• Translate business opportunities into defined AI use cases, requirements, success measures, delivery plans, and change impacts.
• Lead cross-functional AI adoption and transformation initiatives from discovery and proof of concept through implementation, validation, rollout, and continuous improvement.
• Develop integrated project plans, milestones, dependencies, risks, decision points, and stakeholder accountabilities; provide clear status reporting and escalate issues when required.
• Build alignment across business, technology, data, risk, privacy, and governance partners; influence stakeholders to make decisions, contribute resources, and adopt new ways of working.
• Establish practical governance and quality controls so AI-enabled processes are responsible, traceable, testable, and sustainable, while tracking adoption, efficiency, quality, and business outcomes after implementation.
