Remote (UK) | Occasional Client Travel
AI is moving beyond experimentation and this consultancy is helping some of the UK's largest organisations turn AI ambition into real-world capability. We're looking for an experienced AI Architect to join a growing AI practice, designing and delivering secure, scalable and production-ready AI solutions across enterprise environments.
This is a role for someone who understands that successful AI transformation requires more than selecting the latest models. It requires strong architecture, robust data foundations, governance, security, and the ability to translate emerging technologies into measurable business outcomes.
Working across Generative AI, Agentic AI, Machine Learning and enterprise data platforms, you'll help organisations move from AI strategy and proof-of-concept through to scalable production adoption. You'll work closely with senior stakeholders, technical teams and delivery specialists to define AI architectures, establish best practices and shape how enterprise AI is built and deployed.
This is not a role focused purely on governance or architecture documentation. You'll remain close to the technology, influencing design decisions, guiding delivery teams and helping build solutions that create genuine business impact.
What You'll Be Doing
- You'll lead the architecture and delivery of enterprise AI solutions across the full lifecycle from discovery and strategy through to implementation and scale.
- Your responsibilities will include:
- Designing enterprise-scale Generative AI, Agentic AI and Machine Learning architectures
- Creating AI solutions using Microsoft Foundry / Azure AI Foundry and Copilot Studio (essential)
- Defining AI platforms, frameworks and reference architectures for large organisations
- Designing intelligent agent solutions, AI assistants and LLM-powered applications
- Developing secure and governed AI approaches aligned with Responsible AI principles
- Advising senior stakeholders on AI strategy, technology choices and investment decisions
- Supporting client engagements from early discovery through production deployment
- Creating reusable AI accelerators, patterns and delivery frameworks
- Providing technical leadership and guidance to engineering and delivery teams
- Supporting the continued growth and maturity of the AI consulting practice
Technology Environment
You'll work across a modern Microsoft-focused AI ecosystem including:
- Microsoft Foundry / Azure AI Foundry (mandatory experience)
- Microsoft Copilot Studio (mandatory experience)
- Azure AI Services
- Azure OpenAI Service
- Microsoft Agent Framework
- Semantic Kernel
- Power Platform
- Enterprise Data Platforms
- Azure Machine Learning
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
