Responsibilities

Conduct structured workflow audits with key business unit stakeholders using a problem-first canvas, mapping current-state processes to identify inefficiencies, decision points, and human-in-the-loop needs

Translate ambiguous business objectives into clear problem statements, system requirements, and success metrics (such as opportunity size, ROI, and level of effort)

Maintain an intake pipeline of AI opportunities; evaluate and prioritize using a standardized scoring framework (impact, effort, risk, adoption readiness)

Define criteria for measuring the success of prioritized use cases (both pilot and post-deployment)

Design AI-first future-state processes for these prioritized use cases and validate with key business unit stakeholders. Determine ability to build these processes using no-code/low-code workflows (e.g., ChatGPT Enterprise paired with MCP servers) or if custom code built by the software & data engineering team is required

For no-code/low-code prioritized use cases, build prototype use cases by developing structured prompts and scenario tests (clearly defining context, inputs, outputs, constraints) to validate via proof-of-concept. For custom code prioritized use cases, work with software & data engineering team to design specifications

Pressure-test and iteratively refine pilots into final deliverables with business leads to ensure reliability, accuracy, and “last-mile” integration into daily operations

Measure post-deployment impact through a clear ROI methodology, partnering with finance and business leads to quantify time savings, cost avoidance, risk reduction, or efficiency gains

Identify trends, gaps, and issues in results to continuously improve how AI workflows operate

Report regularly to the AI Advisory Council on performance, adoption, and value creation

Act as an AI evangelist, leading live demos, workshops, and user testing sessions to help teams understand how, why, and when to use AI

Identify and mentor departmental AI Champions as part of RXR’s hub-and-spoke AI model

Develop and maintain process documentation, prompt libraries, and training content as part of RXR’s AI Acumen Program

Collect user feedback and adoption data to ensure all efforts are optimized
