Company mission
To empower data teams to build and manage pipelines faster for AI and analytics - at scale.
Role
Who you are
- Demonstrable experience in Programme Management or PMO roles within high-growth SaaS environments, with a track record of delivering complex, cross-functional initiatives
- Understanding of LLMs, API integrations, and RAG architectures—you don't need to code, but you must challenge timelines and technical approaches and be able to have technical discussions
- Tenacious delivery mindset: you prefer "deployed and iterative" over "perfect and delayed," and you hold yourself and others accountable for results
- Strategic thinker who can operate across the entire business, influencing senior stakeholders and driving adoption without direct authority
- Empathetic leader who can move teams away from legacy manual processes, building trust and driving change through influence, not force
- We are keen to hear from prospective Matillioners, so even if you don't feel you match all the criteria please apply and a member of our Talent Acquisition team will be in touch
What the job involves
- AI is everywhere, but most companies are drowning in experiments that go nowhere. At Matillion, we're embedding AI into how we work, scale, and win
- We need someone tenacious and strategic to turn our AI ambition into reality—not just for one team, but for the entire business
- You'll be the central nervous system for Matillion's internal AI evolution, bridging the gap between high-level ambition and practical, secure execution
- Reporting to the CISO, you'll ensure AI initiatives deliver scalable, governed, high-ROI systems that demonstrably increase our organizational velocity
- You own the "Why," the "When," and the "So What" of our internal AI roadmap
- Define and maintain the internal AI roadmap, prioritising high-impact, low-risk automations that drive measurable business outcomes
- Lead cross-functional AI initiatives across the business, ensuring alignment with architectural standards, security governance, and ROI targets
- Drive the cultural shift to an "AI-First" mindset—developing training programs, managing change, and reducing "AI anxiety" across non-technical teams
- Define and report KPIs such as "Hours Reclaimed," "Process Velocity," and "Cost per Automation," delivering quarterly impact reports to the executive team
- Act as the bridge between technical and non-technical stakeholders, translating AI complexity into actionable strategy and holding teams accountable for delivery
