• Drive security-by-design principles into all AI components, including encryption, access control, auditing, and safe model operation.
• Partner with engineering, security, compliance, and product teams to ensure architectural integrity throughout execution.
• Lead technical reviews and guide the resolution of architectural and integration issues.

Customer engagement and stakeholder management

• Translate complex customer requirements into actionable architectures and solution roadmaps
• Communicate architectural decisions and recommendations to executives, delivery teams, security, product engineers, and customers.
