YOUR MISSION

AI is reshaping how businesses understand, engage and create value for their clients. As AI Lead within our Digital Acceleration Team, you will turn the possibilities of Generative AI and Predictive AI into meaningful, real-world impact, leading high-impact initiatives from idea and experimentation to implementation.

We are looking for someone who is genuinely excited by the rapid evolution of AI, curious about what comes next, and eager to experiment, learn and build new solutions. You will combine strong AI expertise with an entrepreneurial mindset and initiate, plan, execute and deliver projects against clear objectives, aligned with the organization’s strategic priorities.

HOW WILL YOU MAKE AN IMPACT?

• Project Planning and Execution: Developing comprehensive project plans, defining project scope, setting realistic timelines, allocating resources effectively, and managing project execution to ensure timely completion within budget. Translate the AI strategy into a focused roadmap of Predictive AI and Generative AI use cases, leading initiatives from discovery and experimentation through scalable production deployment.
• Stakeholder Management: Identifying and engaging stakeholders, understanding their needs and expectations, managing communication, and resolving conflicts to ensure stakeholder satisfaction and project success. Build strong alignment across business, data and technology teams at regional and global levels, and help stakeholders translate business challenges into valuable, feasible AI opportunities.

• Problem Solving: Identifying and resolving project-related problems and issues, using analytical and critical thinking skills to develop effective solutions, and escalating issues as needed. Stay current with emerging AI technologies, rapidly test new approaches, and determine which ideas are sufficiently valuable and robust to move beyond experimentation.
• Benefits Realization: Ensuring that project outcomes align with business objectives, tracking and measuring project benefits, and working with stakeholders to realize the intended value of the project.
