The UK has named AI adoption as the single most powerful lever for kickstarting growth and productivity across the economy. techUK's members are the companies building the solutions that will make that happen - in industry, in public services, and everywhere in between. We're looking for a Head of AI Adoption to lead our push to turn that potential into everyday reality.

This is a high-profile, senior role at the heart of techUK's fast-paced Tech and Innovation programme, which spans AI, robotics, quantum, digital ID and more. Working directly for the Director of Technology and Innovation, you'll shape and deliver techUK's strategy for accelerating responsible AI adoption across UK industry - starting with the Industrial Strategy sectors identified as holding the greatest potential for UK success. You'll also take the reins of techUK's new AI Adoption Coalition, a partnership across the IS-8 sectors' trade associations, and be the person who makes it succeed.

You'll build relationships with policymakers, industry leaders and civil society; run roundtables, working groups and flagship events including techUK's annual AI conference; and make sure everything we say and do on AI adoption is credible, coherent and genuinely useful to our members - in step with techUK's wider AI policy and AI assurance work.

Key Responsibilities

• Own techUK's AI adoption strategy - positions, messaging and activity, ensuring it stays relevant, credible and influential.
• Be a visible, active presence in the UK's AI ecosystem: speaking at events, representing techUK, and building genuine relationships with industry leaders and key stakeholders.
• Act as secretariat for techUK's AI Adoption Coalition and new AI Forum, scoping, planning and delivering their events and working groups.
• Lead delivery of techUK's flagship AI activity - reports, insight series, roundtables, dinners, focus weeks and summits including writing the agenda, booking speakers and securing sponsors for techUK's annual AI conference each January.
• Track the AI adoption debate closely, building close ties with the AI community and turning insight into a calendar of high-impact activity.
• Champion the programme externally through articles, speaking engagements and networking.
