About the Role

We are looking for an AI Programme Manager to join Matillion, the intelligent data integration platform. This role focuses on embedding AI into how we work, scale, and win, ensuring AI initiatives deliver scalable, governed, high-ROI systems that demonstrably increase our organizational velocity.

Key Responsibilities

→Define and maintain the internal AI roadmap, prioritising high-impact, low-risk automations that drive measurable business outcomes
→Lead cross-functional AI initiatives across the business, ensuring alignment with architectural standards, security governance, and ROI targets
→Drive the cultural shift to an "AI-First" mindset—developing training programs, managing change, and reducing "AI anxiety" across non-technical teams
→Define and report KPIs such as "Hours Reclaimed," "Process Velocity," and "Cost per Automation," delivering quarterly impact reports to the executive team
→Act as the bridge between technical and non-technical stakeholders, translating AI complexity into actionable strategy and holding teams accountable for delivery

Requirements

✓Demonstrable experience in Programme Management or PMO roles within high-growth SaaS environments, with a track record of delivering complex, cross-functional initiatives
✓Understanding of LLMs, API integrations, and RAG architectures—you don't need to code, but you must challenge timelines and technical approaches and be able to have technical discussions
✓Tenacious delivery mindset: you prefer "deployed and iterative" over "perfect and delayed," and you hold yourself and others accountable for results
✓Strategic thinker who can operate across the entire business, influencing senior stakeholders and driving adoption without direct authority
✓Empathetic leader who can move teams away from legacy manual processes, building trust and driving change through influence, not force
