The Work:

The Technical Lead is responsible for endtoend technical leadership across contact center modernization and agentic AI engagements, shaping solution architecture, guiding technical delivery, and ensuring scalable, secure, and resilient implementations.

This role leads the technical workstream across CCaaS platforms, cloud infrastructure, agentic AI workflows, and enterprise integrations, working closely with Delivery Leads, Functional Leads, Architects, and client IT stakeholders.

• Define TOBE technical architecture and solution blueprints, covering platform, cloud, integration, security, and analytics considerations.
• Provide technical direction across CCaaS platforms (e.g., Amazon Connect, Genesys, NICE) and supporting AWS services.

CCaaS Platform Leadership

• Lead the design and implementation of CCaaS capabilities, including:
  • Call routing, IVR, queues, and contact flows
  • Digital channels and omnichannel orchestration
  • Reporting, analytics, and quality management

  • Agent orchestration and multiagent patterns
  • Conversation flows, intent handling, and context management
  • Integration of agents with front and backoffice systems
• Translate agentic usecase designs into productionready technical workflows, identifying dependencies, risks, and scalability constraints.
• Integration, Cloud & Security

• Own the technical approach for system integrations between CCaaS platforms and enterprise systems (CRM, core platforms, authentication, data services).
• Guide cloud setup and architecture (e.g., AWS landing zone alignment, connectivity, access, resiliency).
• Ensure solutions meet security, compliance, and operational resilience requirements, particularly in regulated environments.

Delivery Oversight & Team Leadership

• Provide daytoday technical leadership to Technical Associates and engineers, reviewing designs, configurations, and build outputs.
• Support and guide build, testing (SIT/UAT), deployment, and hypercare activities.
• Proactively manage technical risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs.

Stakeholder & Governance Engagement

• Act as the primary technical point of contact for client IT and architecture stakeholders.
• Support executivelevel discussions with clear articulation of technical options, implications, and recommendations.
• Ensure adherence to internal delivery standards, governance, and best practices.

Basic Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in technical delivery, solution architecture, or engineering leadership roles.
• Proven experience leading CCaaS or contact center transformation initiatives.
• Strong background in cloudbased architectures and enterprise integrations.
• A University degree is required for this position.
• Deep understanding of CCaaS platforms (e.g., Amazon Connect, Genesys, NICE) and contact center architectures.
• Handson experience with or strong exposure to agentic AI, conversational AI, or automation solutions.
• Ability to design and scale agentic workflows that integrate with enterprise systems.
• Strong knowledge of:
  • Cloud platforms (preferably AWS)
  • APIs, eventdriven architectures, and integration patterns
  • Security, identity, and access management concepts
• Comfortable translating architecture into executable designs and guiding teams through implementation.

• Experience leading teams in agile or hybrid delivery models.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.

Due to the significant high volume of interactions with these English-speaking stakeholders, which is inherent to this position, it is not possible to reorganize the company's activities to avoid this requirement.

Nice to Have

• Experience in financial services or regulated environments.
• Exposure to largescale CCaaS migrations from legacy platforms.
• Experience with agentic AI frameworks or managed AI services.
• Prior consulting or SI delivery experience.
