AI Strategy and Solution Architect-Remote

About This Opportunity

Our talent team is representing a confidential technology consulting firm building out its artificial intelligence practice to serve government and enterprise clients. We're seeking a Strategic AI Architect who will serve as a trusted advisor and hands-on practitioner, helping organizations define, communicate, and execute AI roadmaps that are practical, scalable, and built to last.

This is not a theoretical role. You will build, demonstrate, and coach. You will walk into rooms full of skeptics and walk out with believers. You bring the technical credibility to design real AI systems and the communication skills to earn trust with executives, agency staff, and everyone in between.

A core part of this engagement involves helping clients understand where they are across the AI spectrum, where they should prioritize next, and how to build internal capability to sustain what is built. You will be equally comfortable in a whiteboard session as in a terminal window, and you genuinely enjoy the human side of technology adoption.

Note on Application Requirements: Strong candidates make their thinking visible. Applications without portfolio submissions will not progress past initial review. Please include:

• Resume and cover letter
• Two pieces of public-facing AI work (published articles, recorded talks, GitHub repositories, sample roadmaps or governance frameworks)
• One short paragraph (200 words or less) describing your approach to introducing AI in environments with mixed stakeholder readiness

Responsibilities

AI Roadmap and Strategy

• Develop and maintain practical AI roadmaps based on client readiness, risk tolerance, and business value
• Assess current state AI capability and translate findings into clear, phased plans
• Define governance structures, decision frameworks, and success metrics appropriate to each solution tier

Industry Awareness and Trend Translation

• Stay actively current on the rapidly evolving AI landscape
• Advise clients on model selection, platform tradeoffs, and emerging capabilities across the LLM and GenAI ecosystem
• Distinguish signal from noise, helping clients invest in approaches with staying power

Coding and Rapid Prototyping

• Use AI-native development workflows and agentic IDEs to rapidly prototype working solutions
• Demonstrate what's possible in working sessions, making abstract concepts concrete
• Leverage prompt engineering and LLM-driven code generation to accelerate development

Agentic AI Design and Orchestration

• Build client understanding of agentic AI and realistic applications in their environment
• Evaluate use cases to assess whether agentic architectures are appropriate
• Guide deployment decisions including build vs. buy, orchestration tooling, and rollout phasing

Data Privacy, Security, and AI Governance

• Evaluate and recommend data architecture patterns that protect PII and citizen data
• Design guardrails, access controls, and governance policies that enable safe AI adoption
• Help clients choose between cloud-hosted, on-premise, or hybrid architectures based on data residency requirements

Stakeholder Engagement and Change Leadership

• Engage stakeholders at all levels with approaches tailored to their concerns and readiness
• Navigate organizational complexity and resistance with patience and credibility
• Lead workshops, demonstrations, and awareness sessions that build understanding
• Coach client-side staff to build internal AI capability

Public Voice and Practice Building

• Publish thought leadership establishing credibility in the public sector AI space
• Speak at agency, industry, and conference events
• Serve as named architect on flagship engagements
