Founding AI Automation Lead
London (Hybrid)
£70–100k (3-6 Month FTC with Perm conversion possible)
We’re partnering with a high-growth consumer brand to hire their first AI Automation Lead — a pivotal role focused on scaling the business to £50M+ ARR without proportional headcount growth.
This is a rare opportunity to build an AI-first operating system inside a real, revenue-generating business — not a sandbox.
The Role
You’ll work directly with senior leadership to identify, build, and deploy automation across the business — from supply chain to retail operations.
This is a hands-on builder role with strategic influence.
What you'll be doing
- Design and implement end-to-end automation workflows across ops, supply chain, and B2B retail
- Build agent-based systems to replace manual processes
- Standardise and own the company-wide AI tooling stack
- Run workshops to identify high-impact use cases across teams
- Drive adoption and training for non-technical users
- Continuously improve and maintain workflows (not just ship and leave)
Key Focus Areas
- B2B retail operations (order management, replenishment, reporting)
- Supply chain & procurement workflows
- Forecasting and planning systems
- Warehouse coordination and assembly processes
- Internal productivity and automation tooling
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience building real automation that replaces human work
- Strong hands-on capability with tools like Zapier, Make, APIs, GPT-based systems
Nice to Have
- Background in product, operations, or technical consulting
- Experience in high-growth startups or scale-ups
- Exposure to supply chain, logistics, or back-office systems
- Experience building interoperable tool ecosystems
