Why Faculty?
We established Faculty in 2014 because we thought that AI would be the most important technology of our time. Since then, we've worked with over 350 global customers to transform their performance through human-centric AI. You can read about our real-world impact here .
We don't chase hype cycles. We innovate, build and deploy responsible AI which moves the needle - and we know a thing or two about doing it well. We bring an unparalleled depth of technical, product and delivery expertise to our clients who span government, finance, retail, energy, life sciences and defence.
Our business, and reputation, is growing fast and we're always on the lookout for individuals who share our intellectual curiosity and desire to build a positive legacy through technology.
AI is an epoch-defining technology, join a company where you'll be empowered to envision its most powerful applications, and to make them happen.
About the team
Our Public Services Business Unit is committed to leveraging AI for the benefit of individual citizens and the public good.
From our work informing strategic government decisions, to optimising our NHS, through to reducing bureaucratic backlogs - we know that AI offers opportunities to drive improvements at every level of Government and we are proud to lead on some of the most impactful work happening in the sector.
Because of the nature of the work we do with our Government clients, you may need to be eligible for UK Security Clearance (SC) and willing to work on site with these clients from time to time.
About the role
As a Senior Manager within our Public Services team, you'll lead critical work for discerning and highly AI literate customers in the UK Government and for international partners. This is a fast paced and demanding role which, in addition to mission area context, requires programme delivery mastery and an ability to think thoughtfully and creatively about the role for AI in the core public services we utilise on a daily basis.
You can expect to lead portfolios of work for our customers, which range from experimental applications of emerging technologies, to products that we progress through a complete development lifecycle and deploy for users in Government.
What you'll be doing:
- Managing the delivery of multiple, complex programmes of work for our Public Services clients including strategy, R&D, and product builds.
- Overseeing a portfolio of projects across multiple facets of the Public Services including the Home Office, Department for Education and others.
- Developing and owning compelling proposals to grow our Public Sector portfolio.
- Mentoring and developing team members, aligning their responsibilities with the critically important Public Services work for which we're responsible.
- Working strategically to deliver meaningful outcomes for public sector organisations rather than just focusing on outputs.
- Forming strong, trusted relationships with senior government customers and collaborating closely with other consulting partners where needed
- Advising clients on AI strategy and technical implementation, engaging confidently in technical discussions with directors.
- Supporting wider business efforts as a Senior Manager to ensure maximum strategic flexibility and commercial impact.
Who we're looking for
- You bring a strong background in leading complex, large-scale transformation programs within the Public Services domain
- You have a proven track record of delivering GDS-style digital products and operationalising AI-enabled services in Government
- You demonstrate experience across Government, academia, or industry, with a deep understanding of public sector needs
- You show a genuine passion for AI and ML, with the creativity to translate these concepts into real-world applications
- You understand commercial consulting models and excel at driving account growth and project oversight
- You apply a structured, thoughtful approach to problem-solving to consistently deliver high-quality work on critical projects

Our Recruitment Ethos
We aim to grow the best team - not the most similar one. We know that diversity of individuals fosters diversity of thought, and that strengthens our principle of seeking truth. And we know from experience that diverse teams deliver better work, relevant to the world in which we live. We're united by a deep intellectual curiosity and desire to use our abilities for measurable positive impact. We strongly encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, genders, religions and sexual orientations.
If you don't feel you meet all the requirements, but are excited by the role and know you bring some key strengths, please don't hesitate in applying as you might be right for this role, or other roles. We are open to conversations about part-time hours.
A note on AI: we're happy for you to use it for research and interview prep, but please don't use it to generate answers during live interviews. We also use an AI note-taker (Metaview) in interviews so interviewers can stay present (which you can opt out of just let us know,) and every application is reviewed by a human, never decided by AI.
