AI Solutions Architect

As an AI Solutions Architect, you'll be hands-on in developing, testing, and deploying AI solutions that integrate seamlessly into enterprise systems and project-level applications. You'll play a lead role in a brand-new ERP rollout, building the AI foundation and integration strategy from the ground up. Working within a lean, global IT team and reporting directly to the IT Leader. You'll partner across business and technology teams to reduce manual effort, improve decision-making, and support scalable growth, making this one of those rare opportunities where your work touches nearly every corner of the organization.

This is a builder's role: we're looking for someone who can move fluidly between architecture-level strategy and hands-on implementation, not a strategy-only consultant or a pure researcher.
