Responsibilities
Set strategy, roadmap, and portfolio: Define a 12–24 month AI vision and roadmap for key workflows across functions, and stand up a cross-functional portfolio of initiatives with clear business cases, KPIs, and an operating cadence to track impact, adoption, and learnings
Lead discovery and design frameworks: Run structured discovery with business units to map processes, quantify pain points, and identify high-value AI use cases; develop repeatable frameworks for intake, prioritization, build vs buy, and value measurement
Shape solution patterns and prototypes: Translate business problems into AI-enabled solution archetypes (e.g., agent workflows, copilots, RAG-based solutions) and use low-code tools, workflow automation, and basic scripting/agent building to create directional prototypes or feasibility spikes that inform technical design
Drive build-vs-buy and external execution: Lead technical and commercial evaluation of vendors and tools; assess when to leverage internal builds vs external solutions, and build/manage a flexible bench of contractors and specialized vendors (e.g., boutique AI shops, implementation partners) to accelerate delivery and manage performance and spend
Lead change, rollout, and capability building: Work with functional leaders, enablement, and ops to design pilots, training, communications, and rollout plans that drive behavior change and measurable impact; serve as a senior thought partner and mentor to help teams build muscles in AI discovery, evaluation, and implementation
Qualification
Required
Experience: At least 7 years in strategy consulting, product strategy, or transformation, with meaningful time spent on digital or AI-driven change, including both top-tier consulting or equivalent and in-house roles
End-to-end transformation delivery: Proven track record seeing AI or digital transformation programs through discovery → design → pilot → rollout → scale, not just recommending them
Process and value orientation: Strong experience with process evaluation and redesign (mapping workflows, quantifying opportunities, building business cases) and comfort building ROI models and success metrics
Technical fluency: Ability to independently use low/no-code tools and workflow automation, build and iterate on prototypes or agent workflows, and evaluate technical feasibility of vendor and tooling options (APIs, data flows, integration implications)
Business–technical translation: Ability to translate between business and technical stakeholders, framing AI opportunities in clear, structured narratives and decision frameworks for senior leaders
Stakeholder management and communication: Excellent cross-functional communication skills; comfortable influencing senior leaders and partnering closely with engineering, data, and operations
Working style: High bias for action, comfort with ambiguity, and a builder mentality—willing to iterate, experiment, and learn quickly
Preferred
AI/LLM-specific experience: Experience with AI/LLM-driven transformations, including agent-based workflows or RAG-style systems
Tooling and integration: Experience evaluating enterprise SaaS vendors and integrating APIs into broader data/AI platforms
Budget and partner management: Experience managing a meaningful budget across tools, pilots, and external partners
Background and interests: Computer science, engineering, or similar backgrounds; MBA or equivalent professional experience; interest in sports, collectibles, or large-scale operations
