Are you excited about bringing AI into industrial and manufacturing environments? Then this AI-Driven Solution Architect role might be just right for you.\nNortal is looking for an AI-Driven Solution Architect to join impactful projects with our enterprise customers, particularly in industrial and manufacturing environments. You will work closely with customers and our development teams, getting to know their business through active stakeholder discussions and shaping what you learn into high-value solution opportunities. Along the way you gather and refine requirements, demonstrate solutions, and look for the best ways to support our customers' business goals.\nIn this role you act as both a technical expert and a business development enabler. You lead presales activities, ask the right questions, and turn limited information into a clear solution concept, backed by proposals, effort estimates and architecture that our teams can deliver. You work side by side with our sales team to help us grow with our customers, and you split your time between advisory work and pre-sales. The pace is often fast, with several tracks running at once.\nWhat you will do\nSupport customers in their digital transformation across areas such as data modelling and architecture, system integrations, platform modernization, factory and IT/OT environments (including edge and MES), and AI-driven solutions.\nLead regular customer discussions, also independently, to understand their needs, translate them into actionable requirements and open new doors in customer organizations.\nLead presales activities by shaping customers' business and operations into solution concepts and proposals, creating proposal presentations and providing effort estimates, and work together with sales to help us grow our customer accounts.\nTranslate high-level architectural directions and customer roadmap items into concrete guidance and a sufficiently accurate backlog for our development teams' architects and product owners.\nProduce documentation, technical diagrams, architectural notes, and decision records.\nWork closely with development team’s architects/engineers to clarify technical implications, even if you don’t write code yourself, and contribute hands-on when needed.\nCollaborate closely with Nortal colleagues, including development, project management, and data/architecture experts.\nWhat will help you to succeed\nStrong customer communication skills for presales: understanding customers’ needs, shaping business and operations into solution proposals and presenting them clearly.\nSolid technical understanding and ability to discuss architectural-level topics such as software and data architectures, integrations, and AI.\nA hands-on software engineering background is essential. You have built things yourself, so you can take responsibility and deliver the work, even if you now prefer working closer to the business. Experience with the Microsoft stack, especially Azure and .NET/C#, is our strong preference.\nExperience in agentic AI ways of working. We actively use advanced agentic AI methods and tools such as Spec-Driven Development and different AI tools.\nOwnership mindset and the ability to drive initiatives forward, sometimes with fast timelines and limited information.\nConsultant-like approach: proactive, solution-oriented, comfortable in the client interface and willing to ask the right questions.\nExcellent communication skills in Finnish and English.\nIf you’re not yet familiar with Nortal, we are a global leader in strategic change and technology. Our 2,500+ employees worldwide share the vision of creating a better future through seamless digital transformation, and we're constantly on the lookout for new talents to join us on this journey. We maintain offices in Helsinki, Oulu, Turku, Jyväskylä, and Uusikaupunki. We highly value flexibility, giving you the option to work from home, your local office, or find a balance that suits your needs.\nWhy join us?\nWork at the forefront of industrial AI. We bring 40 years of industry experience, combined with leading-edge experience on utilizing advanced AI-driven approaches such as Spec-Driven Development or Agentic Swarm Coding.\nYou’ll play a central role in driving digital transformation for our customers. You’ll gain broad visibility into complex ecosystems-and real ownership of key areas. You’ll work closely with a friendly and experienced team.\nWe value individuals not just for their skills, but also for their cultural alignment. Our core values include a commitment to delivering value and results, taking ownership, empowering oneself and others, and owning your future and growth. In addition to our professionalism, we appreciate a touch of good humor!\nWe prioritize your growth and development.
