CFGI is independent of audit and vendor relationships, advising CFOs, boards, and private equity sponsors without conflict. AI Services is CFGI's newest practice: a horizontal capability that helps clients assess AI and data readiness, stand up governance, and operationalize AI across the finance function and the enterprise. This is a founding-team seat with direct influence over how the practice is built.\nTHE ROLE\nYou are the practice's senior technical authority and a player-coach. You serve as lead technical assessor inside every diagnostic, convert findings into buildable and commercially scoped roadmaps, and personally ship the first client builds while hiring the engineering team behind you. You are equally credible whiteboarding with a CIO and shipping production code the same afternoon.\nWHAT YOU WILL DO\nServe as lead technical assessor on readiness diagnostics: data, architecture, tooling, and security scans.\nTranslate diagnostic findings into buildable roadmaps and scoped, priced statements of work.\nPersonally design and ship early client builds: agents, workflow automation, and data products.\nDefine the practice's technical delivery method: agentic design patterns, evaluation, security, and deployment standards.\nOwn the practice's platform depth across Claude Enterprise, Claude Code, Cowork, MCP integration, and adjacent tooling.\nBuild and lead the Delivery Pod: hire and coach AI and data engineers; quality-assure every build.\nAct as technical authority in pursuits; defend architectures and estimates with client technology leadership.\nWHAT YOU MUST HAVE\n12+ years across solutions architecture, engineering leadership, or applied AI, including 3+ years client-facing or pre-sales.\nHave taken large language model or agentic systems to production at enterprise scale, beyond proofs of concept.\nWHAT SETS YOU APART\nDeep hands-on capability: Python and TypeScript; orchestration and loop design; subagent patterns; evaluation harnesses; memory architectures including graph-based memory.\nEnterprise architecture and security fluency: identity, data protection, deployment models, integration patterns.\nCommercial scoping and estimation discipline; comfortable owning margin on technical work.\nConsulting or professional services delivery background.\nExperience in regulated industries or private equity portfolio environments.\nNICE TO HAVE\nVisible technical eminence: open-source contribution, technical writing, or conference speaking.\nHOW SUCCESS IS MEASURED, FIRST TWELVE MONTHS\nTechnical findings sections rated credible by client CIO and data leadership.\nRoadmap-to-signed-build conversion on assessed accounts.\nFirst client builds shipped to production quality with documented standards.\nDelivery Pod hired and delivering against the defined technical method.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3200,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":12,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Financial Advisory, Valuation & Restructuring","Accounting & Bookkeeping Services","Tax Advisory & Preparation"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-13T19:24:54Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Filed H-1B visas in the last two years","filings_12m":0,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":41,"expected_fill_days":555,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cfgi-ai-solutions-architecture-managing-director","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cfgi-ai-solutions-architecture-managing-director.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T13:49:09Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":13160,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":672933},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=672933"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcfgi-ai-solutions-architecture-managing-director"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcfgi-ai-solutions-architecture-managing-director"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcfgi-ai-solutions-architecture-managing-director"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cfgi-ai-solutions-architecture-managing-director\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcfgi-ai-solutions-architecture-managing-director"}]}
