Description
Who We Are Founded in 2017, Unit8 is a leading Data & AI services company helping large organisations turn data and AI into measurable business value. We work with major enterprises across industries including pharma, chemicals, manufacturing, financial services and automotive, solving complex problems across operations, R&D, customer experience and core business processes. Today, Unit8 brings together 170+ engineers, data scientists and consultants across Europe and North America, with a growing presence in the Middle East. We have delivered more than 350 Data & AI projects, spanning GenAI and AI engineering, data platforms, cloud, machine learning and advanced analytics. Our Mission Our mission is to help organisations make Data & AI work in the real world. We combine strong engineering, technical expertise and business understanding to take ideas from problem definition and architecture through implementation, deployment and adoption. The Role As a Technical Engagement Lead , you will take ownership of complex Data & AI engagements and lead them from an ambiguous client problem to a successful technical outcome. You will work at the intersection of client leadership, architecture and hands-on engineering: understanding what the client is trying to achieve, translating it into a clear delivery approach, guiding the technical solution and team, and stepping into implementation when needed. This is a role for someone who wants to grow into broader delivery and client leadership without moving away from technology. Depending on your experience, your scope may range from leading a complex technical engagement to coordinating multiple workstreams, senior engineers or broader client responsibilities. What You’ll Do Own the engagement end-to-end — take accountability for the client relationship, delivery outcomes and the performance of the team. Turn client problems into delivery plans — work with clients to define clear objectives, scope, priorities and a practical roadmap. Own the technical solution — shape the architecture, stay hands-on in implementation and ensure high engineering quality. Lead and manage the team — create a high-performing environment, give direction and feedback, and help people do their best work. Help grow our business — identify and shape new opportunities within existing accounts and contribute to pre-sales and new client engagements. Why You’ll Love It Solve important problems — work directly with clients on complex challenges where Data & AI can materially improve how their business operates and serves customers. Own the outcome — take responsibility from client problem to successful delivery, working across technology, teams and stakeholders as your scope grows. Work at the edge of Data & AI — design and deliver solutions across GenAI and agents, AI engineering, modern data platforms, cloud, software engineering and production ML. Work with people who raise the bar — collaborate with deeply technical engineers, data scientists and consultants who care about solving difficult problems and making an impact.
