• Leverage a variety of AI assistants (e.g., Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude) to accelerate research, content generation, and day-to-day productivity gains.
• Drive the design, and delivery of AI automations and AI-enabled projects across the enterprise — championing opportunities to embed AI into workflows, building end-to-end automations, and enabling the ability to measure their impact on productivity, cost, and scale.
• Partner with Procurement, Legal, InfoSec, and business stakeholders on RFPs and ROI analysis with third parties.
• Identify and manage program risks and issues, ensuring proactive mitigation measures are in place across interdependent workstreams.

• Ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously while advising on portfolio-level priorities and dependencies.
• Exceptional leadership, communication, and facilitation skills to foster collaboration, unify stakeholders and third parties, and advocate for positive change — including the ability to influence and align senior leaders without direct authority.
• Experience building and optimizing end-to-end AI automations using a variety of tools (e.g., Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, Workato) to drive organizational efficiency.
• Track record of success navigating and assessing a diverse portfolio of SaaS solutions (e.g., Salesforce, NetSuite, Snowflake, ThoughtSpot) to identify and implement new technologies that drive enterprise scale and maturity.
