Head of Applied AI Lab

About the role

Turing is building the next generation of enterprise AI, and this role sits at the center of that mission. As Head of AI Technology, you will define how some of the world’s largest companies harness emerging technologies to reimagine their operations, products, and workforce productivity.

This is technical focused role, on both strategic level and hands-on detailed level. You will be partner with the Head of AI Business, to set a technical vision for how AI systems can create lasting enterprise value, while also guiding teams through the complexity of turning that vision into real-world applications. The role requires the judgment to engage credibly with senior executives, the technical depth to drive architectural decisions, and the leadership to scale teams working at the frontier of applied AI.

You will thrive here if you are a hand-on AI technologist with your opinionated vision on what the future of AI enterprise applications would be. You also need to navigate ambiguity, inspire confidence in high-stakes client environments, and build organizations that balance speed with rigor. The impact of your work will be measured not only in successful deployments, but also in the common architecture you inspire, in the lasting trust you create with clients and in the new possibilities you open for how enterprises compete and grow in the era of AI.
