One role, three ways to fill it.

Placement

For organisations that need an AI ethicist in-house, full-time, owning the work end to end. We run the search, evidence each candidate's competence with the reasoning shown, weigh recognised credentials like AIGP and relevant experience alongside it where a candidate already has them, then hand you a shortlist rather than a stack of CVs.

• Best when AI is core to what you do and the risk is continuous.
• A fee on hire, not a retainer to start the search.
• We help design the role's reporting line and independence before day one.
• The same rigour as a specialist executive search, applied to a narrower brief.

Fractional

The right answer for most. A seasoned ethicist embedded a few days a month, adding real judgement to your ethics reviews, product launches, and the awkward escalations, for a fraction of a full-time cost. You get senior judgement without carrying a senior salary. See what actually drives that cost.

• Best for SMEs and mid-sized teams shipping AI without a full-time need.
• Scale the days up around a launch, down when it is quiet.
• Continuity: the same person, who learns your context, not a new contractor each time.
• Our most popular engagement, and usually the fastest to start.

Rotation & Pupillage

Two ways to build capacity rather than just rent it. Rotation places one ethicist across a cohort of organisations on fixed secondments, which manufactures the independence the role structurally lacks and spreads the cost. Pupillage hosts a supervised practitioner earning real hours under an accredited mentor, growing the profession's pipeline.

• Rotation suits cohorts, accelerators, and sector groups with shared needs.
• Pupillage suits organisations that want to develop talent, not just consume it.
• Both produce portable evidence of practice.
• The slowest to set up, and the most worth it.
