Company Overview
Our client is a diversified, privately held investment management and services firm based in Dallas, TX with a portfolio spanning real estate, aviation, technology, banking, and more, and a track record of excellence spanning more than six decades. Guided by core values of integrity, empowerment, and a relentless commitment to service, the company has earned its place among the top private companies in the United States. As the firm ventures into bold new areas of growth, they are seeking an AI Architect to help lead the next chapter of their innovation story.
Position Overview
This is a rare, high-impact opportunity for an experienced AI practitioner ready to make their mark at the enterprise level. As the AI Architect, you will sit at the intersection of technology and business strategy, working directly with executive leadership to design and deploy AI solutions that drive measurable results across a multifaceted organization. Three things make this role uniquely compelling: first, you will have direct and ongoing access to C-suite decision-makers, giving your work immediate visibility and organizational weight; second, you will shape the firm’s entire AI strategy from the ground up, establishing the standards, governance, and platforms that will define how the company competes for years to come; and third, this is a greenfield role with the scope and autonomy to build something lasting, not just maintain what already exists. For a practitioner who thrives on translating AI capability into real business outcomes, this is the opportunity to do exactly that at scale. The role is based in Dallas, TX.
Position Responsibilities
• Partner with executive leadership to identify and prioritize high-impact AI use cases across operations, finance, and commercial functions.
• Design, build, and deploy AI-driven tools, workflows, and automation solutions that improve efficiency, decision-making, and scalability.
• Establish company-wide AI standards, governance frameworks, and best practices that ensure responsible, consistent adoption.
• Evaluate, select, and implement AI platforms, large language models, automation tools, and internal productivity solutions.
• Integrate AI capabilities with existing systems and data infrastructure to create seamless, production-grade solutions.
• Educate and enable internal teams across departments to adopt AI tools effectively and confidently.
• Monitor the AI landscape and translate emerging technologies into practical, actionable recommendations for the business.
Position Qualifications
Required
• A demonstrated track record of deploying AI solutions in a real business environment that delivered measurable results.
• A minimum of 5 years of progressive experience in software engineering, data science, or AI/ML development, or a combination of education and experience providing equivalent knowledge.
• Hands-on expertise with large language models, AI frameworks, and automation tools in production settings.
• Proven ability to integrate AI into real-world workflows and legacy systems beyond prototyping and experimentation.
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to engage credibly with both technical teams and senior executives.
Preferred
• Experience driving AI initiatives across multiple business units or functional areas.
• Background in data engineering, systems integration, or enterprise technology environments.
• Familiarity with change management and driving adoption of new technologies in complex organizations.
