Description

About Alvarez & Marsal

Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) is a global consulting firm with entrepreneurial, action- and results-oriented professionals. We take a hands-on approach to solving our clients problems and helping them reach their potential. A&M is different by design: we give people ownership and impact from day one, fuel development through real opportunity, and provide direct access to leaders who invest in our growth. Our culture celebrates independent thinkers and doers who positively impact clients and shape our industry. Guided by A&M s core values of Integrity, Quality, Objectivity, Fun, Personal Reward, and Inclusive Diversity, our collaborative, globally minded environment is why our people love working at A&M.

The Team

A&M is seeking a Manager to join A&M IQx, our AI-focused business unit. We design, build, and deploy AI solutions that help clients eliminate manual work, move faster, and deliver measurable results across industries.

This is a technical leadership and consulting role, which includes both hands-on building, solution design, workstream leadership, and client advisory. You will own solution architecture, lead a project workstream, build the most complex components yourself, mentor Associates and Senior Associates, and serve as a trusted advisor to client executives. You will take solutions from proof of concept through secure, enterprise-scale production, and help shape proposals and pursuits with business unit leadership.

How You Will Contribute

Solution Architecture and Technical Strategy

• Own the end-to-end architecture of client AI and data solutions across data platforms, backend services, APIs, AI services, integrations, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Translate business requirements into scalable, secure, maintainable designs, and define the technical roadmap from concept through production.
• Produce architecture diagrams, solution designs, data flows, and technical specifications that give delivery teams clear direction.
• Evaluate AI technologies, frameworks, and platforms against business requirements, scalability, security, performance, maintainability, and cost.

Hands-On Architecture and Development

• Build hands-on, developing proofs of concept and production components for complex AI, integration, API, and cloud challenges.
• Review and improve code, validate architectural approaches, and make sure designs become working software.
• Apply engineering standards, including source control, code review, automated testing, CI/CD, monitoring, and documentation.
• Design AI solutions that move from proof of concept into secure, reliable production environments.

Workstream Leadership and Team Development

• Lead project workstreams, owning scope, estimates, plans, quality, and delivery against client goals.
• Mentor and coach Associates and Senior Associates and provide technical direction to the team.
• Apply structured problem-solving frameworks and methodologies to design and execute project plans aligned with client goals.
• Establish structure and technical direction where requirements are not fully defined.

Client Advisory and Business Development

• Build strong relationships with client executives, demonstrating executive presence and professionalism.
• Communicate architecture decisions and tradeoffs clearly to C-suite and technical audiences.
• Identify client needs and opportunities for A&M, leveraging your network to maintain and grow business relationships.
• Support and lead proposal creation, solutioning, and sales initiatives.
• Foster an inclusive and engaging team environment that values collaboration and diverse perspectives.

Qualifications:

Required

• 8+ years of experience in AI/ML solution design, AI/ML engineering, data engineering, systems engineering, or software engineering, including at least 3 years leading technical workstreams, teams, or solution architecture, and current hands-on skills in designing, coding, prototyping, and troubleshooting.
• Experience using AI coding tools (i.e. Claude Code) to write production code, with the discipline to test and validate that the result works and meets its purpose.
• Strong coding fluency in at least one language (i.e., Python) and SQL, built over 4+ years of software engineering.
• Deep experience designing and deploying solutions on a cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes), with working command of source control, code review, automated testing, CI/CD, and production support.
• Experience designing APIs, backend services, and data pipelines, including orchestration of containerized and scheduled jobs (for example FastAPI, SFTP-based transfers, Kubernetes jobs, and Docker containers).
• Hands-on experience delivering at least one LLM-based solution, such as RAG, workflow automation, or document processing, from proof of concept through production deployment.
• Strong understanding of architecture principles, including scalability, security, reliability, observability, maintainability, and performance.
• Experience leading client-facing delivery in consulting or a comparable role, with the ability to present complex technical concepts to C-suite and executive audiences.
• Demonstrated ability to operate effectively in ambiguous environments.
• Willingness to travel as required for client engagements.

Strongly Preferred

• Experience designing automated, agent-based or workflow-driven systems in production, including error handling, retries, and recovery from system failures. Familiarity with frameworks such as LangChain or CrewAI is helpful.
• Experience delivering working solutions with AI assistance in languages you are not deeply proficient in (for example, shipping a TypeScript front end using AI tools).
• Experience with vector databases, embeddings, and evaluation and guardrail approaches for LLM applications.
• Knowledge of enterprise identity and security standards, including SSO, OAuth/OIDC, role-based access control, audit logging, and compliance controls.
• Experience with modern data platforms and orchestration tools (for example, data warehouses or lakehouses).
• Experience contributing to proposals or pursuits in a consulting environment.
