As a Director, you will lead a team of senior architects supporting business leaders by providing deep technical expertise, architectural rigor and scalable solution design. You will ensure that complex business requirements are translated into robust, delivery-ready AI architectures. A key focus of this role is enabling high-quality solutions from the outset—reducing rework, avoiding bespoke designs, and increasing the reuse of proven assets and patterns.

- Acting as the senior technical authority in complex client and internal discussions
- Improving the quality, consistency and robustness of solution design and proposals
- Working closely with engineering and delivery teams to ensure alignment between design and implementation
- Engaging with senior stakeholders to challenge assumptions and guide technical decision‑making
This Role Is For You If You Have
- Proven experience leading solution architecture or technical pre‑sales teams
- Strong background in designing enterprise‑scale AI and data‑driven solutions
- Demonstrated experience translating early‑stage concepts into scalable technical architectures
- Ability to balance commercial urgency with sound architectural governance
- Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence at senior levels without direct authority
