Divisional Manager – Artificial Intelligence (Cubiq AI US)

Manchester City Centre – Hybrid

Cubiq is looking for a Divisional Manager to lead our Cubiq AI US practice, overseeing a multi-functional recruitment team operating across some of the most advanced areas of artificial intelligence.

This role sits at the centre of our US AI strategy, leading consultants specialising across Applied Machine Learning, AI Research, Software Engineering, Data, and Product, supporting companies developing cutting-edge AI systems and technologies.

You’ll be responsible for leading, developing, and scaling a high-performing team, while continuing to build relationships with some of the most innovative companies in the AI ecosystem.

This is a role suited to an experienced recruitment leader with the ambition to build and shape a specialist division, working alongside an established global AI practice and leveraging the strong client relationships already in place.

Cubiq has been operating in the AI market for over eight years, long before artificial intelligence became a mainstream hiring focus.

Our client base includes some of the most technically advanced AI organisations globally, as well as early-stage companies founded by leaders coming out of organisations such as OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic, Meta, and leading research labs.

Much of our work has been built through long-term relationships and reputation within the AI ecosystem, allowing us to work closely with founders, research leaders, and engineering teams on critical hires.

As Divisional Manager for Cubiq AI US, you’ll play a central role in strengthening and expanding Cubiq’s presence within this market, working alongside experienced consultants across our wider AI teams.

You’ll have the opportunity to build on an already established platform, with active client relationships, strong delivery capability, and a collaborative team environment that encourages knowledge sharing and market insight.
