Join our global team to grow your expertise and develop innovative solutions that enable a prosperous and more sustainable society.\nAbout the role\nDefine and govern the adoption of AI across Workplace and platform-based solutions, with a strong focus on out-of-the-box capabilities, integrations, and security. Act as the orchestration point across Software Development, Data & Analytics, business users, and platform owners, ensuring consistent routing of AI initiatives. Drive the transition from ad-hoc usage to controlled, scalable adoption through clear governance, measurement, and chargeback, positioning AI as an extension of existing platforms rather than a parallel capability. The role focuses on Workplace AI platforms and embedded capabilities such as Microsoft 365 Copilot, AI assistants, and collaboration tools.\nMain accountabilities and tasks\nAI Roadmap & Out-of-the-Box Ownership: Own the AI roadmap for Workplace and platform-based AI capabilities and the adoption of out-of-the-box solutions; contribute to the cross-functional definition of AI architecture; establish AI as a coherent enterprise capability.\nPlatform-First, Preview & Early-Access Ownership: Prioritise out-of-the-box capabilities over new builds; own the evaluation, piloting, and rollout of preview features and vendor early-access programmes; track and govern AI features increasingly embedded in existing enterprise services.\nGovernance of Services, Integrations & Agents: Establish a single enterprise entry point and a risk-based approval process, supported by self-service guardrails and clear approval timelines so the front door enables rather than blocks; govern AI services, integrations, APIs, and the lifecycle of AI agents; ensure every AI asset is inventoried, owned, and operated within agreed controls.\nRouting of AI Initiatives Across Delivery Tracks: Define and govern how AI initiatives are routed across delivery tracks - out-of-the-box, preview, and early-access (this role); citizen development (business users, against standards set by this role); custom development and advanced integrations (Software Development); and analytics-driven solutions (Data & Analytics).\nSecurity, Risk & Compliance (with Infosec): Together with Infosec, define and enforce AI-specific controls under a clear split of accountability for who defines, approves, and enforces; ensure compliance with GDPR and the EU AI Act; govern third-party AI usage and minimise shadow-AI risk.\nAI Lifecycle Management: Govern the full lifecycle covering build, publish, operate, and retire; ensure ownership, inventory, and transparency for every AI solution; enforce environment-based controls across experiment, managed, and production.\nBusiness Value, Chargeback & Adoption: Define how AI business value is measured; build and operate a chargeback model so consumption is transparent and costs sit with the consuming business; drive adoption and track it against value realisation.\nUser Support, Enablement & Training: Act as the primary point of contact for AI adoption; provide patterns, guardrails, and reusable templates so users can build safely; deliver training, documentation, and onboarding paths that build AI literacy across the organisation.\nDesired experience and qualifications\nWork experience: 8-10+ years in enterprise IT, architecture, or transformation roles, with experience in governance, platform strategy, or large-scale adoption.\nExpertise: Senior expert / enterprise architect level. Strong understanding of enterprise AI platforms (e.g. Microsoft 365 Copilot) and assistant and agent-based tooling, and of GenAI / agent-based architectures; deep knowledge of platform vs. custom-development trade-offs and licensing models; experience defining operating models and governance standards.\nGovernance & regulation: Proven experience defining and rolling out enterprise AI governance frameworks or platform-adoption strategies; familiarity with AI security controls and applicable regulation (EU AI Act, GDPR, responsible-AI guidance).\nCloud & FinOps: Deep familiarity with cloud platforms (Microsoft ecosystem preferred); familiarity with chargeback or FinOps models, ideally applied to AI or cloud services; working knowledge of enterprise AI licensing and the ability to translate licensing constraints into platform and routing decisions.\nEducation & certifications: University degree in IT, Computer Science, or a related field; Microsoft, AI, or cloud certifications preferred, with security and compliance certifications a plus.\nSoft skills: Strategic and structured thinking; clear, pragmatic communication, including the ability to translate technical standards for business users and citizen developers; sound decision-making in complex, ambiguous environments; comfort balancing innovation with control.\nLanguages: Fluent English required; additional languages a plus.\nWhat we offer you\nMedical insurance for self and family\nCompany sponsored transportation facility\nSulzer is an equal opportunity employer. We believe in the strength of a diverse workforce and are committed to offering an inclusive work environment.\nWe are proud to be recognized as a Top Employer 2026 in Brazil, Canada, China, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, Switzerland, South Africa, the UK and the USA.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5366,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Health insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Industrial Machinery","Maintenance, Repair & Operations (MRO)"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-07-08T00:00:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":13,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.463,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":118,"expected_fill_days":34,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sulzer-workplace-ai-architect","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sulzer-workplace-ai-architect.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T14:08:18Z","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":19794,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"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":8183},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=8183"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsulzer-workplace-ai-architect"},{"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%2Fsulzer-workplace-ai-architect"},{"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%2Fsulzer-workplace-ai-architect"},{"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/sulzer-workplace-ai-architect\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsulzer-workplace-ai-architect"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":109390}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"sulzer.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":109390},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
