About Everfield
Everfield buys, builds, and grows European vertical market and specialist software companies, providing them with the tools they need to move to the next level. Our mission is to foster ambition, fuel growth, and unlock opportunities for Europe's software ecosystem. Companies in the Everfield ecosystem follow a decentralised model, maintaining their team, brand, and offices, while focusing on what they do best: building products and supporting customers. Everfield provides support in talent acquisition, HR, and a team of experts in building and growing European B2B SaaS companies who consult on financial and operational topics. Founded in 2022, Everfield has an ecosystem presence in 10+ countries, and growing.
The Opportunity
Most software companies know they should be using AI. Few know how to get beyond copy-pasting from ChatGPT. Everfield runs a hands-on AI enablement programme across its portfolio of European software companies. Where we have invested sustained, in-person attention, the results have been dramatic: companies moved from zero AI adoption to deploying autonomous agentic swarms in a matter of weeks. But one person cannot cover all of Europe, and the UK & Ireland & Nordics cluster needs a dedicated AI enabler on the ground. You are one of two regional cluster AI enablement hires (the other covers DACH). Your mission: raise AI maturity across every function at Everfield's UK & Ireland & Nordics portfolio companies. R&D comes first, then sales, support, professional services, and operations. You will be in the room, on the keyboard, showing people what is possible and staying with them until it sticks.
What you will do
- Assess where companies stand. Run deep-dive maturity assessments at each portfolio company. Map their tools, their gaps, and their biggest opportunities.
- Teach by doing. Deliver workshops, mini-hackathons, and roadshow events on-site. Walk developers through the implementation of coding agents, pair with support teams on AI workflows, sit with sales reps to build prompts for real deals.
- Coach across all functions. Work with developers, product managers, support teams, and operations staff, 1-on-1 and in small groups, to embed AI into daily workflows.
- Move engineering forward. Help R&D teams adopt spec-driven development and coding agents. Move them beyond autocomplete into structured, AI-augmented workflows where the biggest productivity gains sit.
- Find and activate the willing. Identify the AI champions and early adopters inside each company. Equip them to drive change from within. They become your local network.
- Take AI beyond engineering. Sales, support, professional services, and operations all have high-value AI use cases waiting to be unlocked. Find them.
- Build content that travels. Create playbooks, e-learnings and enablement materials so knowledge scales beyond your direct interactions.
- Be the bridge between UK & Ireland & Nordics and HQ. You are the ongoing conversation partner for UK & Ireland & Nordics portfolio companies on AI topics, and you relay patterns, insights, and blockers back to the central AI team.
- Prove it in the data. Track improvements in deployment frequency, features delivered, support ticket resolution time, etc. If it is not showing up in the numbers, it is not working.
What success looks like
In your first nine months: * Maturity assessments completed across all UK & Ireland & Nordics portfolio companies * At least two companies moved up one step on the AI maturity path * First round of deep-dives and roadshow events delivered * Strong working relationships with ratio owners (CTOs, Head of Sales, Head of Support, etc) * Quick wins identified and real productivity gains delivered in at least two companies
What you will get
- Unmatched breadth of experience. You will not transform one company, you will work across an entire portfolio. Every workflow you improve gets multiplied. Your learning curve is exponential.
- Direct mentorship from an AI Lead who has been driving this programme across Europe and wants to develop the next generation of AI enablers.
- Full ownership of a cluster. No layers, no approval chains. The UK & Ireland portfolio is yours to shape.
- A proving ground. If this model works, you have built the blueprint for how AI enablement scales across European software.
You will thrive here if you * Have 3–7 years of professional experience, ideally with a consulting or advisory background * Can teach in the morning and build a working prototype in the afternoon * Are genuinely curious about AI: you pay for LLM subscriptions out of your own pocket, you have a GitHub account with actual commits, and you formed strong opinions about these tools before everyone started talking about them * Are comfortable around developers without being one full-time. You can understand software, use a terminal, and hold your own in a technical conversation * Have experience with AI coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor or similar * Are self-directed and comfortable with ambiguity * Are fluent in English
You do not need to arrive fully formed. The AI Lead will invest significant time mentoring you, teaching the enablement methodology, and helping you develop technical depth. What you must bring is the curiosity and the drive to learn fast.
