The only specialist
The only specialist
in AI governance
recruitment.
Generalist recruiters list AI governance as one of fifty service lines. We've made it our entire focus - because when the regulation bites and the board demands accountability, you need a firm that knows this market from the inside.
- Mandated demand - EU AI Act, FCA and NHS frameworks are forcing AI governance roles into existence across every regulated sector.
- Supply is scarce - the academic and professional pipeline for AI governance is just beginning. The candidates exist but you need to know where to find them.
- We understand the roles - not just the job titles. We know what a good Chief AI Officer looks like versus a compliance officer who's rebranded for the moment.
- Two disciplines, one relationship - AI governance and AI transformation are two sides of the same programme. We cover both, so your hiring has coherence.
