Job description

Why Keyrus, Why Now!

Keyrus is an international group of 2,800 consultants and experts across 29 countries, built on a single conviction: AI does not transform businesses. Architected intelligence does. For more than 30 years, we have been building the data foundations that make intelligent systems work - designing the Operating System of the intelligent enterprise, where intelligence is embedded into the core of business processes to create sustainable value: we operationalise intelligence.

AI does not replace humans. It repositions us to a place no system can follow: understanding, deciding, designing, and creating. At Keyrus, you will not just develop skills—you will develop judgment. Your expertise sharpens with every system you architect, every client challenge you solve, and every deployment that compounds on the last.

Over time, you grow into one of the rarest professionals of the intelligence era: someone who bridges data, AI, and human decision-making at scale, across industries and geographies. This is not a role you fill. It is a discipline you master and a story you help write to become a Keyrus Architect of Intelligence.

Technology amplifies. Keyrus culture differentiates. Industrial discipline connects the two.

• Support automation and AI requests from internal analysts and business partners, including use-case assessment, tool selection, and business case evaluation, while coaching them to build their own capabilities
• Gather, analyze, and document business unit needs, facilitating workshops to capture, clarify, and prioritize requirements

• Produce required artifacts (e.g., URS, FS) and ensure the quality, completeness, and traceability of requirements through the solution lifecycle
• Support project intake, impact analysis, and prioritization, collaborating with architects and IT teams on technology alignment
• Participate in demand management, functional solution design, and validation activities (testing, UAT)
• Ensure requirements account for regulatory, compliance, quality, and information security needs
