AI Strategy and Solution Architect-Remote

About Liberum Liberum is first and foremost a team. A team that does what it takes to deliver extraordinary results while living our values. We are passionate about client success because we know that we're making a positive change for that person, others, and the whole organization. We believe that relationships build extraordinary results. How we interact, share, guide, and mentor makes it possible to lead people through meaningful change and leave our clients with lasting capability long after an engagement ends. Liberum's tailored approach to technology consulting, organizational change management, and AI solution delivery has earned the trust of Fortune 500 companies and government agencies alike. We know that adoption and total engagement equal success, and that success can only be achieved by tailoring the approach to the specific initiative and the specific organization. The Role Liberum continues to build out its artificial intelligence (AI) practice to meet clients where they are across a full spectrum of need. We are seeking a Strategic AI Architect to serve as a trusted advisor and hands-on practitioner, helping government and enterprise clients define, communicate, and execute AI roadmaps that are practical, scalable, and built to last. This is not a role for someone who only theorizes. • You will build, demonstrate, and coach • You will walk into rooms full of skeptics and walk out with believers • You bring the technical credibility to design real AI systems • You bring the communication skills to earn trust with executives, agency staff, and everyone in between A core part of this engagement involves helping clients understand and navigate where they are across the AI spectrum, where they should prioritize next, and how to build the internal capability to sustain what is built. We are looking for someone who is as comfortable in a whiteboard session as they are in a terminal window. Equally important, we are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys the human side of technology adoption and gets energy from helping skeptical people become confident ones. This person will be Liberum's public-facing AI authority in Washington State—speaking at agency and industry events, publishing pieces that shape how state and local government think about AI adoption, and serving as the named architect on our most visible engagements. If you've been waiting for the chance to put your signature on the AI story of a region, this is that seat. Note: The clients you work with are at an inflection point. They are trying to figure out how to adopt AI without breaking what works or compromising public trust. Your roadmap and guidance will literally shape their AI future. You will help leaders move from fear and paralysis to clarity and momentum. You will be the person who unlocks capabilities that seemed impossible six months before. That matters. If you want the opportunity to put your signature on an organization's future, we would like to talk. What We Require With Your Application Strong candidates make their thinking visible. We screen for evidence of work, not just claims of experience. Applications without a portfolio submission will not progress past initial review. Include the following: • Resume + cover letter (standard) • Two pieces of public-facing AI work, in any combination of the following formats: • A published article, white paper, or blog post you authored • A recorded conference talk, podcast appearance, or workshop facilitation • A public GitHub repository or shared agentic project • A sample AI roadmap, governance framework, or architecture decision document (redacted where appropriate) • One short paragraph (200 words or less) describing your approach to introducing AI in an environment where some stakeholders fear it, some embrace it, and some believe they are more capable than the AI itself We read every submission. If you are between portfolio pieces or your strongest work is under NDA, tell us that directly and propose what you can share—we will work with you. Position Responsibilities AI Roadmap and Strategy • Develop and maintain practical AI roadmaps for clients based on readiness, risk tolerance, and business value • Assess the current state of client AI capability and translate findings into clear, phased plans that stakeholders understand and can rally around • Define governance structures, decision frameworks, and success metrics appropriate to each tier of solution delivery Industry Awareness and Trend Translation • Stay actively current on the rapidly evolving AI landscape and translate industry developments into practical, actionable guidance for client environments • Advise clients on model selection, platform tradeoffs, and emerging capabilities across the LLM and GenAI ecosystem • Distinguish signal from noise in AI trends, helping clients invest in approaches with staying power rather than chasing the next headline Coding and Rapid Prototyping • Use AI-
