Experience: 15 years

Location: Bengaluru — Embassy Golf Links (EGL) area | Hybrid, 3 days/week in office

We are seeking a seasoned Enterprise AI Architect to serve as the intellectual engine behind our AI strategy and architecture communication function. This role translates approved AI strategy decisions into high-quality written and visual artifacts — architecture decision records (ADRs), capability frameworks, platform narratives, strategy decks, and socialization materials — for both internal leadership and external client audiences.

The role works closely with senior leadership (directly supporting Amit) in producing content for stakeholder presentations, leadership briefings, and client-facing collateral. The ideal candidate combines deep enterprise architecture credibility with exceptional structured-writing and executive-communication skills.

Key Responsibilities

AI Vision, Strategy & Architecture Documentation

Translate approved AI strategy decisions into durable written artifacts: Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), AI capability frameworks, reference architectures, platform narratives, and target-state blueprints.
Develop and maintain the AI architecture repository — ensuring decisions, rationale, trade-offs, and dependencies are captured with rigor and traceability.
Author strategy decks and socialization materials tailored to distinct audiences: engineering teams, business unit leadership, executive committees, and external clients.

Executive & Stakeholder Content Support

Support senior leadership (Amit) in producing content for stakeholder presentations, leadership briefings, board-level updates, and client-facing collateral.
Convert complex technical concepts (agentic architectures, LLM platform design, data governance, security postures) into crisp, decision-oriented narratives.
Ensure consistency of messaging, terminology, and visual identity across all strategy and architecture artifacts.

Architecture Advisory

Participate in AI strategy and architecture review forums; capture decisions and articulate their downstream architectural implications.
Evaluate emerging AI platforms, patterns, and vendor capabilities; produce point-of-view (PoV) papers and comparative assessments.
Provide architectural guardrails and framework inputs to delivery teams executing AI programs (POCs, pilots, production rollouts).

Required Qualifications & Experience

15 years of overall IT experience, with significant time in enterprise architecture, solution architecture, or technology strategy roles.
Demonstrated experience in AI/ML or GenAI programs — platform architecture, LLM integration, cloud AI services (Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, GCP Vertex, or equivalent).
Proven track record producing executive-grade written artifacts: ADRs, capability models, reference architectures, strategy documents, and C-suite presentations.
Strong command of enterprise architecture frameworks (TOGAF or equivalent) and modern cloud-native architecture patterns.
Exceptional written communication — able to write with precision, structure, and audience awareness.
Advanced proficiency with PowerPoint and document design; ability to independently produce polished, client-ready decks.
Experience working directly with senior executives and translating their intent into finished artifacts with minimal iteration.

Preferred Qualifications

Consulting or advisory background with enterprise clients (financial services exposure a plus).
Familiarity with AI governance, responsible AI frameworks, data residency, and enterprise security requirements (Entra ID, in-tenant deployment models, zero data egress patterns).
Exposure to agentic AI frameworks (LangGraph, Google ADK, Copilot Studio, or similar).
TOGAF, Azure Solutions Architect, or comparable certifications.

Success Measures (First 6–12 Months)

A fully operational ADR and architecture documentation practice with consistent templates and cadence.
Leadership and client-facing decks produced on time, requiring minimal senior rework.
Positive stakeholder feedback on clarity and decision-usefulness of strategy artifacts.
