Artefact UK - H2 2026
Director Job Description
Artefact is a new generation of data and AI consultancy, and one of the fastest growing. In the last six months alone we've grown
from 2,000 to 2,500 people, now serving over 3,000 clients across 36 offices in 27 countries. Founded in 2014 and backed by
Cinven, we're Europe's largest pureplay consultancy in data and AI, and we're not slowing down.
We specialise in data consulting and AI-driven transformation, working with organisations across the globe to turn data into
measurable business impact, creating real change in how businesses operate, compete, and grow. With 40% of our people in
consulting roles, we have the critical mass to deliver full transformation at scale. We don't just offer strategies. We frame
problems, design solutions, build the technology, and operate what we deliver. That distinction, between those who propose and
those who implement, is central to how we work.
We're technology-agnostic but technology-deep. We hold premium partnerships with the platforms shaping this industry, including
Google, Anthropic, OpenAI, Databricks, and AWS, giving our consultants direct access to the newest capabilities before they reach
the mainstream. Half of our projects involve collaboration across more than two offices, so the expertise you need is never far
away, and our teams bring together AI specialists, data scientists, data engineers, and digital experts: the full range of talent
required to reach the last mile of a transformation.
Progression here is earned, not timed. We don't run on tenure. We run on impact, and strong performers move fast. If you want to
build things that matter, at a pace that matches your ambition, this is where you do it.
Our UK office is at an inflection point. We've built the foundations of a category-defining consultancy, and now we're scaling,
fast. The shape of the team a year from now will look very different to today. Join now, and you're building the office before
Artefact becomes a name every top consultant already knows.
We work across a broad range of industries, including Retail Banking, Insurance, Private Equity, Energy & Utilities, Retail &
E-commerce, CPG & FMCG, and Automotive, giving consultants the space to build real depth in one or two areas while staying
genuinely exposed to others. It's one of the things people here value most.
Our engagements run end to end, from strategy and governance through to delivery of high value data and AI solutions. The problems
we work on are the ones organisations are genuinely wrestling with right now: Data Platform Strategy and Build, Generative AI
Strategy, Agentic AI Strategy & Deployment, AI Governance and Assurance, Digital Transformation, and AI Adoption and Change. This
work needs people who can operate at a strategic level in the morning and get into the technical weeds in the afternoon, and know
when to do which.
If that's the kind of work you want to be doing, we'd love to hear from you. We're looking for people who are genuinely energised
by AI and data, and who want a hand in shaping how organisations and how people work change for the better.
As a Director at Artefact UK, you will operate at the intersection of AI and data strategy, client leadership, and commercial
growth. Reporting to the Partners and Managing Director, you own the AI and data agenda across a portfolio of clients, with Tech
Leads and Managers reporting to you and running the day-to-day delivery of the engagements within it. This is a role for someone
who is equally comfortable shaping a client's AI strategy at board level and building the playbook that lets Artefact deliver it
again, better, for the next client.

and implementation details with a client’s Principal Engineers and Data Scientists.

shape Artefact's own AI and data strategy. You will mentor and support the development of data and AI talent at Artefact, with
particular attention to growing the Tech Leads and Managers who report to you.
The Director role is for people who have already proven they can lead AI and data engagements and manage senior talent, and who
are ready to be accountable for a portfolio of clients, a library of reusable solutions, and the technology leads who deliver
against both. It is a step-change in scope, not just seniority. What we're looking for:
business value for clients, ideally including several years spent working with consulting and technical teams together.

can move fluidly between the strategic and the technical.

not because you perform confidence, but because you have done the work and know what you are talking about.
Artefact's data and AI capability as seriously as you take any individual engagement.
We do not require a single career path to this role. Some of our strongest Directors came from tier-one consulting firms, some
from private equity or in-house transformation leadership, and some grew here. What they share is deep AI and data expertise, the
ability to earn trust at every level, and the judgement to know when to operate strategically and when to get into the technical
details themselves.
