AI Architect

Are you passionate about shaping the future of Artificial Intelligence at enterprise scale? We're looking for an experienced AI Architect to lead the design, engineering and evolution of our AI capabilities. This is a unique opportunity to define AI strategy, influence technology direction, and drive the adoption of cutting-edge technologies including Generative AI, Agentic AI and machine learning across a large, complex organisation.

As a senior technology leader, you'll combine deep technical expertise with strong people leadership to design scalable, secure and responsible AI solutions that deliver measurable business value. Working closely with senior business leaders, product owners, engineers, data scientists and risk specialists, you'll play a pivotal role in accelerating AI-driven transformation across the enterprise.

We are happy to consider flexible working approaches to help you perform at your best.

At Nationwide we offer hybrid working wherever possible. More rewarding relationships are supported through our hybrid approach, bringing colleagues together across our UK wide estate, whilst also supporting generous access to home working. We value our time in the office to solve problems, to learn, and to feel connected.

For this job you'll spend at least two days per week, or if part time you'll spend 40% of your working time, based at either our Swindon or London office. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works. You can also find out more about our approach to hybrid working here.

Nationwide is committed to the redeployment of our employees impacted by change, as such applications for redeployment candidates will be prioritised in this recruitment process.
