Architecting the Future: Agentic AI & Enterprise Transformation
Join us in shaping the next wave of enterprise innovation through Generative and Agentic AI.
We are seeking a pragmatic futurist and business-savvy technologist to redefine how enterprises operate in the AI-first era. This strategic role is available across Cognizant’s key delivery locations in India.
You will lead the design, adoption, and scaling of Generative and Agentic AI ecosystems for our most strategic clients.
This role blends advisory, hands-on solutioning, and practice-building leadership to ensure AI delivers tangible, industry-specific business outcomes.

Envision, Design and Deliver verticalized AI use cases across one or more industries, including Banking & Financial Services, Consumer Goods, Energy & Utilities, Healthcare, Insurance, Life Sciences, Logistics, Manufacturing, Media, Retail, Telecom, and Travel & Hospitality.
Lead end-to-end model lifecycle: data preparation, training, fine-tuning, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement. Balance LLM vs. SLM adoption for cost, latency, and performance optimization.
Establish enterprise standards for MLOps/LLMOps pipelines (CI/CD, monitoring, observability, drift detection, compliance). Build agent lifecycle governance frameworks for scalable, auditable AI systems.
Mentor and grow a community of architects and engineers. Build capability squads in GenAI/Agentic AI. Shape the company’s AI practice, including skills development, hiring strategy, and succession planning.
Build and leverage strategic partnerships with hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP), ISVs, and AI startups. Co-develop joint offerings, influence partner roadmaps, and co-sell AI solutions into strategic accounts.
Publish white papers, frameworks, and patents. Lead executive roundtables and contribute to the Tech Radar, ensuring the firm shapes the AI conversation in the market.
