AI Architect

About us

Bluecrux is moving fast on AI, and this role sits at the technical centre of it. As AI Architect, you are the technical authority for AI across three areas: our own organisation, our software products and the solutions we deliver to clients. 

You report to the Head of AI Transformation, who owns the business side: ambition, prioritisation, change management and governance. You own the technical side: the architecture, the technical choices and the quality of what we build. Together you turn the AI roadmap into results. 

This is not a steady-state role. The ambition is high, the pace is fast and no two weeks look the same: a roadmap target for our finance team on Monday, an architecture review with a product team on Tuesday, a design session with a global client on Wednesday. We are looking for a strong profile who thrives on that variety and on the responsibility that comes with it. 

You do not start from a blank page. Our AI vision, a first roadmap and a reference architecture are in place. Your job is to take them much further, much faster. 

About the role

Your role has three pillars. At the start, the largest share of your time goes to the internal roadmap; the balance will shift as priorities move. 

01  Deliver our internal AI roadmap

• Own the technical delivery of our internal AI roadmap, with ambitious targets on short, medium and long-term horizons. 

• Make our consultants measurably stronger with AI in their work for leading international clients: knowledge, analysis, deliverables and delivery tooling. 

• Bring AI into our internal operations, such as HR and finance, with solutions people use every day. 

• Make the platform choices: model selection and routing, agent and orchestration frameworks, MCP and connectors, and build vs buy. 

• Set the technical standards: evaluation, security, data and IP handling, and cost control. You provide the technical input for our AI governance. 

02  Deliver AI solutions to our clients 

• Architect AI solutions that integrate into digital ecosystems for supply chain with our consultants and client teams, from first sketch to production. 

• Set up, manage and steer Data & AI technical delivery teams during the different stages of client delivery. 

• Own the solution architecture: data flows, integration with client systems, deployment, security and maintainability. 

• Support presales: scope, estimate and explain the technical approach to client IT and architecture boards. 

• Build reusable accelerators and assets, so every client project starts further ahead than the last. 

03  Shape AI in our software products

• Support the product and engineering teams of Binocs and Axon, our own supply chain software, in designing and embedding AI capabilities. 

• Advise on AI architecture in the products: where AI adds value for users, how to build it securely and how to run it at scale. 

• Align product AI with our internal platform, so components and know-how are reused instead of built twice. 

Across all three

• Act as technical lead for our AI Engineers and AI Champions: design reviews, code reviews, coaching, patterns and playbooks. 

• Build the technically most complex parts yourself when that is the fastest way forward. 

• Explain complex trade-offs clearly to consultants, product teams, clients and management.
