Job description

More and more organizations are eager to adopt AI. However, many lack a clear strategy, leading to inefficiencies, missed opportunities and increased risks. While technical challenges like model selection, data readiness and scalability are critical, organizations also need guidance on strategic topics such as governance, AI literacy, operational impact and business alignment.
