Senior AI Solution Specialist

Do you want to help an entire organisation turn AI opportunities into solutions that deliver real business value, while still building those solutions yourself?

As Senior AI Solution Specialist at Sunweb Group, you take the lead on our more complex AI initiatives. You turn ambiguous business challenges into working prototypes and scalable solutions, while helping shape how we use AI across the organisation.

You’ll join our five-person Architecture team and work closely with the AI PMO, connecting business teams with architecture, product, engineering, data and security.

This is a hands-on senior role. Seniority here means tackling more complex challenges, having greater autonomy and impact, and helping others grow. It doesn’t mean stepping away from the technology. You’ll still design, prototype and build.

Location: Rotterdam (Hybrid – 50% in office)
Start Date: December/ January

Availability: Fulltime

Your impact

• Lead complex AI discovery. Turn unclear, cross-functional or strategically important business challenges into concrete AI opportunities. Take them from problem definition and validation through to a working prototype.

• Build AI solutions. Design and develop agents, assistants and automated workflows that connect different departments, data sources and systems.

• Shape enterprise AI initiatives. Identify when an AI solution needs to move beyond experimentation into a business-critical or customer-facing product, and work with product and engineering teams to make that transition successful.

• Design for production. Define solution architecture, integrations and non-functional requirements, while considering scalability, security, supportability, cost and business value.

• Create reusable AI patterns. Develop approaches for grounding, identity, integration, monitoring and evaluation that can be reused across teams, and identify opportunities for shared AI capabilities.

• Coach and challenge others. Review solutions, share technical expertise and coach colleagues and business users. You’ll work closely with our AI Solution Specialist and help raise the quality of AI solutions across Sunweb Group.

• Strengthen responsible AI. Contribute to our AI framework and guardrails, promote responsible use of AI and help create visibility around our AI initiatives.

Who you are

You’re curious, pragmatic and comfortable navigating ambiguity. You combine strong technical judgement with the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

You know the difference between an impressive AI demo and a solution that creates measurable business value. You enjoy working independently, bringing different perspectives together and sharing what you learn along the way.

Most importantly, you still enjoy building things yourself.
