At Halfspace, part of Faculty, we help organisations use artificial intelligence to make better, more informed decisions, faster. We began by predicting outcomes in live football matches and have since delivered more than one hundred AI and data projects across industries, earning international recognition for our work.

What truly defines us is our people. Builders and practitioners who learn fast, challenge each other kindly, and bring genuine curiosity about hard problems. Our team brings together expertise across physics, engineering, mathematics, statistics, operations research, computer science, chemistry, economics, biology, design, and strategy. Halfspace is focused on deep expertise in applied AI. We describe our approach as "inch wide, mile deep".

As an Associate Engagement Manager (part-time) in our Strategy and Execution team, you will sit close to live consulting work and learn how AI strategy actually gets done. This is a student position, designed to fit alongside a bachelor’s or master’s degree, and the role is built around supporting project teams on real client engagements: research, structured analysis, slide work, and the kind of synthesis that helps senior consultants make sharper recommendations. You are here to learn the craft alongside people who do it every day.

Day to day, the work shifts as projects move. One week, it might be a piece of desk research on how a sector is adopting AI. The next, building a deck for client discussion on building a MVPs within their infrastructure. Joining client workshops to see how AI conversations land at the executive level is part of the picture too. Studies come first; the role is designed to flex around exam periods and deadlines.

You will work alongside consultants, engineers, scientists, and strategists, contributing to the same projects but at a scope that fits part-time hours. We value depth, flexibility, trust, and balance. We build a space where curious, thoughtful people can grow while working on projects that matter, alongside some of the world’s most interesting companies.
