AI Transformation Lead / Forward Deployed Engineer

Put AI to work across your business, without a year-long hire.

We embed a senior AI Transformation Lead inside your company to find where AI pays off, prototype working solutions in days, and put them into production on Gantry. One accountable person on the ground, one platform behind them.

The engagement
Your first agent live in 6 weeks.

One senior lead, embedded on-site. No year-long hire, no open-ended consulting retainer.

BOOK A 15-MINUTE CALL
A conversation with an engineer, not a sales queue
The gap

You have the AI ambition. You don’t have the AI leadership.

The board wants AI. The pressure is real. But the work stalls in the same place every time. Nobody inside the company can say where AI actually pays off, prototype it, and steer the team to adopt it. So it stays a pile of experiments that never reach production.

01
Scattered experiments
Teams trial a dozen AI tools. None of it connects, and nobody can say what it returned.
02
Managers unsure where to start
The ambition is top-down, but the people who run the work don’t know which problem AI should touch first.
03
Hiring a leader is slow and hard
A senior AI hire takes 6 to 12 months to find, costs a permanent salary, and may still never ship.
What they do

A senior AI expert, inside your business

They don’t advise from the outside and leave a deck. They sit where the work happens and build working solutions themselves. What they ship runs on Gantry, our platform: secured, auditable, in your cloud, on your models.

  • Finds where AI pays off in your operation
  • Prototypes the highest-ROI use case fast
  • Evaluates and selects the right tools
  • Advises your team on AI best practice
  • Trains your people to run it
  • Stays accountable for what ships

How it works

What a typical week looks like

No drawn-out discovery phase that ends in a report. The lead runs a tight weekly loop, and a working prototype is in your team’s hands inside the first week.

Mon / Tue
Discover

Sit with your functional leaders and their teams. Map the real workflows, the pain points, and the steps nobody ever wrote down.

Wed
Prioritise

Rank every use case by ROI with a structured framework, then decide how each one should be solved: simple automation, an AI agent, or a custom ops platform.

Thu
Align

Present the top problems and proposed solutions to the functional leader, and agree on what to tackle first.

One week
Prototype

Build a working prototype with AI-assisted development, put it in front of the team, and iterate until it fits. The target is a working version in under a week.

Ongoing
Ship, then repeat

Validated prototypes go into production on Gantry. Meanwhile, discovery starts on the next problem with the next leader.

TALK TO US
Questions

Before you reach out

A consultant advises from the outside and hands you a recommendation. An AI Transformation Lead embeds inside your business, prototypes working solutions themselves, and stays accountable for what reaches production on Gantry, our platform.

No. The lead works with your people, advises them, and trains them to run what gets built. The goal is that your team is more capable when the engagement ends, not dependent on us.

No. It is one engagement and one accountable lead. They prototype the solutions hands-on, and our platform takes the validated ones into production. You are not paying for a separate build team on top.

Yours. Systems run on Gantry, secured and auditable, on public or private cloud, with frontier or open-source models. AI without giving up control of your data.

Days for a first prototype on your highest-ROI use case, and a system in production within weeks, not a discovery phase that ends in a quarter-long report.

It starts with a 2-month trial to lower the risk of beginning. The right number depends on your operation, and the simplest next step is a short call.
