AI Solution Architect-Research Office Managed Services

Huron helps its clients drive growth, enhance performance and sustain leadership in the markets they serve. We collaborate with education organizations to develop strategies and implement solutions that enable the transformative change our clients need to own their future. Together, we empower clients to drive innovation, create sustainable funding streams and deliver better student outcomes. Today, leaders of higher education institutions and academic medical centers are spending too much time reacting to market forces, rather than focusing on the essential priorities that help students, faculty and staff thrive.

The most productive path forward requires an intentional approach and innovative thinking, whereby stakeholders across the entire institution rally around a shared vision and embrace the hard work of effecting change.

You’ll help our clients to achieve organizational effectiveness, improve student outcomes, implement new technologies and align resources and investments to ensure long-term sustainability.

Join our team as the expert you are now and create your future.

We are looking for a technically strong and adaptable AI Solution Architect to join our growing AI practice. In this role, you will contribute to the design and implementation of AI-powered solutions across a range of client-facing projects, helping ensure that architectural decisions are sound, scalable, and tailored to the problem  will work closely with engineering teams and client stakeholders to design AI systems that leverage traditional machine learning, generative AI, and intelligent automation.

This role requires both a solid technical foundation and the ability to flex across different platforms, frameworks, and business needs.

If you enjoy applying architecture principles to complex AI problems, working across multiple technologies, and collaborating with delivery teams to bring ideas into reality, this is a strong fit.
