Requirements
We are looking for a leader to establish and run our AI Centre of Excellence (AI CoE). This role will own the company's AI governance, enablement, adoption, and value realization. The AI Transformation Lead will define how AI is used across the business, administer approved AI tools, partner with teams to identify and prototype high-value use cases, and ensure AI is deployed responsibly, securely, and effectively. This person will work across business, technology, security, legal, finance, and people teams to turn AI from isolated experiments into scalable business capability.
Mission:
You will own and drive AI adoption across the company by setting strategy, governing usage, enabling teams, and delivering measurable business impact.
Outcomes:
Governance: AI governance, standards, and operating models are established and understood across the business.
Enablement: Employees are trained, supported, and confident in using approved AI tools responsibly.
Delivery: High-value use cases are identified, prioritized, prototyped, and transitioned into scalable business solutions.
Adoption: Usage and adoption of AI tools increase in a measurable and controlled way.
Value: AI spend and outcomes are visible, with clear tracking of ROI, productivity, quality, and risk.
Key responsibilities:
Strategy and leadership
Governance, risk, and policy
AI platform and tool administration
Business partnership and use case delivery

Adoption, monitoring, and value realization
Cross-functional coordination
You are a pragmatic builder who can combine strategy, governance, and execution. You are comfortable working across technical and non-technical teams, and you know how to turn emerging technology into practical business value. You are equally comfortable setting policy, running training, evaluating vendors, and helping teams prototype new ideas.
Qualifications and experience
Preferred qualifications
Behavioural fit is also important at Sleek, and we will be looking for candidates that have a proven track record of embodying the below attributes in their recent roles:
Ownership: This shows reliability and helps build trust within the team. We move fast and need to know that everyone will see things through to completion and proactively help to get things back on track when challenges arise. Accountability is really important to us.
Humility: There is so much we don’t know. Humility allows for open-mindedness to feedback and a willingness to learn from others. It paves the way for collaboration and creates a positive work environment. It is a key ingredient of self awareness and emotional intelligence.
Structured Thinking: Our business is complex with many layers (many services, many countries, many cultures). Regardless of whether you’re more analytical or creative in nature, being able to show sound judgement is important to us. It ensures solutions are pragmatic and balance the needs of the organisation, team and customers.
Data driven: We are a data rich business with ~15,000 small customers. Each decision we make can impact many more people than we realise - so it’s critical that we use sound data to support our strategies and review the success of our initiatives.
Can have tough conversations in a positive way: It’s not a matter of if, but when difficult interpersonal situations arise. Disagreement, conflict and disappointment are a given in a fast moving business where people care about their work. People that proactively have tough conversations with kindness build empathy, trust and great working relationships.
The successful candidate will participate in the below interview stages. We anticipate the process to last no more than 3 weeks from start to finish.
Whether the interviews are held over video call or in person will depend on your location and the role.
