*Unfortunately, we are unable to provide sponsorship for this position*

Location: Hybrid - Leeds (Flexible - up to 3 days per week on occasion)

Employment type: Contract

Day rate: £500 per day (outside IR35)

Our client is a technology services partner working jointly with a UK public sector customer to run an AI Centre of Excellence. The CoE has been up and running for a few months, the foundations are in place, and the focus now is on accelerating delivery and finding new use cases.

What you'll be doing as an AI Architect

• Owning the AI roadmap for the software delivery lifecycle and turning it into a plan the team can deliver
• Identifying and delivering new AI use cases, starting with quick wins and potentially extending into business and operations functions
• Setting technical and architectural direction, working hands-on alongside the team
• Leading and energising a small, distributed CoE team
• Building trust with customer stakeholders and keeping the roadmap aligned to their priorities

What we're looking for from the AI Architect

• Hands-on delivery of AI solutions, ideally applied to software engineering
• Solution or technical architecture experience, with AWS a strong plus
• Experience leading a client-facing team or Centre of Excellence
• Strong communication skills and a proactive, high-energy approach
• UK public sector experience preferred, but not essential
