• Stay abreast of developments in AI, tax technology and regulatory changes, translating insights into actionable strategies.
• Champion the integration of AI technologies within KPMG Tax & Legal function, collaborating with cross‑functional teams to identify, pilot, and scale AI solutions.
• Develop and deliver training, best practices, and change management strategies to drive user engagement and adoption.
• Monitor and measure the impact of AI initiatives, providing regular updates to leadership and stakeholders.
