Job Description

HPE is seeking a technically proficient, business-savvy AI Solutions Architect with a deep understanding of marketing operations, workflows, and data flows. This individual will be responsible for analyzing existing marketing processes, identifying opportunities for AI integration, and designing end-to-end AI-enabled architectures that enhance productivity and reduce costs. The AI Solution Architect will collaborate closely with AI/ML engineering teams, data engineering, IT, and third-party vendors to develop secure, compliant, and scalable AI solutions aligned with organizational objectives.

LOCATION

This is an onsite position in either HPE’s Houston, TX. campus on a hybrid schedule of up to 3 days per week in office.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Business & Process Analysis

Conduct comprehensive assessments of current marketing workflows, including cross-team handoffs, operational dependencies, and data flows. Map end-to-end marketing and communications processes, identifying bottlenecks, redundancies, and automation opportunities. Understand the data landscape, including sources, quality, and integration points, to inform AI embedding strategies.

AI Architecture Alignment & Integration

Work closely with the engineering-side AI architecture team to understand the to-be AI architecture and how manual or semi-automated marketing processes are being transformed into intelligent, automated solutions — ensuring marketing's business requirements and enterprise-alignment needs are reflected in that design. Maintain a strong working knowledge of the AI solutions being built (LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation, recommendation engines, and other generative AI tools) so enterprise standards, governance, and platform requirements can be mapped onto them — without duplicating the build-side design and development work. Drive the onboarding and integration of AI agents, tools and applications onto the MarTech stack to enable business processes — spanning both in-house solutions and third-party/bought AI, where this role leads vendor evaluation, build-vs-buy, and enterprise-compliant integration. Review and pressure-test architecture artifacts (context diagrams, data flow diagrams, interface specifications, solution blueprints) produced by the data science and engineering teams — validating enterprise fit, integration, and governance rather than authoring them.

Workflow & Data Streamlining

Collaborate with Data Engineering teams to design data pipelines that facilitate efficient, low-overhead data flow into and out of AI applications, avoiding unnecessary complexity. Ensure data governance, security, and privacy are embedded into all AI solutions. Identify and specify API and integration requirements for AI agents, ensuring interoperability within the broader MarTech ecosystem and with third-party AI vendors.

Technology Stack & Platform Enablement

Work with IT, platform engineering, and AI teams to specify infrastructure needs, including model hosting, vector stores, storage, orchestration, and monitoring tools. Define and specify performance requirements such as latency, throughput, availability, and resilience for AI services. Influence platform roadmaps and identify gaps in infrastructure or tooling that could hinder AI deployment at scale.

Vendor & Build vs. Buy Strategies

Lead vendor evaluations, perform technical due diligence, and advise on build vs. buy decisions, balancing cost, complexity, and strategic fit. Ensure selected AI tools and platforms align with organizational standards, security policies, and enterprise architecture. Coordinate with internal AI/ML teams and external vendors to integrate third-party AI solutions, ensuring they meet compliance and security standards.

Governance, Risk, and Compliance

Apply enterprise AI governance frameworks, incorporating privacy, security, safety, and ethical considerations. Assess vendor risks, including data residency, lock-in, and operational support. Collaborate with security, legal, and compliance teams during vendor evaluations and solution design.

Cross-functional Collaboration

Act as the marketing domain representative in enterprise architecture reviews and AI platform working groups. Communicate complex technical solutions effectively to business stakeholders and influence enterprise-wide standards. Provide feed

• Cloud & Infrastructure: Familiarity with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP), cloud services, networking, environment management, and AI-specific infrastructure components like model endpoints, vector stores, and observability tools.
