Senior Agentic AI Architect/Consultant

Automotive and manufacturing clients face the challenge of integrating agentic AI architecture across complex enterprise platforms. The program depends on daily tactical decisions that drive strategic goals, requiring close coordination with digital excellence leads and product teams. In this hybrid Senior Agentic AI Architect/Consultant role based in Gothenburg, you will operate independently to shape L1 architecture and consolidate inputs from multiple vendors and consultancies. You will steer workshops that close decisions quickly and embed safe agent principles into delivery. The work matters because clients need a coherent, actionable architecture that supports their AI ambitions without delay. Responsibilities - Finalise the L1 agentic architecture and define each layer concretely in terms of L1 capabilities

• Consolidate prior scale-and-deploy work (Agent Studio) with the existing layer model, resolving overlaps into a single coherent view
• Make the architecture layers actionable, including how each capability is realised in Azure AI Foundry and the MCP gateway
• Collaborate closely with foundational product teams
• Rapidly develop positions on SAP, Salesforce and ServiceNow as agentic runtimes, and how each fits the North Star architecture
• Lead structured conversations with vendors to establish what they provide and where they sit in the target architecture
• Drive the work needed to embed the three agreed Safe Agent principles into the architecture and delivery approach
• Design and run decision-focused workshops that bring the right people together and close decisions in a single session
• Guide the existing team, produce supporting materials, and get deliverables to the finish line
• Align stakeholders and bring decisions to closure

Requirements - Senior enterprise or solution architecture background, with recent hands-on agentic AI architecture experience

• Working knowledge of Microsoft Azure AI Foundry, MCP and agent orchestration patterns
• Familiarity with agentic capabilities across SAP, Salesforce or ServiceNow
• Track record of synthesising work from multiple consultancies and vendors into one target architecture
