What are you going to do?

As our new AI delivery lead, you will be responsible for turning prioritized AI opportunities into production-ready solutions and measurable business outcomes. You will combine strong project and delivery management with practical AI and data expertise to structure execution, manage dependencies and guide cross-functional teams from business case through go-live, adoption and value realization.

Your responsibilities will include:

• End-to-end AI use case delivery: Lead AI initiatives from qualification and business case through discovery, design, build, validation, deployment, adoption and benefits tracking. Establish clear scope, outcomes, milestones and acceptance criteria.
• Project and program management: Own integrated delivery plans, budget follow-up, dependencies, risks, issues and decisions. Ensure projects meet agreed quality, timing and value expectations.
• AI delivery expertise: Apply practical knowledge of AI, GenAI, data science and analytics delivery to assess feasibility, challenge solution approaches and anticipate data, model, integration, security and operationalization constraints.
• Business value and prioritization: Translate business needs into structured use cases and measurable success criteria. Prioritize opportunities based on business value, feasibility, scalability, governance readiness and expected ROI.
• Cross-functional stakeholder leadership: Align sponsors, product owners, countries, Data Science, Engineering, IT, Architecture, Security, Risk, Legal and central teams. Facilitate decisions and provide clear visibility on progress, risks and actions.
• Governance and responsible AI: Embed architecture, security, privacy, legal, risk and AI governance validations into delivery plans, with clear evidence, ownership and decision tracking.
