Vice Preseident Technical Architecture & AI Transformation

The Role

Fusion Risk Management is seeking a hands-on technical executive to serve as Vice President, Technical Architecture & AI Transformation. Reporting to the Chief Customer Officer (CCO), this role leads Fusion's Technical Architecture practice while personally building and directing the development of AI tooling used by Professional Services.

This is a dual-mandate leadership role.

On the architecture side, this leader manages and mentors Fusion's technical architects, establishes practice standards, supports complex customer engagements, and serves as the senior technical authority for enterprise and regulated customers.

As Fusion evolves into a multi-platform company - built on Salesforce today and expanding to ServiceNow - this leader will bring deep architectural expertise in at least one of these platforms, with Salesforce preferred, and develop sufficient depth in the other to lead architects effectively and engage credibly with prospective customers' enterprise architecture and security teams.
