Public Sector Lead, Central Government

<p>The UK is making a wholesale shift to AI. The government's AI Opportunities Action Plan set out to "mainline AI into the veins" of the country, and the focus has now moved to delivery: the Incubator for AI (<a href="http://i.AI">i.AI</a>) is shipping tools like the Humphrey suite into departments, a Sovereign AI Unit and AI Growth Zones are being stood up, and civilian departments are under real pressure to move from pilots to production. Scale can play a foundational role in building the reliable AI applications that shift depends on.</p> <p>We're looking for someone to lead that work in central government. This isn’t about staying in the office and managing a team of sales people, its about building the business from the front. You'd own our commercial relationships across civilian departments, starting where the near-term pipeline is strongest: HMRC, DWP, and NHS.</p> <p>This is a critical role reporting directly to the new Public Sector leader. You'd carry a number, win deals yourself, and build a small team behind you as the work grows. It suits someone who has sold into these departments before and knows how they actually make decisions, not just how the org charts look.</p> <h2>What you'll do</h2> <ul> <li>Own our commercial plan and pipeline for UK civilian central government</li> <li>Find, shape, and close deals yourself, from the first conversation through to contract and into delivery</li> <li>Use the relationships you already have across departments like HMRC, DWP, and NHS</li> <li>Work the frameworks, tenders and teaming, and know which route to market is worth the effort and which isn't.</li> <li>Be a credible counterpart to senior civil servants, and turn what they need into work we can deliver</li> <li>Stay close to our product and delivery teams so what we sell is what we build</li> <li>Hire and lead a small team over time, and help shape the wider UK public sector plan with the UK Public Sector Lead</li> </ul> <h2>What we're looking for</h2> <ul
