You'll bring: • Proven experience designing and delivering enterprise AI solutions in production environments, • Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft / Azure AI Foundry and Copilot Studio (essential), • Deep understanding of Generative AI, LLM architectures, RAG and AI agents, • Experience building AI solutions beyond proof-of-concept into scalable production services, • Strong Azure and Microsoft ecosystem expertise, • Experience with AI governance, security, data privacy and Responsible AI principles, • Understanding of modern data platforms and AI-ready data architectures, • Experience working with senior technical and business stakeholders, • Strong consulting skills with the ability to translate complex AI concepts into business outcomes, • The ability to provide technical leadership while remaining close to delivery Why This Opportunity Stands Out AI is not an experiment here it is a strategic investment area with executive sponsorship, significant client demand and a growing pipeline of enterprise transformation programmes. You'll have the opportunity to: • Work on complex AI challenges at enterprise scale, • Design solutions using the latest Microsoft AI technologies, • Influence AI adoption across major organisations, • Work alongside leading specialists across AI, data and cloud, • Shape reusable AI frameworks and best practices, • Continue developing your expertise through certifications, innovation and training The AI market is crowded with organisations experimenting, this opportunity is with a business that's already delivering.
