Opdrachtomschrijving Functieomschrijving APG Asset Management is establishing a Business AI & Self-Service (BAIS) Centre of Excellence to enable responsible, scalable and value-driven adoption of artificial intelligence. BAIS combines platform engineering and managed AI services with architecture, standards, governance, responsible AI, adoption and capability development. External specialists work as an integrated extension of BAIS and collaborate closely with internal employees and business, technology, security and control stakeholders. As Senior AI Architect and Capability Coach, you provide technical leadership and establish practical architectural foundations for scalable and responsible AI adoption. You translate the future-state AI architecture into implementable standards, patterns and solution guidance. A central part of the role is coaching internal colleagues so APG can independently continue architecture analysis and reviews.

Define architecture principles for generative AI, machine learning, RAG, AI agents and reusable AI services. Develop reference architectures and standard patterns for integration, identity, security, data, monitoring and lifecycle management. Advise on technology choices, model selection, hosting, orchestration, build-versus-buy decisions and third-party dependencies. Establish a lightweight AI architecture review method and support selected BAIS initiatives. Identify architectural risks, duplication, dependencies and opportunities for reuse. Collaborate with Enterprise Architecture, Security, Data Architecture, Privacy and Risk functions. Coach internal architects, engineers and senior developers through pairing, design clinics and reviews. Create and maintain architecture templates, decision records and handover documentation. Dit breng je mee: We are looking for an experienced professional who combines specialist expertise with ownership, collaboration and clear communication.
