with us\nThe AI Architect is responsible for defining and steering the AI strategy for telecommunications network management, working closely with the AI Architect to establish the target AI implementation architecture and a phased roadmap toward achieving full autonomy in network operations, aligned with TM Forum Autonomous Network Level 4 and Level 5.\nA core aspect of the role is active engagement with systems analysts and development teams across the organization, ensuring that AI-related design, implementation, and operational practices are consistent, scalable, and aligned with the agreed strategic and architectural direction.\nThis is a strategic role, shaping how AI is applied coherently across products, platforms, and domains rather than delivering isolated solutions.\nWhat you will Do\nDefine and support AI strategies for telecom network management and automation.\nIdentify business and operational opportunities where AI can improve network performance, assurance and efficiency.\nLead or support AI proof-of-concepts, including defining the problem, data requirements, target users, success measures and technical approach.\nTranslate successful proofs of concept into scalable product, platform or operational capabilities.\nWork with systems analysts, architects and development teams to align AI solutions with broader OSS, orchestration, assurance and cloud-native architectures.\nSupport the design of AI-enabled control loops, decision-making processes, confidence scoring, explainability, guardrails and rollback mechanisms.\nContribute to roadmaps for intelligent, intent-driven and increasingly autonomous network operations.\nPromote reusable AI patterns, services, data abstractions and design practices across teams.\nCommunicate AI opportunities, risks and implementation choices to technical, product and senior business stakeholders.\nHelp establish appropriate governance, observability, auditability and operational-readiness practices for AI solutions.\nWhat you will Bring\nAI transformation experience\nProven experience transitioning a non-AI business area, department, product or operational process into an AI-enabled capability.\nEvidence of delivered or piloted AI solutions that produced measurable business, customer or operational value.\nExperience moving beyond experimentation and addressing adoption, integration, governance and production-readiness challenges.\nExamples may include:AI-assisted network assurance\nPredictive fault or capacity management\nAutomated incident diagnosis\nSelf-healing or closed-loop operations\nAI-enabled customer or operational support\nIntelligent knowledge-management solutions\nLLM or agent-based workflow automation\n\nAI and emerging technologies\nPractical understanding of AI/ML concepts and their application in enterprise or telecom environments.\nExperience with one or more of the following:Large Language Models (LLMs)\nAgentic AI and AI agents\nNCP\nKnowledge graphs\nRetrieval-augmented generation\nExplainable and governed AI\nAI evaluation, monitoring and operational controls\n\nAbility to distinguish viable AI use cases from technology demonstrations with limited business value.\nSystems analysis and architecture\nExperience in systems analysis, requirements definition, process modelling or solution design.\nUnderstanding of distributed, cloud-native and microservices-based architectures.\nAbility to map business problems to data, AI, decision and execution components.\nFamiliarity with APIs, data flows, system integration and operational dependencies.\nKnowledge of telecom network management, OSS, orchestration or assurance is strongly preferred.\nTelecom and autonomous networks (Not essential but good to have)\nUnderstanding of network-management domains such as RAN, Transport, Core and Cloud.\nFamiliarity with TM Forum, 3GPP, ETSI, Open APIs or multi-vendor environments.\nAwareness of autonomous-network concepts, including closed-loop operations, intent-based management and progressive reduction of manual intervention.\nCollaboration and influence\nAbility to work across product management, architecture, systems analysis and distributed development teams.\nStrong communication skills, including the ability to explain AI concepts to non-specialist stakeholders.\nExperience influencing decisions without direct line authority.\nA pragmatic, outcome-focused approach to balancing innovation with delivery, risk and maintainability.\nWhat success looks like\nWithin the first stages of the role, the successful candidate will be able to:\nIdentify and prioritise high-value AI opportunities.\nDefine and deliver credible AI proof-of-concepts.\nDemonstrate measurable value from AI adoption.\nEstablish a practical path from proof of concept to production.\nImprove alignment between business needs, systems architecture and AI implementation.\nHelp teams adopt consistent, reusable and governed AI practices.\nBuild stakeholder confidence in the safe and effective use of AI.\nEducation and experience\nTypically five plusyears of relevant professional experience in AI, systems analysis, software, telecom, architecture, product development or digital transformation.\nA degree in computer science, engineering, telecommunications, data science or a related discipline is advantageous.\nEquivalent practical experience and a strong portfolio of delivered AI initiatives will be considered.\nWhat we offer\nThis is a hybrid position (3 days per week on site) based at
