What to search under

  • Search by the work (adoption, enablement, transformation, training, automation), not by a single job title.
  • Also search without the word AI. 30 of the 119 live jobs would not appear in an "AI" title search.
  • Start with the live jobs and the London list, and use the glossary when a title is unfamiliar.

What to call the role

For employers: name the work and the level in the title (for example AI Enablement Lead or AI Adoption Manager). Keep AI in the title when the work is AI-led, so the role can be found. See how to hire and the AI adoption lead job description.

How this compares with other studies

The MTF Institute report AI Enablement Work in 2026: Evidence from 100 Current Vacancies (published 25 Aug 2026, updated 31 Aug 2026) read 100 vacancies and found 82 exact titles, 75 used once. Its sample was purposive and covers more than the UK or an unknown mix. Ours is a curated UK feed, so the two counts are not directly comparable.
