Responsibilities

Support our internal technical teams through ideation and scoping of AI solutions to high-value problems including data collection, risk management, and ongoing deployment.
Shape the next generation of confident AI leaders through educational and enablement sessions – with both internal and external stakeholders – to demystify AI/ML concepts, guide design thinking exercises, and drive adoption with a focus on explainability, trust, value creation, and risk management.

Advocate for the integration of AI strategy across our organization, championing its consideration at every phase of every project — not merely at inception or final evaluation, and not solely within the confines of explicitly AI-focused work, but as a guiding principle woven throughout all initiatives.
