Help shape the future of AI at Premium Credit

At Premium Credit, we’re investing in AI to create better experiences, improve how we work and unlock meaningful value across our business. We’re now looking for an AI Solution Architect to provide the technical leadership that will turn ambitious ideas into secure, scalable and production-ready solutions.

This is a high-impact opportunity for someone who can operate confidently between architecture and engineering. You’ll define the technical approach for our AI solutions, establish reusable standards and patterns, and work hands-on with teams to solve complex problems.

Working closely with our Head of AI Delivery and colleagues across Technology, Data, Architecture, Security and the wider business, you’ll translate AI opportunities into robust technical solutions that deliver measurable outcomes.

You’ll help us move AI initiatives from concept to production at pace—balancing rapid experimentation with the engineering discipline required in a regulated organisation.

Solution architecture and delivery

• Shape AI solutions from concept to production, translating business opportunities into practical designs and selecting the right mix of generative AI, machine learning, automation and emerging technologies.
• Design secure, scalable and maintainable solutions that integrate with our systems, data platforms and wider technology architecture.

AI engineering expertise

• Provide hands-on guidance across LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation, AI agents and orchestration patterns, including proofs of concept, prototyping and complex problem-solving.
• Establish reusable architecture patterns, engineering standards and development practices that help teams deliver consistently and at pace.

Governance and collaboration

• Build responsible AI, data privacy, security, explainability, monitoring and human oversight into every solution.
• Guide internal teams and third-party partners, helping to build lasting AI capability across PCL.

You’ll combine strong technical depth with a pragmatic approach to delivery. You’ll be curious about emerging AI technologies, but disciplined in applying them only where they can solve a genuine business problem or create measurable value.

Architecture and AI delivery

• Experience designing and delivering enterprise technology solutions, including practical AI, machine learning or generative AI use cases.
• Strong knowledge of modern AI architectures, including LLM-based solutions, RAG, prompt engineering, agentic workflows and model evaluation.

Cloud and engineering

• A strong understanding of APIs, systems integration and cloud architecture, ideally within the Microsoft Azure ecosystem.
• Knowledge of source control, CI/CD, testing and deployment, combined with strong technical problem-solving and architectural decision-making.

Communication and influence

• The ability to make complex technical concepts clear to technical and non-technical audiences.
• A collaborative style, with the confidence to influence senior stakeholders and challenge decisions constructively.

Experience within financial services or another regulated industry would be advantageous, as would knowledge of MLOps or LLMOps, AI monitoring, responsible AI and model risk management.
