• Drive End-to-End Innovation:Plan, execute and deliver the multi-quarter roadmap for core AI innovation.
• Integrations & Release Management:Manage product release cycles, coordinating complex rollouts across hardware, software, operations, and quality assurance teams without disrupting critical production flows.

Risk Management & Innovation

• De-Risk Innovation:Track and evolve processes around defining rigorous, structured criteria to evaluate and integrate emerging AI technologies, ensuring 90% of technical and deployment risks are eliminated before handing models off to engineering pipelines.
• Proactive Mitigation:Facilitate a proactive approach to risk mitigation and technical bottlenecks and dependencies, cross team and company horizons.

Stakeholder Alignment & Cross-Functional Coordination

• Bridges the Gap:Serve as the translator between highly specialized AI Researchers/Data Scientists and all the other technical teams cross company horizons.
