Job Title: Senior AI Lead
Location: Perth, WA (On-Site)
Employment Type: Full-Time
About the role
We are working with a Perth-based organisation looking for a senior Generative AI & LLM leader to drive the design, delivery and scaling of LLM-powered solutions across the business.
This role is for someone who has personally built, evaluated and productionised GenAI solutions - not just set strategy. You will sit at the intersection of hands-on LLM development, AI product leadership and executive advisory, ensuring generative AI initiatives deliver measurable business value and can scale safely and sustainably.
You will be a key voice shaping how GenAI is applied across products, operations and decision-making, with a strong focus on real-world deployment, evaluation and governance.
Key responsibilities
* Design, build and scale LLM-powered solutions, from rapid prototypes through to production-ready systems
* Lead hands-on experimentation with GenAI, including prompt engineering, context engineering, RAG patterns and agentic workflows
* Define and implement LLM evaluation frameworks, including quality, safety, performance and business value metrics
* Translate business problems into practical GenAI use cases and AI product requirements
* Architect enterprise-grade GenAI solutions, integrating LLMs into existing platforms and workflows
* Partner with executives and product leaders to prioritise GenAI investment based on ROI, risk and feasibility
* Support pre-sales discovery and solution shaping, contributing to AI solution design and commercial proposals
* Establish responsible AI and governance frameworks for GenAI adoption
* Lead and mentor cross-functional teams across product, data science, engineering and UX
* Uplift organisational capability through GenAI workshops, playbooks and enablement
Essential experience (must-have)
* Extensive hands-on experience with LLMs and Generative AI in real production or near-production environments
* Proven delivery of GenAI use cases such as conversational assistants, copilots, RAG systems or agentic workflows
* Strong experience with prompt design, context engineering and LLM evaluation
* Ability to move seamlessly between hands-on build work and senior stakeholder engagement
* Experience shaping AI product requirements and solution architectures
* Strong understanding of AI risk, ethics, governance and safe deployment
Nice to have
* Experience in mining, energy, government or asset-heavy industries
* Pre-sales or consulting background supporting AI solution design
* Experience scaling AI from PoC → pilot → production
* Exposure to Azure, enterprise data platforms or cloud-based AI ecosystems
Why this role
* Perth-based senior GenAI role with real influence and autonomy
* Opportunity to build and ship LLM solutions, not just advise on them
* Direct access to executives and decision-makers
* Focus on impact, delivery and scale, not AI theatre
* High-trust environment with room to shape GenAI strategy and standards
