• Scale proven AI use cases across business units to drive sustained performance.
• Ensure AI initiatives comply with enterprise governance, cybersecurity, data privacy, and regulatory standards.
• Establish measurable adoption and accountability standards.
• Manage external AI partners and vendors to accelerate time-to-value while minimizing risk.

• Embedded AI-enabled workflows across commercial and operational functions.

• Reduced operational friction and strengthened compliance discipline.

• Experience prioritizing investments and leading cross-functional initiatives.
• Working knowledge of AI, advanced analytics, and modern digital platforms.

Preferred:

• Experience deploying AI or analytics solutions in an enterprise environment.
• Experience managing external technology vendors.
• Exposure to industrial, manufacturing, or engineered product environments.
