Description:
A leading global banking and financial services group is expanding its AI & Innovation team within Architecture & Engineering, at a pivotal stage of its enterprise AI journey. We're looking for a hands-on AI Solutions Architect to take end-to-end ownership of AI solution design — from use case intake through to governance approval and production delivery.
The Role
- Own AI solutions from initial use case intake through to production deployment
- Translate business requirements into end-to-end solution architectures aligned to enterprise technology stack
- Design and implement AI solutions across Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, Power Platform, Azure AI services, and GCP
- Lead solution design through Solution Design Authority (SDA) and internal architecture governance forums
- Own architecture artefacts — design documents, technical specs, integration patterns, governance submissions
- Drive AI governance processes — risk assessments, control alignment, production readiness
- Act as technical point of accountability for solution design decisions across the delivery lifecycle
- Design with full consideration of integration, data flows, identity, security boundaries, and operational resilience
- Support prototyping, validation, and troubleshooting hands-on alongside engineering teams
- Develop reusable architecture patterns and technical guidance for common AI use cases
What You'll Bring
- Strong understanding of GenAI solution architectures — LLMs, agent-based patterns, workflow orchestration, enterprise AI integration
- Practical experience with RAG, knowledge grounding, prompt engineering, human-in-the-loop design
- Experience designing secure, governed AI solutions — guardrails, responsible AI, explainability
- Proven delivery of complex technology solutions in a regulated enterprise environment, ownership from requirements through production
- Hands-on solution architecture experience — translating business needs into implementable designs
- Experience with enterprise AI platforms (Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, Azure AI, Power Platform, or equivalent)
- Ability to lead through formal architecture governance processes (SDA or equivalent)
- Experience with AI governance, risk, and control functions — security, data privacy, auditability, regulatory compliance
- Strong technical foundation in enterprise architecture — cloud, infrastructure, networking, IAM, security
