About the Job:

Why this role exists

Enterprises are past GenAI experimentation. They now demand production systems with measurable ROI, governance, and scale, and most stall in the gap between an impressive pilot and a system that survives production. EXL lives in that gap. We are accountable for outcomes on our clients’ data, in their environment, against their SLAs. This role is the senior technical authority who makes that real. You convert ambitious, under-specified client mandates into secure, production-grade Generative and Agentic AI systems, and you turn each engagement into reusable IP that compounds EXL’s delivery leverage and pipeline.

What you will own

• The senior technical relationship with client executives, and the technical shaping of the deals that fund the work.
• End-to-end technical vision and delivery for enterprise GenAI and Agentic AI programs across a portfolio of clients focused on delivering value / outcomes to the clients.
• The technical standard for the practice: reference architectures, reusable accelerators, and the governance and evaluation bar every engagement is held to.
