• Establish and enforce AI ethics, risk management, and responsible AI practices within the organization.
• Develop strategic partnerships with technology providers, academic institutions, and research organizations to accelerate AI innovation.
• Serve as a technical advisor to leadership, translating complex AI concepts into actionable insights and business value.
• Stay ahead of emerging technologies and lead hands-on experimentation, prototyping, and technical evaluations of new AI tools and models.

Who You Are

• 8+ years of experience in Digital Technology, with at least 4 years in AI/ML leadership roles across implementation, research, or product environments.
• Proven track record of end-to-end delivery of AI systems, from conceptualization to production — including model development, MLOps, and integration.

• Deep technical expertise in machine learning, deep learning frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch), large language models, and cloud AI platforms.
• Strong background in data engineering, including data pipelines, architecture, and governance frameworks.
• Strong software engineering background, capable of guiding teams through architectural decisions, code reviews, and deployment processes.
• Excellent understanding of AI ethics, data privacy, and regulatory frameworks (GDPR, Responsible AI guidelines, etc.).
• Exceptional leadership and communication skills — able to engage with both technical teams and non-technical executives.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to innovate, experiment, and deliver in fast-moving environments.
