The Role Are you ready to accelerate the AI evolution of the world's most innovative racing series? We're looking for an AI Change Manager to join our fast-paced team on a 12-month Fixed-Term Contract (FTC). You will act as a strategic change lead to drive impactful AI adoption within our business, enabling our teams to transition from basic productivity tools to AI-native architectures. You will discover, design and spearhead AI-enabled workflows that unlock measurable ROI. But you won't be acting as a technical service desk; instead, you will bridge the gap between high-level business strategy and technical execution, serving as the ultimate catalyst for Google Cloud Platform-based innovation. Discover & Design New Ways of Working: You will map business processes across diverse units (including Commercial, Marketing and Event Operations) to identify high-impact AI use cases, focusing on data readiness, model feasibility and measurable outcomes. You will pull together all necessary stakeholders to facilitate the design of AI solutions, from RAG patterns to automated agents. Drive Change Management & Adoption: You will drive business-wide, impactful AI adoption by leading monthly AI Change Readiness meetings and maintaining project roadmaps and prioritisation matrixes to enable effective decision making and allocation of resource and attention. By establishing robust deployment frameworks and change management principles, you will ensure teams roll out AI-enabled ways of working effectively and securely, while showcasing successes across the company to empower internal AI Champions. Support Technical Implementation & Architecture: Working hand in hand with the Technology team, you will ensure all new AI solutions align seamlessly with our broader Data and Cloud architecture. You will champion prompt engineering and data governance best practices, and facilitate the setup of secure development environments and sandboxes, ensuring internal teams have the tools to build and test their own automated solutions while minimising security risks. What we're looking for in you The AI & Cloud Navigator: You bring proven, hands on experience with the GenAI landscape (LLMs, RAG, and Agentic workflows) alongside a solid working knowledge of Data Engineering and Cloud Computing principles.

The Changemaker: You are an exceptional facilitator, experienced change manager and strong communicator who can collaborate with data engineers and commercial directors with equal ease. You excel at driving AI enabled change through bringing people together, challenging existing ways of thinking and distilling complex technical concepts, such as vector databases, LLM orchestration and API integrations, into accessible, relatable business contexts for non technical stakeholders. The Solution Architect: Highly comfortable with workflow assessment, you can evaluate business processes for AI readiness, judge where a low code solution suffices versus where custom Machine Learning models are required and determine associated opportunities and risks. You have a strong understanding of how data quality, structure and governance impact performance, and you can map out a rigorous, prioritised roadmap to turn business concepts into reality, hold process owners accountable and keep senior stakeholders engaged. The Progressive Challenger: You bring a pragmatic, "can do" mentality and a passion for technology's positive impact. Most importantly, you are excited by the potential for motorsport to be a platform for sustainable human progress and are willing to stand up and be an advocate for change. Benefits 25 days' annual leave, Birthday day off and Wellbeing leave Health Cash Plan and access to the Aviva Digital Workplace app Enhanced Parental Leave Flexible Bank Holidays Paid volunteer and carer's leave Cycle to Work and Electric Car Scheme Formula E store discount Regular social events and employee working groups This is a hybrid role and you'll be required to do 3 days a week in our Hammersmith London office.
