About The Role
This new role will be a key part of exploring generative AI at Cambridge, with a focus on delivering working, well-constructed proof-of-concepts that meet requirements and enable business needs and benefits to be evaluated.

You thrive on solving problems, working iteratively and at pace, with a focus on meeting the requirements of the end user. You enjoy change and the challenge of working with both new technologies and new methodologies, adapting your approach accordingly.
