• Drive stakeholder engagement and change management to ensure AI solution adoption
• Continuously assess program performance, identify risks, and optimize impact

• Ability to quickly learn new technological concepts
• Ability to connect AI technical concepts to business outcomes
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with strong influencing abilities

Assets

• Experience in AI, machine learning, or data-driven initiatives
• Familiarity with enterprise data platforms, analytics, or cloud environments
