Senior Architect | Manchester (Hybrid) Join a business right at the beginning of their AI journey!! "We are building a new AI capability from the ground up as part of a wider transformation of the business and this is an opportunity to join right at the beginning of our journey: shaping the strategy, foundations, delivery approach and culture rather than inheriting somebody else's playbook." The role You will define how AI fits into the organisation's wider technology landscape and turn high-value business opportunities into production-ready solutions. Joining at the very beginning of the journey, you will set the architectural direction, create the standards others build against and remain close enough to delivery to prove what works. This is not a purely advisory architecture role. You will work across technology, data, security, product and operations to design and shape AI-enabled products, services and workflows. You will make pragmatic decisions across models, agents, applications, integrations, data and cloud infrastructure, balancing pace with security, reliability, cost and long-term maintainability. What you will do Define the target architecture and technical roadmap for the organisation's AI capability. Translate business problems into clear solution designs, architectural options and delivery increments. Design end-to-end AI solutions spanning data, models, retrieval, agents, applications, APIs, integrations and cloud services. Establish reference architectures, reusable patterns and guardrails for generative AI, RAG, intelligent automation and agentic workflows. Lead technical discovery and rapid proofs of value, then shape the route from prototype to production. Set expectations for security, privacy, observability, resilience, evaluation, human oversight and responsible AI. Assess model, platform and vendor options, including build-versus-buy decisions, commercial implications and lock-in risk. Partner with engineering and delivery teams through implementation, resolving design decisions without creating unnecessary governance. Communicate complex architecture clearly to executives, delivery teams and non-technical stakeholders. Help build the team, engineering culture and technical capability needed to scale AI across the business. What we are looking for A strong track record designing and delivering complex cloud-based solutions into live production environments. Practical experience with modern AI solution patterns such as LLM applications, RAG, agents, orchestration, prompt and model evaluation, and AI-enabled automation. Strong understanding of integration architecture, APIs, event-driven systems, identity, data platforms and enterprise security. The judgement to choose the simplest viable architecture while keeping a clear path to scale. Experience taking experimental or emerging technology through assurance, operational readiness and production adoption. Confidence influencing senior leaders while remaining credible and collaborative with hands-on engineers. A product mindset: focused on users, measurable value and continuous learning rather than technology for its own sake. Why join and next steps: You will have genuine influence, visibility and the space to build well from day one. The team will tackle meaningful business problems, combining rapid experimentation with the standards required to make AI secure, trusted and valuable at scale. If you enjoy creating clarity where there is ambiguity and want your work to shape an organisation's future, this is a rare opportunity to do exactly that.

"We are building a new AI capability from the ground up as part of a wider transformation of the business and this is an opportunity to join right at the beginning of our journey: shaping the strategy, foundations, delivery approach and culture rather than inheriting somebody else's playbook." The role: Joining as the QA | Test Manager, you will will establish the quality strategy, automation framework and release confidence for a new portfolio of AI-enabled products. You will combine strong software testing discipline with new approaches for evaluating model behaviour, generated outputs, data quality, safety and live performance. Traditional pass-or-fail testing is not enough for AI systems. You will define how the organisation tests both deterministic software and probabilistic AI behaviour, creating repeatable evaluation, automation and assurance from the outset. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will set the strategy, build the foundations and help delivery teams embed quality throughout the lifecycle. Day-to-day, your role involve the following: Define the end-to-end quality engineering and test strategy for AI-enabled products, services and automations. Build scalable automation across APIs, integrations, user journeys, data pipelines, regression, performance and security testing. Create evaluation frameworks for AI outputs, covering accuracy, relevance, groundedness, consistency, safety, bias and task completion. Establish representative test datasets, golden test sets, scoring approaches, thresholds and release criteria. Design testing for failure modes such as hallucination, prompt injection, data leakage, harmful output, degraded models and unreliable external services. Embed automated quality gates within CI/CD and define appropriate human review for higher-risk use cases. Partner with product and design to turn user expectations into measurable acceptance and quality criteria. Work with architecture, engineering, data and security to improve testability, observability and root-cause diagnosis. Define production monitoring, feedback loops and incident learning to detect quality drift after release.

Strong knowledge of CI/CD, non-functional testing, observability, test data and risk-based assurance. An understanding of how testing probabilistic AI behaviour differs from conventional deterministic systems. The ability to define measurable quality thresholds where there may not be one universally correct answer. Hands-on technical credibility alongside the leadership skills to establish standards and influence delivery teams. A practical, proportionate approach that improves delivery speed and confidence rather than turning quality into a final-stage gate. Why join and next steps: You will have genuine influence, visibility and the space to build well from day one. The team will tackle meaningful business problems, combining rapid experimentation with the standards required to make AI secure, trusted and valuable at scale. If you enjoy creating clarity where there is ambiguity and want your work to shape an organisation's future, this is a rare opportunity to do exactly that.
