Automation & AI Solution Architect

We’re looking for an experienced and forward-thinking Automation & AI Architect to shape the enterprise automation strategy and technical direction across our global organization.

• Strong ability to translate business needs into structured automation roadmaps and technical strategies 

• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to engage stakeholders at all levels 

• Strong understanding of enterprise data models, APIs, connectors, and identity frameworks
