Company mission
To help organisations across the public and private sectors use AI to understand more deeply, make better decisions and act faster.
Role
Who you are
- Team leadership. You care passionately about people and building an environment where people can thrive. You know when to be close to something and when to give space
- Writing skills. You write excellently and know what good writing looks like - you can write about complex subjects compelling to a C-suite audience
- Design and brand skills. You have a strong understanding of how to build successful brands and what that should mean in the context of somewhere like Faculty; and you have a keen eye for high-quality design and know how to achieve it consistently
- Influencing and persuading skills. You can inspire others about the importance of marketing, brand, design and communications and bring people with you - including leadership and other key stakeholders, your team, your peers, and wider delivery teams
- Understanding of AI and related technology. You do not need to be a technologist but you are someone who is interested in AI and can quickly pick up the nuance behind it, and hence will be able to credibly articulate what Faculty does and why both internally and externally
- Execution and Delivery. You are grippy and action-oriented, and take pride in executing consistently and leading teams who do so. You’re able to execute across multiple priorities in a complex stakeholder landscape. You do not let uncertainty and lack of process be a blocker, and can drive actions and decisions at all levels and are willing to get into the details to drive outcomes. You have a problem-focused, solutions-oriented approach to how you work
- Consultancy experience. You have some familiarity of the nuances of successful marketing for technical consultancy - either having worked for a consultancy (e.g. a branding agency or similar) or with direct experience of seeing how successful consultancies engage the market
What the job involves
- As part of the leadership team, you will lead and execute on how we present Faculty’s Applied AI business to our existing and target markets
- You will also lead on Faculty’s overall public identity, which incorporates company-wide branding
- We will look to you to set strategic direction across the whole spectrum of marketing and communications, and to lead a team in the day-to-day execution of positioning Faculty appropriately in the market and vis-a-vis our competitors
- The role will report to the Managing Director of the Applied AI business
- Leading Faculty’s Marketing and Communications team, currently 6 people but set to grow in line with Faculty’s growth, and owning the relevant marketing and communications budgets
- Setting Faculty’s Applied AI marketing and communications strategy, including how we describe our core service offerings and how we articulate ourselves and our impact to the market
- Day-to-day responsibility for implementation of that strategy, both personally and through your team - across core collateral, thought leadership, events, campaigns, and our website
- Defining the KPIs for marketing so we can measurably track whether the strategy is working
- Leading the implementation of a brand refresh currently nearing finalisation by a leading external branding agency - ensuring consistent roll out across Faculty both internally and externally
- Being a champion for the importance of brand consistency and high-quality design across Faculty, including using the brand refresh as a vehicle for positive change
- Overseeing management of Faculty’s core public-facing channels, including social media and website, and overseeing PR & press engagement (although this is run with a high degree of autonomy by Faculty’s PR & Comms Lead)
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Faculty work with companies such as Samsung, the BBC, and Just Eat to figure out what they could do with AI, and then help them to do it through implementing the right skills, strategy and software.
The team have developed a platform with large cloud computing space for accessing large amounts of data usable to design and test AI models. As businesses realise the importance of using data to drive growth and stay competitive, Faculty have focused on making AI real through real world deployments and aim provide data to organisations so that they can make better decisions.
Faculty has worked with clients in a range of different industries, including healthcare, retail, government and energy. They are just one of the many companies utilising AI, but it’s their ability to work alongside organisations and apply the findings that will really help them to succeed.
