Head of Banking

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.

In our Professional and Financial Services Business unit, we bring everything we have learned in more than a decade of Applied AI,

and use it to help our clients navigate a rapidly changing landscape.

We develop and embed AI solutions which help firms become more efficient, enhance customer experience, and find the commercial

upside in uncertain markets. Within the constraints of a highly regulated industry, we see so much opportunity for meaningful

innovation and are proud to set the gold-standard for marrying technical excellence with safe deployment.

Banking is entering a period of profound reinvention. Across retail, commercial and corporate banking, leaders are under pressure

to improve productivity, modernise customer journeys, strengthen risk management, and turn AI from a series of pilots into

enterprise-wide advantage.

Faculty is uniquely placed to help. We combine deep technical expertise in AI with hard-won experience delivering real

transformation in complex, regulated environments. We work with senior leaders to move beyond experimentation, designing and

deploying AI solutions that create measurable impact across front office, operations, risk, and control functions.

We’re looking for a Head of Banking to define and grow our presence in the sector. You will shape our go-to-market strategy, build

enduring relationships with senior banking stakeholders, and lead the pursuit and delivery of some of the most ambitious AI

transformation programmes in the market. This is an opportunity to build a distinctive banking practice inside a company with

world-class technical depth, strong delivery credentials, and the ambition to set the standard for AI in financial services.

• Building trusted, long-term relationships with C-suite banking leaders, acting as a trusted advisor on how AI can drive revenue

growth, improve operational efficiency, strengthen risk management, and deepen customer loyalty

• Generating sales and revenue for Faculty by shaping software design, compelling commercial pitches, and exciting demos that

convey Faculty’s technical depth and delivery excellence

• Elevating Faculty’s industry profile by articulating differentiated banking propositions and points of view through the media

and in industry forums

• Ensuring the successful delivery of a portfolio of high-quality client work across the sector by guiding multidisciplinary

teams, maintaining executive confidence, and helping teams navigate ambiguity, pace, and complexity

• Mentoring and developing colleagues through line management, helping to replicate and reinforce Faculty’s Principles and

collegial culture

• You've led large, complex transformation programmes, ideally involving organisational change with data, technology, or AI, for

a bank or as a consultant

• You are commercially minded - excited about hitting commercial targets through shaping opportunities, winning work, growing

accounts, and owning meaningful revenue responsibility

• You are a compelling communicator who builds trust quickly with senior stakeholders and can explain complex technologies

clearly

• You are comfortable switching altitudes - from executive level to delivery to challenge constructively, unblock teams, and

maintain quality

• You have experience leading, mentoring, and developing high-performing teams, and you care about building an inclusive,

intellectually rigorous culture

We aim to grow the best team - not the most similar one. We know that diversity of individuals fosters diversity of thought, and

that strengthens our principle of seeking truth. And we know from experience that diverse teams deliver better work, relevant to

the world in which we live. We’re united by a deep intellectual curiosity and desire to use our abilities for measurable positive

impact. We strongly encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, genders, religions and sexual

orientations.

If you don’t feel you meet all the requirements, but are excited by the role and know you bring some key strengths, please don't

hesitate in applying as you might be right for this role, or other roles. We are open to conversations about part-time hours.
