Sr Advisory AI Foundry Architect

Sydney / Melbourne

About the team

AI Foundry proves enterprise AI use cases on ServiceNow before customers commit. We work forward deployed: our architects embed with the customer's own teams and put a working solution in front of the business in 3-4 weeks, tied to a business value hypothesis agreed up front. The work spans the full AI surface of the platform: Now Assist, AI agents, AI governance and control, predictive and retrieval-based AI.

Summary

As a Sr Advisory AI Foundry Architect, you are responsible for discovering, designing, and delivering high-impact AI POCs on ServiceNow for enterprise customers. You are equally comfortable in architecture reviews with C-level sponsors and hands-on technical builds, operating autonomously where the problem is ambiguous and the timeline is short. You combine the ability to scope, design, build, and demonstrate working AI solutions with deep ServiceNow platform expertise. You own POC execution end to end, shipping working prototypes against a fixed time-box, tied to measurable business outcomes.

Partner with Sales and delivery partners on opportunity qualification, technical validation, and post-POC implementation handoff

Configure Now Assist and AI agents, integrate with enterprise data sources, and define evaluation criteria for POC outcomes, using AI-assisted engineering tooling to compress build cycles

Build and maintain reusable assets (prompt libraries, agent templates, reference POCs, integration patterns) that multiply team output

Qualifications

Minimum

8+ years of presales technical delivery on enterprise SaaS platforms, with demonstrable track record of shipping outcome based solutions under compressed timelines

Preferred

Experience in a forward deployed or embedded customer model
