AI Architect

We are seeking an experienced AI Architect to translate artificial intelligence and advanced analytics into measurable business value across a large, multi-entity automotive retail organisation. The role bridges enterprise architecture, data engineering, and operating transformation, ensuring AI is embedded into real business processes rather than remaining conceptual.

The Role

The role spans Sales, Aftersales, Parts, Finance, HR, Procurement, Internal Audit, Governance, Risk and Compliance, and shared services. The focus is on identifying and delivering AI-enabled solutions that improve efficiency, decision-making, compliance, and customer experience.

Key Responsibilities

• The AI Architect will identify and prioritise practical AI use cases, design dashboards and exception reporting models, and integrate data across SAP, Keyloop DMS, CRM, and HR systems.
• Developing AI-enabled workflows and agents for document processing, approvals, compliance checks, customer service, parts intelligence, and operational monitoring.
• A strong governance lens is essential, ensuring AI solutions incorporate controls for data privacy, cybersecurity, auditability, and PDPL compliance. The environment is data-complex, with fragmented systems and variable data quality, requiring disciplined integration, reconciliation, and pragmatic solution design.

Candidate Profile

• We are looking for individuals combining deep technical capability with strong commercial and operational understanding.
• Experience in automotive, retail, distribution, or similarly complex environments is highly desirable, particularly with SAP or automotive DMS platforms.
• You should have a proven record of delivering production AI, automation, or analytics solutions adopted by business users.
• Experience in enterprise automation, AI governance, or controlled AI deployment environments will be highly valued.
• Familiarity with automotive retail processes such as new and used vehicles, aftersales, warranty, parts, inventory, and OEM reporting is advantageous, alongside the ability to rapidly acquire domain expertise.
• You are equally effective in technical architecture discussions and executive stakeholder engagement, delivering scalable AI solutions embedded into day-to-day operations.

What’s on Offer

In addition to the opportunity to work with one of the region’s most respected organisations, a highly competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package is available.
