Role Overview
We are looking for a Business Systems & AI Architect to reimagine and evolve Nexthink’s internal technology landscape.
This role goes beyond traditional architecture: you will challenge how our systems work today, identify opportunities to simplify, modernize, and augment them with AI, and help transition from a fragmented SaaS stack to a cohesive, intelligent, and scalable architecture.
A critical part of this role is shaping our data foundation, ensuring that our data platform and warehouse enable both business insights and AI-driven use cases.
Sitting at the intersection of business, IT, and AI, you will work across the organization to deeply understand how teams operate today and design how they should operate tomorrow.
Key Responsibilities
Architecture Transformation & SaaS Strategy
- Assess the current tech stack and identify opportunities to simplify, consolidate, or replace systems
- Lead the evolution toward a modern, AI-enabled architecture, reducing tool sprawl and operational complexity
- Define target architecture principles and drive migration from legacy patterns to scalable platforms
- Evaluate SaaS solutions not only for fit, but for their ability to integrate into a broader, data-driven ecosystem
Data Platform & Warehouse Strategy
- Define and drive the implementation of a scalable data platform / data warehouse (e.g., Microsoft Fabric or equivalent)
- Ensure data from SaaS and internal systems is centralized, structured, and accessible
- Establish data models, governance, and ownership to support both analytics and operational use cases
- Enable a single source of truth for reporting, decision-making, and AI applications
- Partner with teams to ensure data is reliable, well-understood, and usable across the organization
AI-Driven Innovation
- Identify and implement AI use cases that fundamentally improve how teams work, not just incremental enhancements
- Design architectures that embed AI into workflows (Copilot, agents, automation), making it part of the operating model
- Leverage the data platform to power AI models, copilots, and decision systems
- Define patterns for AI orchestration, data access, and agent interoperability
- Partner with teams to rethink processes through the lens of AI-first design
Integration & Platform Thinking
- Design end-to-end system architectures across SaaS, internal platforms, and data layers
- Define scalable integration patterns (APIs, event-driven, orchestration layers)
- Ensure interoperability and reduce silos across business systems
- Enable real-time and batch data flows into the data platform
Business Partnership & Discovery
- Engage with stakeholders across all functions to understand how work actually happens
- Translate business challenges into scalable, reusable system designs
- Challenge existing processes and assumptions to unlock better ways of operating
- Act as a trusted advisor to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Governance with Pragmatism
- Establish lightweight governance to ensure security, scalability, and maintainability
- Define standards across SaaS, data, and AI usage
- Balance speed of innovation with long-term sustainability
- Drive adoption of standards without slowing down teams
