About the job you are considering

Capgemini's Insights & Data practice helps leading organizations harness data, AI, and analytics to drive innovation, efficiency, and transformation.

As part of our global Scale Agentic Squad, the AI Solution Leader plays a critical role in helping clients design and adopt enterprise-scale Agentic AI and Generative AI solutions.

Working closely with an AI Growth Leader in a "two-in-a-box" model, you will serve as the technical lead for strategic AI opportunities, shaping solution architecture, designing business-focused AI propositions, and creating the demonstrations and prototypes that bring those solutions to life.

You will work directly with client technology leaders, helping organizations move from AI ambition to production-ready solutions that deliver measurable business value.

The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

Your Role

As an AI Solution Leader, you will serve as the technical lead for Capgemini's most strategic AI transformation opportunities, helping clients move from experimentation to enterprise-scale adoption of Generative AI and Agentic AI.

Working in a "two-in-a-box" partnership with the AI Growth Leader, you will combine deep architecture expertise, consulting skills, and business acumen to define innovative solutions that address complex business challenges while delivering measurable value.

You will be a trusted advisor to client executives, technology leaders, and architects, shaping AI strategies, target architectures, and implementation roadmaps that enable organizations to realize the full potential of AI.

You will play a pivotal role throughout the pre-sales and early delivery lifecycle, leading discovery sessions, assessing business and technical requirements, architecting scalable AI solutions, and creating compelling demonstrations and proof-of-value initiatives.

By partnering with account teams, delivery leaders, and strategic technology partners, you will help clients confidently navigate the rapidly evolving AI landscape while ensuring solutions are secure, scalable, and aligned with enterprise standards.

Key responsibilities include

• Lead discovery workshops with business and technology stakeholders to identify high-value AI use cases, business outcomes, and transformation opportunities.

• Develop tailored demonstrations, prototypes, and proof-of-value solutions that showcase AI capabilities and accelerate client decision-making.
• Partner closely with the AI Growth Leader to shape client opportunities, create compelling proposals, and articulate business and technical value to executive stakeholders.
• Engage directly with CIOs, CTOs, Chief Architects, CDOs, and security leaders to define target-state architectures and AI adoption strategies.
