Shape the future of AI across our enterprise
As our Artificial Intelligence Enterprise Architect, you'll play a pivotal role in defining and delivering Cadent's AI vision and strategy. You will be designing solutions but also shaping how AI is adopted responsibly, securely and at scale across the organization, ensuring it delivers meaningful business value both now and in the future.
Working at an enterprise level, you'll create and communicate a clear, future proof AI strategy aligned to Cadent's wider ambitions. You'll define architectural principles, patterns and standards that enable scalable, reusable and sustainable solutions, while guiding delivery teams through target and transition architectures that support a prioritised roadmap.
If you have experience setting up an AI target operating model, particularly establishing AI teams to prototype ideas and, where these demonstrate clear business value, transitioning them into production environments, this will be highly valuable. Equally important is the ability to manage associated risks and ensure appropriate governance throughout the lifecycle. With this expertise, you will play a key role in leading the build‑out of Cadent's AI capability at this exciting stage of growth.
This is a highly visible and influential role, partnering closely with senior leaders, enterprise architects, data teams, delivery teams and external suppliers. You'll help shape Cadent's architecture practice, drive best practice, and ensure investment decisions support long‑term strategic outcomes.

* Enterprise Impact - Define and own the AI vision and strategy for Cadent.
* End to End Ownership - Lead AI architecture from current state through to target state.
* Technical Authority - Act as a recognised expert governing AI adoption.
