AI Business Partner

The AI Business Partner is a new role at the heart of Janus Henderson's AI Transformation program. The role is embedded within a business unit, working side-by-side with teams to identify high-value AI opportunities, build practical solutions, and drive measurable adoption. The AI Business Partner operates at the intersection of business process expertise, AI solution development, and change enablement, translating real workflow pain points into working AI solutions that people actually use.

What You Will Do

The AI Business Partner will work with teams to agree practical measures of success, design and build intelligent solutions using Microsoft Copilot Studio, Power Automate, and the broader M365 ecosystem, and conduct ongoing research into emerging AI technologies. The role will also involve analyzing current business capabilities and use cases to tailor coaching and upskilling for business users, collaborating with departmental AI champions to identify and develop 'Fighter Pilots' who will drive, sustain, and scale AI adoption within their departments.

Why It Might Be a Fit

The AI Business Partner will be part of the Innovation team and work within the AI Academy framework, partnering closely with department AI champions and advanced users to scale AI capability from within the business. The role requires a deep familiarity with the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, experience designing practical technology solutions in environments where security, data sensitivity, and responsible delivery matter, and understanding of data governance, responsible AI principles, and the emerging regulatory landscape for AI.
