AI Solution Architect
About the role
Job Description
On behalf of our public sector client, Affinity is seeking an AI Solution Architect to work with business areas to identify opportunities where artificial intelligence, automation, and agent-based solutions can improve service delivery, reduce manual effort, or support better decision-making. The resource will be expected to engage directly with business users to understand needs, document requirements in plain language, assess whether AI is an appropriate solution, and design, build, test, and support practical solutions that meet Manitoba’s operational, privacy, security, and technology standards.
Responsibilities
Collaborate with business stakeholders to identify opportunities where AI, automation, and agent-based solutions can improve service delivery, reduce manual effort, and enhance decision-making. Engage directly with business users to gather requirements, understand operational needs, and document requirements in clear, non-technical language. Assess business challenges and determine whether AI is an appropriate solution. Design, develop, test, and support AI-enabled solutions that align with organizational operational, privacy, security, and technology standards. Translate business problems into practical AI-powered solutions using Microsoft Copilot Studio, Microsoft 365, Azure, and related technologies. Lead solutions through the full lifecycle, including discovery, solution design, prototyping, user feedback, testing, deployment, and ongoing support. Create and maintain solution documentation, technical artifacts, and user guidance materials. Provide knowledge transfer and training to internal staff to support solution adoption and sustainability. Collaborate with security, privacy, architecture, and technology teams to ensure solutions comply with organizational policies, standards, and best practices. Identify and mitigate risks related to security, privacy, compliance, and operational support. Support security reviews and adhere to approved development and deployment practices. Design solutions with appropriate access controls, data governance, auditability, and supportability requirements. Work effectively in an evolving technology environment with changing requirements and priorities. Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Contribute to the evaluation and adoption of emerging AI, automation, and agentic technologies and development tools.
Qualifications
Experience working directly with business users to gather, clarify, document, and validate business requirements for technology or AI-enabled solutions. Experience designing, building, testing, and implementing AI-enabled solutions using Microsoft Copilot Studio, agents, or comparable low-code/no-code AI development platforms. Experience facilitating workshops, discovery sessions, demonstrations, user testing, or adoption activities with business areas and technical teams. Experience integrating solutions with Microsoft 365, Power Platform, Azure services, enterprise data sources, APIs, or other business systems. Experience producing clear solution documentation, including requirements, design decisions, testing results, deployment notes, user guidance, and knowledge transfer materials. Demonstrated ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and move solutions from discovery through implementation in a complex enterprise environment. It is preferred that the Resource has the following qualifications or experience: Experience with Microsoft Foundry, Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, or related Microsoft AI services. Experience with Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or other agentic development tools used to support solution design, prototyping, development, testing, or documentation. Experience designing, implementing, or integrating Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers or similar patterns for securely connecting AI agents to tools, systems, and data sources. Experience with Power Platform components, including Power Automate, Power Apps, Dataverse, custom connectors, and environment governance. Relevant Microsoft certifications related to Azure, AI, Power Platform, security, or solution architecture would be considered an asset, but are not required.
