Responsibilities

• Meet with department leads and teams to understand how work is done today, identify problems and frame them clearly.
• Break down unclear, cluttered situations into defined problems, scope, success criteria and a delivery plan.
• Streamline and simplify business processes, and decide where AI helps and where it does not.
• Navigate stakeholders, approvals and competing priorities pragmatically to keep work moving.
• Own technical strategy and architecture for internal engagements.
• Design and deliver production agentic and LLM systems, including retrieval (RAG), tool use, context and prompt design, guardrails and observability.
