Senior AI Automation Architect

Senior AI & Automation Architect

We are seeking an experienced AI & Automation Architect to lead the adoption and practical application of artificial intelligence, intelligent automation, and predictive technologies across our Application Management Services (AMS), Application Development Services (ADS), Service Desk, and End-User/Deskside Support environments. This is a senior, hands-on technology leadership role for an individual who has demonstrated real-world experience designing, implementing, and operationalizing AI and automation solutions within complex enterprise IT environments. The successful candidate will work across multiple technology and delivery teams to help identify opportunities where AI, machine learning, intelligent automation, analytics, and orchestration can improve the efficiency, quality, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of IT services.

The role will combine strategic advisory responsibilities with hands-on technical delivery. A key focus of this position will be moving IT operations from a primarily reactive model toward a predictive and proactive operating model using data, AI, automation, and observability to identify potential issues before they impact users or business services and, where appropriate, automatically take corrective action without requiring human intervention. The successful candidate will establish best practices and standard approaches, coach and mentor multiple technical teams, help develop AI and automation roadmaps, and actively participate in the design and implementation of solutions. This individual must be comfortable working with technical teams, business stakeholders, clients, architects, project managers, business analysts, developers, service desk personnel, and IT operations teams. Strong communication, consulting, facilitation, and relationship-building skills are essential.

Success in this role will be measured not simply by the number of AI initiatives launched, but by measurable improvements in IT service delivery and business outcomes.

Key Objectives of the Role

A major focus will be identifying opportunities to predict future operational events and automatically take action before human intervention is required. The goal is to create increasingly autonomous IT services that can detect emerging problems, determine the appropriate response, execute corrective actions, and verify that the issue has been resolved.

Establish and promote enterprise-level AI and automation strategies, standards, patterns, and best practices across Application Management, Application Development, Service Desk, and End-User Computing services.

Identify and evaluate opportunities where AI and automation can improve service delivery, reduce operational effort, increase quality, reduce costs, and improve the end-user experience.

Help teams transition from reactive incident resolution to predictive, proactive, and self-healing operations.

Guide teams in determining where AI is appropriate and where traditional automation, orchestration, analytics, or process improvement may be more effective.

Develop repeatable approaches and reference architectures that can be adopted across multiple teams and clients.

Provide hands-on technical support to teams implementing AI and automation solutions.

Coach architects, developers, analysts, project managers, operations teams, and other technical resources on practical AI and automation capabilities.

Assist in evaluating emerging AI technologies and determining their practical applicability within enterprise IT.

Demonstrate measurable business and operational value from AI and automation initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

The successful candidate will be expected to roll up their sleeves and work directly with delivery teams. The individual should be capable of demonstrating solutions, not simply recommending that others build them.

Coaching, mentoring and enablement acting as a trusted technical advisor and coach to multiple delivery teams.

Develop and maintain an AI and Automation strategy for IT service delivery and application services, including standard architectures, design patterns, frameworks, and implementation approaches for AI and automation.

Assess emerging technologies including generative AI, machine learning, predictive analytics, AI agents, intelligent automation, AIOps, process automation, orchestration, and natural language interfaces.

Help establish appropriate AI governance and controls to ensure AI and automation solutions are secure, responsible, reliable, and supportable, considering data privacy, security, confidentiality, and access controls.

Work with delivery teams and clients to identify, assess, prioritize, and develop AI and automation use cases. This may include facilitating discovery workshops and analyzing existing processes to identify repetitive, manual, error-prone, or high-volume activities.

Help teams move promising concepts from ideation and proof-of-concept through production implementation.

Provide technical leadership and hands-on assistance in applying AI and automation to application operations and support.

Designing and developing prototypes and proof-of-concepts and developing integrations between AI platforms and enterprise systems.
