovation theatre”
• Work that directly contributes to smarter science and more efficient decision-making
• Strong internal tech community and the chance to shape a core engineering function
