prosource.it is supporting the search for an experienced Data & AI Literacy SME to support a key strategic initiative focused on developing organisational data and AI capability. This role is suited to someone who can take ownership of the end-to-end sourcing and selection process for a strategic delivery partner. Working closely with programme stakeholders, commercial teams and procurement colleagues, you will help translate Data & AI literacy ambitions into a clear scope, supplier requirements and tender process, ultimately identifying the partner best positioned to deliver the organisation's vision. This is not a training delivery role. Instead, you'll be responsible for defining requirements, managing the procurement process and recommending the most suitable supplier.

🔁Contract Type: Contract Opportunity
💼Contractors: Competitive day rate available for suitable candidates

You'll support the sourcing and selection of a strategic partner for a major Data & AI Literacy initiative, ensuring the organisation secures the capabilities required to develop data and AI skills across the business.

Success in this role will come from the ability to define clear requirements, manage a robust procurement process and guide stakeholders towards the selection of the right strategic partner. We're looking for someone who can combine commercial rigour, strong stakeholder engagement and excellent written communication to deliver a successful supplier selection outcome.
