AI Capability Lead - Revenue Growth Manager

We're looking for an AI Capability Lead - Revenue Growth Manager to join our Empathy Lab team in London, in a hybrid working mode.

This is an opportunity for a commercially-led practice owner to build and scale our AI-enabled RGM (Revenue Growth Management) forecasting and decisioning offering: from GTM strategy through to a live revenue target. This is a builder role, not a delivery or advisory-hours role: you'll shape the offering, run the go-to-market and own the number.

About Empathy Lab

Empathy Lab by EPAM is an AI-native agency built on the belief that the most valuable growth in the AI era comes from pairing human judgment with machine intelligence. We help CMOs, Chief Commercial Officers and senior business leaders convert data and AI into measurable commercial outcomes, not just recommendations.

You'll bring a consultant's instincts - sharp diagnosis, structured advisory, and the executive presence to hold peer-level conversations with senior commercial buyers. But the endpoint of every engagement is scaled technology delivery revenue, not advisory hours. If you're energized by billable strategy work, this isn't the role. If you're energized by turning strategic conversations into signed, delivered technology revenue, it is.

Interested in shaping an offering, running go-to-market and holding a revenue target? We'd love to chat.
