The ideal candidate will bring strong technology project management skills, exceptional cross-functional leadership, and practical experience guiding AI initiatives from evaluation and planning through implementation, adoption, and transition to operational support.

• Manage scope, schedules, budgets, risks, issues, dependencies, decisions, and status reporting.
• Coordinate stakeholders across business, technology, data, architecture, security, privacy, compliance, vendors, and operations.
• Help define AI use cases, measurable outcomes, success criteria, governance requirements, and implementation plans.
• Provide leadership with clear visibility into project progress, risks, decisions, investments, and expected business value.
• Manage iterative delivery in an environment involving changing requirements and technical uncertainty.
• Drive execution, accountability, adoption, and measurable business outcomes.
