Responsibilities

Support the development of Shopee and Monee’s enterprise AI strategy, translating leadership priorities into multi-quarter roadmaps, OKRs, and actionable portfolio priorities.
Own the portfolio-level view of AI initiatives across markets and business domains, including intake, prioritisation, governance gates, dependencies, risks, and resource trade-offs.
Establish and run regular AI management cadences, including portfolio reviews, leadership updates, cross-market alignment, decision tracking, and escalation follow-through.
Define common frameworks for evaluating and prioritising AI opportunities based on strategic relevance, business value, scalability, implementation readiness, cost, and risk.
Develop measurement frameworks covering AI adoption, productivity, quality, cost efficiency, capacity / HC impact, and realised business value.
Work with business, product, BI, and solution owners to validate impact evidence and convert fragmented project results into credible portfolio-level insights.
Prepare leadership-facing strategy materials, business cases, management dashboards, and recommendations that support decisions on priorities, investment, resources, and operating-model changes.
Support annual and quarterly planning for AI, including initiative pipeline, budget and capacity requirements, HC planning, and cross-team dependencies.
Define scalable Regional–Local operating mechanisms, clarifying ownership, decision rights, escalation paths, and the respective roles of AI PMO, AI Champions, platform teams, and AI Solution / BPM owners.
Partner with AI Solution / BPM, AI platform, Token / Model Hub, governance, and business teams to identify systemic blockers and convert them into portfolio, policy, or platform-level actions.
Track relevant developments in enterprise AI and assess their implications for internal AI strategy, investment priorities, governance, and workforce transformation
