What will your day look like?As Managing Director, AI Solution Consulting, you will lead our agentic AI business in the US. You will advise C-level clients on where agents create real value, shape ecosystems that combine bespoke agents with the platforms clients already own, prove the incremental ROI, and grow a portfolio of accounts and a team to match.
- Grow & Win: Help grow and win our US portfolio with client engagement and growth teams: spotting opportunities, bringing the AI vision to pursuits, shaping proposals and commercial models beyond time and materials, and leading the AI solution through to signature.
- Strategic Advisory: Be a trusted advisor to CMOs, CDOs and CX leaders, shaping an agentic agenda that serves their strategy rather than a vendor roadmap.
- Value & ROI: Build value cases with clear baselines and attribution, so every agent we sell has a measurable route to ROI.
- Architecture & Delivery: Decide what to build bespoke and what to configure on existing platforms, and how it all works together safely as one agentic ecosystem.
- Portfolio Oversight: Partner with client engagement teams to oversee a portfolio of agentic AI programmes, ensuring they deliver outcomes, quality and client satisfaction.
- Governance & Ethics: Set the standard for responsible agentic delivery: evaluation, human oversight and governance aligned to emerging US AI regulation.
- Thought Leadership & Growth: Build and lead the US team, and be a recognised voice on agentic marketing and CX.
What success looks like in 12 months:- A growing US agentic pipeline, with bookings against the growth target agreed when you join.
- Our global agentic delivery standard - value cases, evaluation and governance - improved with lessons from your US engagements and adopted across the team.
- A team of AI Solution Consultants hired and developing, sized to serve the pipeline you have built.
Who are you going to work with?- Direct Leadership: Reports to the Global Head of AI Solution Consulting and Engineering.
- Internal Capabilities: You'll partner closely with our world-class AI Product, AI Engineering, Tech, Data and Client Engagement teams, so the solutions you shape are the solutions we ship.
- The Wider Network: You will work across engagement and technical capabilities to deliver as one team in a multi-agency group like WPP.
- Clients & Stakeholders: You will work directly with CMOs, CDOs, CX leaders, and C-level client executives.
- Your Team: You will build, lead, develop, and inspire a high-performing US team of AI Solution Consultants.
What do you bring to the table?- 12+ years in consulting, CX or marketing technology, or AI, including 5+ years leading a portfolio, P&L or practice, working at a tech and/or marketing agency consultancy.
- A deep understanding of how marketing organizations really work (campaign planning, creative and content production, CRM and lifecycle, personalization) and where AI changes their speed, cost and creative output.
- A deep understanding of the end-to-end consumer journey, with the ability to identify where AI can transform the moments that matter, create differentiated customer experiences and unlock measurable value for clients.
- Practical fluency with today's AI and agent tools: you can demo an idea in front of a client, you know what agents can and can't reliably do yet, and you have taken generative or agentic AI from pilot to production with results you can quantify.
- A record of originating and closing multi-million programmes, with the executive presence to make AI value and risk clear to C-level audiences.
- A natural collaborator who leads through influence, building trust across engagement and technical capabilities to deliver as one team in a multi-agency group like WPP.
- Experience building, leading and inspiring high-performing teams of consultants.
