• Partner with data engineering teams to define data architecture requirements, pipeline standards, and quality frameworks that support advanced analytics and AI at scale.
• Drive MLOps best practices, including CI/CD for ML, model monitoring, retraining strategies, and deployment automation.

Strategic Influence & Stakeholder Engagement

• Engage proactively with 3M stakeholders, A&I Pillar Leads, and IT COE partners to identify high-value AI opportunities and translate them into structured, impactful solution roadmaps.
• Influence AI technology stack recommendations and contribute to the broader A&I innovation agenda.
• Lead stakeholder engagement throughout solution design, testing, validation, and adoption phases, ensuring solutions are embedded and delivering value.
• Provide technical mentorship and guidance to mid-level Data Scientists and AI Specialists, elevating team capabilities and fostering a culture of technical excellence.
• Communicate complex AI/ML concepts and model outcomes clearly and persuasively to senior technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Documentation & Governance

• Own comprehensive documentation of model architecture, data lineage, performance metrics, and governance artifacts for all AI solutions developed.
• Apply 3M development standards and responsible AI frameworks consistently across all deliverables.
• Proactively identify and mitigate risks related to model bias, data drift, data quality, and solution reliability.
