Manager – AI Productivity Engineer

At Virgin Atlantic, we believe travel should feel different. Since day one, we have challenged convention and redefined what a modern airline can be. Today, as we continue to evolve into a more data and technology enabled business, we are investing in AI not as a trend, but as a practical driver of productivity, smarter decision making and meaningful change across our operation. This is an individual contributor role. You will not be leading a large team, but you will operate with a strong project delivery mindset. You will be accountable for investigating, shaping and deploying AI solutions from idea through to integration, influencing stakeholders and driving outcomes across the business. In a nutshell AI only creates value when it meaningfully changes how a business operates. As our Manager, AI Productivity Engineer, you will embed directly within business domains to turn prioritised AI use cases into secure, scalable and integrated solutions. You will combine strong technical capability with deep curiosity about how AI can enhance performance across multiple functions, from Finance and People to Sales and Customer teams. Working through our AI Ignite governance framework, you will take ideas that demonstrate clear strategic value and convert them into working, production ready solutions. Whether building agentic workflows, deploying enterprise AI applications or integrating tools through robust API architecture, your focus will be on pushing the dial on innovation while ensuring measurable business impact. This is not a theoretical AI role. The challenge is integration. Connecting platforms. Embedding AI into live workflows. Ensuring enterprise standards are met. Delivering productivity gains that endure beyond the pilot phase.
