Contract manager jobs
We are looking for a pragmatic, collaborative AI professional to join us as our AI Programme Manager at The Royal College of Radiologists (RCR). The clinical adoption of AI is becoming a central issue in medicine, and our specialities of radiology and oncology are at the forefront of this development. The RCR has a vital role to play in navigating the safe and effective implementation of this technology. This post is central to shaping the RCR’s position on AI, drawing on the expertise and insight of our members and fellows to ensure we remain leaders in this area.
We are looking for an experienced programme manager to continue to drive the AI agenda, overseeing multiple programmes and collaborating effectively with multi-disciplinary stakeholder groups across the RCR and beyond.

This role sits within our External Affairs team, reflecting the RCR’s commitment to engaging with and representing members and fellows on AI. You will build strong relationships with our data, policy, public affairs and media specialists, working together to strengthen the RCR’s member engagement and influencing work in this area. You will also collaborate with colleagues across the RCR who support the practical implementation of AI — for example, through developing guidance or planning our Global AI Conference.
The successful candidate will be results-oriented, high-performing and a skilled communicator, with the ability to lead a team of ambitious and innovative professionals.
What you’ll do
- Work with key internal and external stakeholders to deliver the College’s AI strategy, securing our position as a leading organisation in the healthcare AI space.
- Be the first point of contact for AI, both internally and externally.
- Represent the College externally in meetings, groups and other forums, including as sole representative where required.
- Manage AI workstreams in line with the College’s financial, contractual and HR delegation framework, from developing workstream plans to establishing and chairing advisory committees.
- Identify and develop new AI projects as opportunities arise, building stakeholder buy-in and converting them into funded projects with tangible outcomes for the College.
- Lead, motivate and support the AI team, fostering a productive and engaged working environment.
What you’ll need
- A keen interest in AI.
- Strong programme management experience, particularly managing, evolving projects.
- Ability to work collaboratively and build and sustain effective working relationships with a diverse range of colleagues, partners and stakeholders at all levels.
- Clear and analytical thinker.
- Ability to manage own time effectively and prioritise own work and work of others (officers) across a range of activities
- Experience leading a new area of work where flexibility, adaptability and opportunity spotting is key.
- Self-starter, confident to initiate and progress work
Our ambition is that the RCR leads the AI work in our specialities and your skills and ability to develop your AI knowledge, build relationships and lead projects of work could be what helps us achieve it. If this influential and exciting opportunity sounds like the role for you, we encourage you to find out more about it, the RCR and instructions on how to apply in the AI Manager candidate pack.
