AI Executive - Hanbury Strategy

About Hanbury Strategy

Our mission is: “To build a team of exceptional people, who go the extra mile, to help companies with their biggest reputational, policy and regulatory challenges.”

The role:

Are you passionate about public policy and the future of artificial intelligence? We’re looking for an Executive who combines a deep understanding of AI and coding, with a flair for communications and public affairs.

You’ll play an active role in identifying and supporting the implementation of AI-related initiatives across the business, bringing technical understanding and practical insight to internal strategy.

This is a unique opportunity for someone early in their career who wants to blend policy and communications with internal digital transformation.

You will work directly with colleagues at all levels of the company, giving you the opportunity to develop your skills with experienced professionals from across the worlds of politics, business and media.

Main responsibilities:

• You will be instrumental in supporting the development and application of deep AI knowledge and expertise across Hanbury.
• You will develop and maintain a broad technical understanding of the latest artificial intelligence techniques.
• Conduct research on tech policy trends and prepare internal notes on opportunities for AI innovation.
• Implement AI initiatives to help streamline internal processes.
• Draft internal training materials that explain technical AI concepts in accessible language.
• Take a leading role in the Hanbury AI working group.

You will also be involved in a range of traditional Executive tasks and projects, which might include:

• Drafting background briefings and conducting desk research on a range of policy areas and important issues.
• Monitoring for key developments in the press and Parliament that are relevant to clients.
• Drafting a range of media materials, including press releases and op-eds.
• Researching, analysing and collating political outputs from Westminster, Whitehall and regulators, and ensuring these are presented in a client-friendly format.
• Assisting with business development.

You will:

• Have introductory experience working in public affairs (agency or in house), policy, politics, communications or the media.
• Have a genuine interest in AI and technology and how businesses can use them to innovate their processes.
• Want to grow your knowledge of the fast-evolving AI and technology landscape.
• Have a working knowledge in programming (e.g. Python), an interest in enterprise development, and familiarity with AI/ML and LLMs, including API integration.
• Be able to operate as a generalist - eager to learn a lot, at pace, about new industries and policy areas.
• Dedicated to producing high quality work and going the extra mile.
• Be a proactive ‘self-starter’: someone who takes the initiative to volunteer for tasks, and offers ideas at meetings.
• Have excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Be able to SPAG (spelling and grammar check) documents quickly and accurately.
• Be organised and have good time management: you can juggle different activities, understand what needs to be prioritised, and communicate when different issues conflict.
• Show attention to detail: you consistently ensure that you review your pieces of work and submit to a good standard even when things are busy.
• Have the ability to work well within teams.
• Have a strong work ethic and drive to deliver excellence.
• Be motivated. We go the extra mile. We measure results, not hours.

Benefits offered

• 28 days’ paid leave plus bank holidays and additional time off over Christmas.
• Pension plan - 4% company contribution.
• Annual discretionary bonus scheme.
• Normal working hours are 9am - 6pm: there are regular, earlier starts for morning monitoring.
• Offices in London Bridge - we are a hybrid working company.
• Cycle to work scheme and season ticket loan.
• Work from abroad policy for up to 20 days a year.
• The opportunity to opt in to Vitality including private health care and subsidised gym.
