THE ROLE

As Technology AI Business Partner, you will play a critical role in translating British Land’s AI strategy into practical, value‑led delivery across the business. You will act as a key enabler connecting Technology, Governance and business teams, ensuring AI tools and automation are deployed where they create clear value, within defined governance and risk guardrails.

It is a hands‑on, commercially focused business partnering role, responsible for:

  • Supporting the Digital Skills & AI Forum to drive adoption of AI productivity tools
  • Supporting well‑governed AI proofs of concept (PoCs)
  • Helping teams translate real business problems into clearly scoped, value‑led AI initiatives
  • Ensuring AI activity is tracked, governed and aligned to strategic priorities

You will operate across all four pillars of the AI strategy — productivity tools, specialist AI, back‑office automation and front‑office platforms — working closely with business leaders, the AI Board, and the Digital Skills & AI Forum.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

AI Strategy & Business Partnering

  • Act as the day‑to‑day business partner for AI adoption, supporting teams across Corporate, Real Estate, Development and Operations.
  • Translate strategic objectives into practical AI use cases, with clear outcomes, benefits and delivery plans.
  • Help teams distinguish between everyday productivity use, specialist AI tools and higher‑risk agentic or workflow automation.

Productivity Tools & Adoption

  • Provide hands‑on expertise and content to the Digital Skills & AI Forum to support adoption and effective use of approved AI productivity tools (e.g. Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT where approved).
  • Work hands‑on with teams to identify high‑value use cases, improve ways of working and build practical AI confidence.
  • Support and contribute to the Digital Skills & AI Forum, sharing best practice and surfacing emerging needs and risks.

Proofs of Concept & Specialist Tools

  • Partner with business teams to shape specialist AI opportunities by structuring use cases, defining success measures, developing business cases, and scoping proposals for governance. Tool identification remains business‑led; the Tech AI Business Partner ensures ideas are robust and delivery‑ready before entering the governance process.
  • Coordinate PoCs with Tech colleagues and suppliers to ensure timely, well‑governed delivery.Ensure benefits, costs and risks are documented and visible within the AI use‑case portfolio.

Governance, Risk & Value Tracking

  • Ensure AI initiatives follow agreed governance and acceptable‑use frameworks, escalating appropriately based on risk.
  • Support the AI Board through accurate use‑case documentation, benefits tracking and early visibility of issues.
  • Help embed consistent benefits tracking so AI value is measurable, not anecdotal.
  • Support the demand‑shaping and scoping of material back‑office automation initiatives — those that go beyond the Microsoft suite, require architectural input or carry significant scope.
  • Work closely with the Head of Technology Business Partnering to ensure the Technology perspective is properly represented, and with the Head of PMO & Value Architecture to ensure alignment with portfolio governance.
  • Delivery resource for these initiatives will be commissioned on a project basis; this role provides the requirements and scoping input that makes commissioning effective.

ABOUT YOU

  • You are a strong business technologist who combines commercial awareness with the ability to work hands‑on with teams.
  • You are comfortable operating in emerging, ambiguous spaces, but disciplined about structure, governance and outcomes.

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

  • Experience in a Technology Business Partner, Business Analyst or similar role, working closely with non‑technical stakeholders.
  • Strong understanding of how digital and AI tools can improve processes, productivity and decision‑making.
  • Experience shaping requirements, business cases and benefits tracking.
  • Ability to explain AI concepts clearly and pragmatically to non‑technical audiences.
  • Comfortable navigating governance, risk and compliance considerations.
  • Strong stakeholder management and facilitation skills.

PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES

  • Commercially minded and outcome‑focused.
  • Confident working across multiple teams and priorities.
  • Pragmatic, structured and calm in ambiguity.
  • Curious, with a genuine interest in how AI is changing ways of working.
  • Credible and trusted — able to challenge constructively where needed.

INCLUSION

We are committed to providing an accessible and inclusive process.
