Senior Manager - Microsoft AI Technical Architect - TC - FS

The opportunity

This is a senior technical architecture role for a hands-on leader who designs and delivers secure, scalable Microsoft AI and agentic solutions for financial services clients. The role owns solution architecture from discovery and option assessment through detailed design, build, integration, testing, deployment and operational handover.

The Senior Manager will work with CIO, CTO, CDO, CAIO, enterprise architecture, engineering, data, security, risk and business teams. They will translate business and control requirements into practical architectures, make clear platform and integration decisions, and lead multidisciplinary teams to turn those designs into production capability.

The role requires depth across Microsoft AI services, AI integration, identity management, and low-code platforms. It also requires the judgement to select the right boundary between Copilot Studio, Cowork, Autopilots, Power Platform, Azure AI Foundry and custom Azure / AI services.

Strong relationships with Microsoft teams are important. The Senior Manager will support technical validation, reference architecture alignment, co-sell and co-build activity with Microsoft, solution showcases and follow-on pipeline growth.
