AI Strategy Consultant Location: Onsite, Andover (min 3 days per week) Security Clearance: must currently hold Security Clearance (SC) Project Duration: 4 weeks Role Overview This role supports a first-phase discovery and strategy engagement as an AI advisor, accountable for delivering defined outcomes within the scope. The consultant will work with project members to translate complex business challenges into actionable, AI enabled solutions. Leveraging deep technical expertise and senior stakeholder advisory, the consultant shapes the AI agenda from discovery through to strategic roadmap delivery, ensuring recommendations are technically sound, commercially viable, and ready for transition into implementation. Key Responsibilities Lead AI discovery and assessment activities, facilitating structured workshops with senior stakeholders to identify and prioritise high value use cases against business objectives, technical feasibility, and organisational readiness.

Support the production of a high level business case and phased delivery roadmap, articulating value drivers, investment requirements, risk mitigations, and dependencies to support executive decision making. Provide technical guidance across the AI landscape including generative AI, agentic systems, retrieval augmented generation, fine tuning, MLOps, and on premise/cloud native ML platforms, ensuring recommendations are grounded in implementation reality. Collaborate with the client's internal teams (programme management, data engineering, architecture, delivery, change) and third party partners to ensure the strategy is adoptable and transits cleanly into delivery phases. Establish success criteria and measurement frameworks so the client can track AI value realisation beyond the engagement. Required Experience & Qualifications Demonstrable experience in technology consulting or comparable advisory roles, with at least 3 years focused on AI/ML strategy, data driven transformation, or advanced analytics. Experience in Defence, National Security, or other regulated sectors with understanding of security cleared environments and sovereign technology constraints.

Deep technical fluency across modern AI/ML stacks: on premise and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), MLOps tooling, LLM orchestration frameworks, data engineering pipelines, and AI governance. Exceptional ability to translate technical complexity into strategic narratives for non technical senior stakeholders. Strong commercial and delivery awareness, including experience with outcome based models and phased programme planning. Eligibility Candidates holding or who have held high level security clearance are most welcome. Successful applicants will be required to be security cleared prior to appointment, which can take a minimum of 10 weeks. EEO Statement We are committed to fostering an inclusive, equitable and accessible workplace where everyone feels valued and supported.

Senior Python Engineer / Cloud-Native Software Developer AWS Terraform Serverless CI/CD SC / DV Cleared We are supporting a secure government programme looking to hire an experienced Senior Python Engineer / Cloud-Native Software Developer to join a highly technical software engineering team operating within a modern AWS environment. This is not a traditional Python developer role focused purely on coding. The successful candidate will need to combine strong Python software engineering capability with genuine hands on experience working within cloud native AWS environments - including deployment, integration, automation and CI/CD ownership. The team operates within a serverless, event driven architecture and requires engineers who are comfortable building solutions end to end, from software development through to cloud deployment and operational integration. Role Overview The engineering team is building and supporting modern cloud-native applications within a highly agile environment. The successful candidate will work closely with software engineers, DevOps/platform engineers, delivery teams and technical leadership to design, build and deploy scalable AWS-based solutions. The role requires someone who is equally comfortable: writing high-quality Python code, building APIs and backend services, integrating with AWS cloud components, and deploying solutions through modern CI/CD pipelines. This role would suit someone who has worked within modern software engineering teams rather than siloed development environments where deployment and cloud ownership sits elsewhere. Key Responsibilities Develop scalable backend applications and services using Python Build and maintain cloud-native applications within AWS environments Deploy and integrate solutions using Terraform and CI/CD pipelines Work across serverless and event-driven architectures Integrate software with AWS services including Lambda, API Gateway, SQS/SNS and EventBridge Support automated deployments and release processes Contribute towards software engineering best practices, testing and operational resilience Work closely with wider engineering and delivery teams in agile sprint environments Troubleshoot and optimise cloud-native applications and deployments Core Technical Skills Strong Python software engineering experience AWS cloud experience Terraform / Infrastructure as Code CI/CD pipeline engineering Serverless architecture Event-driven systems API development Integration testing and automated deployment Experience working within modern software engineering teams Strong understanding of cloud-native application delivery Highly Desirable AWS certifications (Developer / DevOps / Solutions Architect) AWS Lambda API Gateway SQS / SNS EventBridge Docker / Kubernetes GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Jenkins FastAPI / Flask DevOps or platform engineering exposure AI / LLM integration exposure Secure government or regulated environment experience Active SC, enhanced SC or DV clearance Environment The wider programme is heavily focused around: cloud-native software engineering, AWS serverless architecture, CI/CD and automation, modern engineering delivery, AI-enabled capability, and agile software development practices. The team operates in a highly collaborative engineering environment and requires individuals who can contribute independently without heavy hand-holding around cloud integration and deployment activities. Location / Working Pattern Hybrid working London-based team Majority remote with onsite collaboration for sprint ceremonies/workshops Clearance Active SC, enhanced SC or DV clearance is highly desirable. Candidates with previous secure government experience and eligibility for clearance may also be considered.
