Role Purpose

The Technical Lead provides strategic and hands-on technical leadership across AI, data, analytics, intelligent automation, and digital platform initiatives.

Act as a hands-on technical leader who mentors and develops developers, promotes best practices, and provides oversight to ensure solutions meet standards for scalability, security, maintainability, and operational readiness.

Partner closely with business stakeholders, architects, product teams, and engineers to define technology roadmaps, solution strategies, and future-state capabilities. Facilitate technical workshops and architectural reviews, align delivery outcomes with business objectives, and identify opportunities to improve processes, user experiences, and overall technology effectiveness. Ensure compliance with enterprise architecture, cybersecurity, data governance, and Responsible AI standards while fostering innovation and continuous improvement across the technology landscape.

Skills & Experience

Extensive experience leading complex technology, AI, data, or digital transformation initiatives, with strong hands-on software engineering and solution architecture capabilities. Proven experience designing and delivering cloud-based AI and data platforms using technologies such as AWS, Snowflake, Cortex AI, machine learning, intelligent automation, conversational AI, and agent-based solutions. Strong understanding of enterprise data architecture, semantic modelling, canonical data design, API and integration architecture, governance, security, and operational support frameworks.

The ideal candidate is both a technical practitioner and strategic leader, capable of mentoring high-performing teams while engaging effectively with senior stakeholders. They will demonstrate exceptional communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to influence outcomes, define future-state architecture, and deliver technology solutions that create measurable business value
