The Network has been engaged by our client to source an experienced AI Solution Designer to support the design and delivery of enterprise AI capabilities across a modern cloud and data platform environment.

This is an exciting opportunity for a solution-focused professional who can bridge architecture, governance, data, cloud, security, and AI technologies. The role will play a key part in shaping scalable AI solutions while working closely with architecture, security, infrastructure, and business stakeholders.

This is not a pure development role, nor is it focused on AI research. Instead, we're seeking someone who can design end-to-end solutions, navigate enterprise governance processes, and provide practical guidance on the implementation of modern AI platforms and technologies.

Key Responsibilities

- Design end-to-end AI and data solutions across a up-to-date cloud ecosystem.
- Produce high-quality solution designs, architecture artefacts, and technical documentation.
- Lead solution discovery and design workshops with business and technology stakeholders.
- Present designs through architecture review boards and governance forums.
- Ensure solutions align with enterprise security, risk, and compliance requirements.
- Collaborate with infrastructure, security, data, and platform teams to deliver integrated outcomes.
- Contribute to AI platform capability development and reusable architectural patterns.
- Support the ongoing evolution of AI, data, and cloud platforms within the organisation.
