AI Systems Architect

Our client seeks an experienced AI Systems Architect to join their team.

You will take ownership of the company's entire AI and automation agenda: identifying process improvement opportunities, integrating AI tools with the ERP system, automating workflows, establishing governance frameworks, and rolling out successful solutions across a global network. It is a high-visibility, high-impact role with real scope for career progression.

This is not a role for a traditional IT professional, and to be considered, candidates should be able to demonstrate examples of AI solutions they have personally designed, implemented and deployed within a business environment, outlining the challenges addressed and the tangible outcomes achieved.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and implement a comprehensive AI and automation roadmap aligned with business priorities.
• Review existing processes and identify opportunities to improve efficiency, accuracy, and staff productivity.
• Design and integrate AI tools with the ERP system and other core business applications.
• Automate repetitive tasks and improve access to business-critical information.
• Manage projects end-to-end, from initial concept through testing, implementation, and ongoing refinement.
• Establish clear policies and governance frameworks covering data security, responsible use, reliability, and human oversight.
• Deliver practical training, guidance, and ongoing support to colleagues at all levels.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and suppliers to identify the most suitable solutions.
• Measure the impact of improvements and share successful approaches across the global network.

Key Skills and Experience:

• Significant demonstrable experience designing and implementing AI, automation, or integrated business systems.
• Strong understanding of ERP systems, business process improvement, and application/data integration.
• The ability to combine technical depth with a practical, solutions-focused approach to business problems.
• A proven track record of turning ideas into reliable, user-friendly solutions.
• Solid knowledge of data security principles, AI governance, and responsible AI frameworks.
• Clear, confident communication with stakeholders at all levels.
• Experience within engineering, manufacturing, or an international business environment is advantageous.
