Cloudscaler

Senior AI Enablement Consultant Location: Central London – Hybrid. Onsite requirements can vary from one customer to another, between 1 to 3 days per week. Full Time, Permanent Salary: £90,000 - £115,000 SC Clearance Requirements: Due to working with a number of government bodies, SC clearance is required for our customer facing teams. You do not need active SC clearance as we will undertake checks upon you joining, but you must be eligible to pass SC clearance. Why you should join us At Cloudscaler, you’ll be part of a consultancy at the forefront of cloud transformation, trusted by government, defence, and enterprise organisations to deliver complex AWS solutions that make a real national impact. From modernising public services to securing critical infrastructure, the work you do will matter far beyond technology. We combine the agility of a startup with the credibility of an AWS Advanced Partner, creating a high-trust, high-performance culture where self-starters thrive and every voice is heard. You’ll work closely with senior leadership and cloud experts, shaping meaningful projects and driving innovation. By joining us, you’ll accelerate your personal and professional development through hands-on experience with cutting-edge cloud solutions. You’ll learn directly from experts while contributing to some of the UK’s most ambitious cloud programmes, gaining exposure and influence you wouldn’t find in a larger consultancy. The Role We are hiring a Senior AI Enablement Consultant to deliver our AI enablement function starting internally, then taking it to our customers through our Enterprise AI Fast Start offering. Our philosophy is simple: happy people are productive people, not the other way round. Most AI rollouts fail because they focus on adoption metrics instead of asking people what’s actually wasting their time. We take the opposite approach. We ask people what annoys them, give them an AI tool, and let them fix it. The research backs this up employees with agency over how AI enters their work adopt it faster, stay longer, and deliver better results. In your first six months, you will embed AI across every department at Cloudscaler (~80 people). You will discover what frustrates our teams, design training seeded by real data, and build AI-powered automations that make measurable differences to how people feel about their work. When you move into customer delivery, you will lead 6–10 week Enterprise AI Fast Start engagements for organisations in regulated sectors backed by real internal results, real happiness data, and real stories rather than theoretical frameworks. This is not a strategy role. You will be in the room with real teams, solving real problems, every week. What You Will Do * Discover what wastes people’s time through structured interviews and pulse data then help them fix it with AI. * Design and deliver AI training tailored to how each team actually works, seeded by real discovery data, not generic “how to prompt” sessions. * Build department-specific AI automations using Claude, including custom Projects, Skills, and MCP integrations. * Run the Weekly AI Pulse tracking happiness, confidence, and new automation opportunities across every engagement. * Create AI playbooks, Skills, Plugins, onboarding content, and training modules for graduates and experienced hires. * Lead Enterprise AI Fast Start engagements for enterprise customers 6–10 weeks from discovery to handover. * Manage the MCP Evaluation Pipeline: assessing, governing, and deploying AI integrations with the right security and governance. * Build champions networks that sustain AI adoption beyond any single engagement. * Contribute to thought leadership and pre-sales grounded in real delivery experience and real data. What We Are Looking For You will have: * Broad professional experience across multiple business functions, you understand how different teams operate and where the friction is. * Experience designing and delivering training or enablement to enterprise audiences. * Strong facilitation skills you are comfortable in front of a room with large groups. * Hands-on, daily experience with generative AI tools you are the person others ask for help. * Empathy and the interpersonal skills to understand how people genuinely feel about their work not just what they say in a group setting. * An instinct for process improvement, you see frustration and immediately think about how to fix it. * The ability to work autonomously in a new function without an established playbook. Bonus points for: * Experience with Anthropic Claude (Teams or Enterprise). * Familiarity with AWS, particularly Amazon Bedrock. * Background in business analysis, change management, or L&D. * Experience in regulated sectors. * Experience building Skills, Plugins, or reusable AI assets.
