I’m currently supporting a enterpise sized institution that is mid-build on an enterprise AI chatbot (Azure + LLM-driven) that will sit at the heart of a new staff portal rollout. Their current Tech Lead is leaving at a critical stage, so they need someone who can step in quickly and own architecture, scalability and delivery through to production. It’s very hands-on but strategic, working directly with senior stakeholders and shaping the long-term roadmap. Hybrid role 2 days onsite in London (non-negotiable), contract until July initially, with likely extension. If you are interested, reach out ASAP - looking to arrange interviews end of this week and start of next.
