Job Summary
The Senior Solutions Architect – Microsoft AI is a revenue-carrying presales leader responsible for driving new business within SHI’s Data & AI professional services practice. This role is the practice’s primary technical authority on Microsoft’s AI and automation capabilities: Copilot for Microsoft 365, Copilot Studio, Azure AI Foundry, and Power Platform.This individual will own a personal bookings target and operate across the full presales lifecycle—from discovery and technical qualification through solution design, proposal development, proof-of-concept delivery, and executive presentation. A critical aspect of this role is close collaboration with SHI’s specialist Solution Architects in data platform (Fabric & Power BI), data governance (Purview), and security to assemble holistic, integrated solutions for clients. While the specialist SAs bring deep expertise in their respective domains, this role ensures that the AI and agent layer is architected to take full advantage of those foundations—and that client-facing solutions tell a unified story rather than a collection of disconnected workstreams.
A key growth area for this role is AI agent development and multi-agent orchestration. As enterprises move beyond simple chatbots toward autonomous agents that reason, plan, and take action, this SA will be responsible for developing SHI’s capabilities, methodologies, and market positioning in this rapidly emerging space. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience building production agents and a clear vision for how multi-agent architectures will reshape enterprise operations.
