• Support delivery of AI / Machine Learning / Data products, including GenAI and LLM-based solutions
• Drive Agile delivery practices (Scrum / SAFe), facilitating ceremonies and ensuring continuous improvement
• Contribute to roadmaps, benefits realisation, and long-term product strategy
• Work closely with data and engineering teams across cloud-based environments (AWS / Azure)

• Experience working with large, complex datasets and analytical workflows

Why This Role?

• Work on mission-critical systems used across UK government and law enforcement
• Be part of a growing AI and data capability shaping the future of public services
