AI Delivery Lead

DeeplightAbu Dhabi, United Arab EmiratesPosted Apr 29
via Workable

DeepLight AI isn’t just another consultancy. We are the architects of the Middle East’s intelligent corporate landscape. We don’t deal in "off-the-shelf" fixes; we build bespoke, high-impact AI systems that redefine how the region's largest organizations operate.

As we continue to bridge the gap between complex data and business strategy, we are looking for an AI Delivery Lead who is tired of "traditional" project management and ready to drive real technical transformation.

The Mission

In this role, you aren’t just tracking timelines—you are a Technical Translator. You will sit at the intersection of executive strategy and high-level engineering, turning visionary business goals into secure, production-ready AI solutions for the banking sector.

Why DeepLight AI?

  • True Innovation: Work on cloud-native AI deployments that are scalable, secure, and built for the future.
  • High-Stakes Impact: Operate within the rigorous, highly regulated world of Financial Services, ensuring innovation meets the highest compliance standards.
  • Lead the Shift: Orchestrate the end-to-end lifecycle of AI applications and spearhead the cultural and technical move toward AI-driven workflows.

Who You Are

  • A Technical Orchestrator: You understand the "how" as much as the "why," with the ability to manage multi-quarter roadmaps and complex engineering teams.
  • A Banking Strategist: You thrive in the nuances of financial regulations and know what it takes to get a sophisticated AI platform live.
  • A Visionary Leader: You are ready to empower clients to lead in an automated world.

Your responsibilities as the AI Delivery Lead include:

  • Facilitate discovery sessions with Business and Product teams to extract core objectives and decompose them into precise technical specifications, user stories, and architectural requirements for engineering teams.
  • Devise and manage multi-quarter roadmaps, establishing clear RACI matrices and communication cadences to keep stakeholders aligned across the organization.
  • Leverage your background in SOC/NOC environments to ensure all AI deployments are "production-ready," focusing on observability, incident response protocols, and security compliance.
  • Navigate the complexities of financial services, including regulatory compliance, data privacy (PII), and complex stakeholder landscapes.
  • Oversee the delivery of AI-powered features, ensuring that model deployment, monitoring, and feedback loops are integrated into the broader application lifecycle.
  • Act as the primary point of contact for executive leadership, managing expectations and providing transparent reporting on delivery risks and milestones.

As an AI consultancy, our greatest asset is the expertise of our people.


While technical mastery is the foundation of what we do, the ability to bridge the gap between complex data science and actionable business value is what defines your success with Deeplight.


We're looking for individuals who are not only world-class in their fields of specialism, but also compelling communicators and persuasive advocates for their own skills.


You will be the face of our firm, tasked with building trust, articulating the "why" behind your technical decisions, and effectively "selling" your vision to high-level stakeholders.


If you thrive on the challenge of presenting cutting-edge solutions as much as you do on building them, you will fit right in.

What it takes:

  • 5+ years experience in the financial services sector, with a deep understanding of the security and compliance rigors associated with banking tech
  • A proven track record of leading complex delivery programs for cloud-based Web or Mobile applications.
  • Direct experience with SOC (Security Operations Center) or NOC (Network Operations Center) workflows is preferred, ensuring uptime and security are built-in, not bolted-on.
  • A solid understanding of cloud-native architecture (Azure or AWS), specifically how modern applications consume AI services.
  • Exceptional ability to explain complex technical trade-offs (e.g., latency vs. accuracy in AI) to non-technical business partners.
  • Experience leading teams through the cultural shift of adopting AI-driven workflows.

The benefits you'll enjoy as part of this role include:

  • Competitive salary
  • Comprehensive personal health insurance
  • Visa Sponsorship for the successful individual
  • Professional development and certification support
  • Subscription reimbursement relating to your role
  • Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects
  • Monthly Employee Incentive program
  • Career advancement opportunities in a rapidly growing AI company

This position offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of AI implementation while working with a talented team of professionals at the forefront of technological innovation. The successful candidate will play a crucial role in driving our company's success in delivering transformative AI solutions to our clients.

At DeepLight AI, we recognise that diversity drives innovation. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where individuals with different thinking styles can thrive and contribute their unique strengths to our specialised AI and data solutions.

Our goal is to ensure our application and interview process is accessible, predictable, and fair for all candidates.

If you require any specific adjustments to the application process, or if you require any reasonable adjustments should you be successful in being processed to the interview stage, please do let us know. This information will be kept strictly confidential and will not impact hiring decisions.
