The opportunity
We are seeking a Manager, AI Architect specializing in generative AI to lead the design and delivery of Gen AI solutions for our clients.
This is a hands‑on delivery and technical management role: you will own the architecture of a defined solution area or workstream, lead a small delivery team, and ensure your solutions run reliably in production.
You will work closely with client teams and communicate technical decisions clearly to project stakeholders.
- Your Key Responsibilities
- Design and Delivery of Engagements
- Own the architecture and technical delivery of a Gen AI solution area or workstream, from design through production rollout.
- Lead a small cross‑functional delivery team (engineers, data specialists) through the delivery lifecycle.
- Ensure solutions are scalable, secure, resilient, and cost‑aware in production.
- Manage delivery execution: architecture decisions within scope, technical risks, dependencies, quality checks, and blocker resolution.
- Apply engineering standards, reusable frameworks, and accelerators to improve delivery quality and speed.
- Take accountability for delivery quality, timelines, and outcomes within your workstream.
- Technical Direction
- Design generative AI solutions: LLM selection, RAG pipelines, prompt orchestration, agentic workflows, and integration.
- Build solutions for insurance use cases (claims intake automation, submission triage, document intelligence, underwriting copilots, policy Q&A, contact‑center copilots).
- Design and tune RAG systems: chunking, embeddings, vector stores, retrieval tuning, and grounding to reduce hallucination.
- Implement multi‑agent and tool‑calling workflows that automate insurance processes.
- Apply LLMOps and quality practices: prompt engineering, evaluation, guardrails, monitoring, versioning, and cost/latency optimization.
- Apply responsible AI practices: hallucination controls, PII handling, bias mitigation, explainability, and compliance (NAIC, GDPR, EU AI Act).
- Support integration with core insurance platforms (Guidewire, Duck Creek, Sapiens) and enterprise data/content systems.
- Leadership & Communication
- Act as a technical point of contact and advisor to client project stakeholders.
- Translate Gen AI concepts, tradeoffs, and risks into clear explanations for technical and business audiences.
- Prepare and deliver clear presentations and demos to project stakeholders.
- Coordinate across business, IT, and compliance stakeholders on solution decisions.
- Guide and mentor junior engineers and consultants; help uphold technical standards.

- Experience in technology, including hands‑on delivery of enterprise solutions and delivering production generative AI initiatives.
- Hands‑on experience delivering production‑grade systems.
- Hands‑on experience with LLMs (Open AI, Anthropic, Google, or open‑weight models like Llama/Mistral) and orchestration frameworks (Lang Chain, Llama Index, Semantic Kernel, or equivalent).
- Practical expertise in RAG design, embeddings, and vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector, Azure AI Search).
- Experience with agentic architectures, function/tool calling, and structured outputs.
- Solid prompt engineering, evaluation, and LLM guardrail/safety experience.
- Experience with cloud Gen AI platforms (Azure Open AI, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI) and LLMOps tooling.
- Good understanding of system design, API design, integration patterns, and secure handling of sensitive data.
- Working knowledge of responsible AI and model governance.
- Strong communication skills, able to explain complex concepts clearly.
- The following will be an advantage;
- Experience delivering Gen AI or AI/ML solutions in insurance or financial services.
- Familiarity with insurance core platforms (Guidewire, Duck Creek, Sapiens) and document‑heavy workflows (ACORD forms, loss runs, policy documents).
- Experience taking Gen AI solutions from proof‑of‑concept toward production.
- Relevant cloud or AI certifications.
