AI Solutions Architect | London (Hybrid) | Global Banking Group
Salary: Up to £140,000 + Bonus
A leading global banking and financial services group is expanding its AI & Innovation team within Architecture & Engineering, at a pivotal stage of its enterprise AI journey. We're looking for a hands-on AI Solutions Architect to take end-to-end ownership of AI solution design — from use case intake through to governance approval and production delivery.
The Role
- Own AI solutions from initial use case intake through to production deployment
- Translate business requirements into end-to-end solution architectures aligned to enterprise technology stack
- Design and implement AI solutions across Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, Power Platform, Azure AI services, and GCP
- Lead solution design through Solution Design Authority (SDA) and internal architecture governance forums
- Own architecture artefacts — design documents, technical specs, integration patterns, governance submissions
- Drive AI governance processes — risk assessments, control alignment, production readiness
- Act as technical point of accountability for solution design decisions across the delivery lifecycle
- Design with full consideration of integration, data flows, identity, security boundaries, and operational resilience
- Support prototyping, validation, and troubleshooting hands-on alongside engineering teams
- Develop reusable architecture patterns and technical guidance for common AI use cases
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
