Enterprise Architecture1 ABOUT THE ROLE

Jade Global is seeking a Principal – AI Solutions & Enterprise Architecture to serve as a senior-most technical and advisory leader within the AI & Digital Engineering (AI&DE) business unit. This is a high-impact, customer-facing role that bridges enterprise architecture strategy, AI solution design, and commercial growth — positioned at the intersection of practice leadership, pre-sales solutioning, and thought leadership.

The Principal will work directly with enterprise clients across North America to define and architect transformative AI and digital strategies, engaging at the C-suite level while driving solution differentiation and shaping Jade Global's AI&DE service offerings. The ideal candidate brings a rare combination of deep technical architecture credentials (TOGAF), hands-on AI/ML and cloud engineering experience, and the commercial acumen to translate vision into revenue-generating engagements. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Enterprise Architecture Leadership • Own and evolve Jade Global's AI & Digital Engineering architecture frameworks, reference architectures, and solution accelerators, aligning with TOGAF ADM and modern cloud-native paradigms.

• Architect end-to-end enterprise solutions spanning AI/ML platforms, cloud infrastructure, data ecosystems, and digital product engineering — ensuring scalability, security, and business alignment.

• Define AI transformation roadmaps for enterprise clients, including current-state assessments, capability gap analyses, and phased implementation blueprints.

• Establish governance frameworks for AI adoption, data architecture, and cloud migration across multi-platform environments (AWS, Azure, GCP).

• Lead architecture review boards for strategic client engagements and internal capability development initiatives.

AI Solutions Design & Innovation • Design scalable Agentic AI, Generative AI, and multi-agent architectures for enterprise use cases across industries including financial services, healthcare, and hi-tech.

• Architect solutions leveraging platforms such as AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex AI, LangChain, LangGraph, Crew.AI, and Model Context Protocol (MCP).

• Drive the development of proprietary AI accelerators, frameworks, and reusable assets that differentiate Jade Global's service offerings in competitive pursuits.

• Evaluate emerging AI/ML technologies and provide strategic recommendations on platform selection, build vs. buy decisions, and integration approaches.

• Champion responsible AI principles including explainability, fairness, compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2), and ethical AI governance.

Pre-Sales Solutioning & Business Development • Partner with sales leadership to qualify and architect solutions for strategic opportunities, crafting compelling proposals, SOWs, and technical presentations that win.

• Lead architecture-led discovery workshops with C-suite and VP-level client stakeholders to surface transformation opportunities and define scope.

• Develop and present solution narratives, ROI models, and proof-of-concept designs during competitive RFP and deal pursuit cycles.

• Serve as the technical authority in client-facing engagements — translating complex AI and architecture concepts into clear business value propositions.

• Build and nurture relationships with key ecosystem partners (AWS, Azure, Snowflake, Databricks, Salesforce, Oracle, ServiceNow) to co-create joint GTM solutions.

• Contribute to pipeline generation through thought leadership, executive briefings, conference presentations, and published content.

Practice Development & Thought Leadership • Define and evolve AI & Digital Engineering service offerings — including AI Strategy & Roadmap Advisory, Agentic AI Implementation, Shift-Left Testing with AI, and AI-powered Cloud Transformation.

• Create and maintain point-of-view documents, whitepapers, solution briefs, and industry perspectives that establish Jade Global's AI&DE brand in the market.

• Mentor and coach solution architects, senior engineers, and practice leads — building a community of practice around AI architecture and enterprise solution design.

• Collaborate with delivery leadership to ensure architecture-to-delivery continuity, shaping project governance structures and managing escalation pathways.

• Represent Jade Global at industry forums, analyst briefings, and client advisory boards.

Strategic Advisory & Client Engagement • Serve as a trusted strategic advisor to CIOs, CTOs, and CDOs at key client accounts — providing ongoing guidance on AI maturity, digital transformation, and technology investment strategies.

• Lead Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) and executive workshops for anchor accounts to identify expansion opportunities and ensure client satisfaction.
