Work directly with technical teams to design and deliver production AI solutions. Guide developers, testers and business analysts on effective and responsible AI use. Support the development of AI enabled features within existing software products. Run workshops, technical discussions and stakeholder meetings. Explain AI capabilities, limitations and delivery options clearly to customers and internal teams. Help establish standards around AI governance, testing, security and quality. Support existing AI specialists by extending their work across the wider business. Experience required Commercial experience building and delivering AI solutions in production. A software development background, ideally using C# and .NET. Experience integrating AI into existing products, platforms or business processes. Strong understanding of software architecture, APIs, data flows and cloud hosted applications. Experience leading technical change across several delivery functions, not only software development. Evidence of helping teams adopt AI tools, processes or ways of working. Confidence running customer or stakeholder meetings and explaining technical subjects clearly. The ability to remain technically credible while providing leadership and direction. Experience with Azure AI, Azure OpenAI, agentic workflows, RAG, AI agents or Microsoft Copilot would be useful, but practical delivery experience is more important than familiarity with specific tools.
