Senior Manager (National Security)

Faculty
London
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 Government and 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 protecting children from harmful online content - 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 customers from time to time.

About The Role

As a Senior Manager within our National Security team, you’ll lead mission 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 keeping the UK and its citizens safe.

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

  • Overseeing, and providing thought leadership on, the delivery of multiple programmes of work for the National Security community, including strategy, R&D, and product builds.
  • Forming strong, trusting relationships with Government customers, data scientists and wider networks of National Security practitioners.
  • Developing and owning compelling proposals to grow our National Security portfolio.
  • Advising clients on AI strategy and technical implementation, acting as a trusted partner and consultant.
  • Mentoring and developing team members, aligning their responsibilities with the critically important National Security work for which we’re responsible.
  • Supporting wider delivery work as a Senior Manager when needed business to ensure maximum strategic flexibility and commercial impact.

Who We're Looking For

  • You bring proven experience in National Security safety, possibly from Government, academia, or roles in industry.
  • You have a demonstrable interest and understanding of AI and ML concepts and can think creatively about their application for a range of National Security challenges.
  • You understand the commercial consulting delivery model, allowing you to focus immediately on account growth and project oversight.
  • You possess the flexibility to support broader Senior Manager work and embrace an entrepreneurial approach to a highly visible portfolio.
  • You thrive in ambiguous settings and demonstrate a structured approach to problem-solving and delivering high-quality, high-stakes projects.
