You will own the transformation roadmap, translate board ambition into funded programmes, guide role redesign, and partner with the CHRO on reskilling while establishing governance that satisfies MAS and enables adoption.

Qualifications

Responsibilities

• Own the group AI transformation roadmap — which functions change, in what order, and why.
• Translate board ambition into funded, sequenced programmes with honest business cases.
• Lead role redesign as AI absorbs task work — what people stop doing, start doing, and get trained on.
• Partner the CHRO on workforce transition: reskilling pathways, redeployment, and the hard calls.
• Stand up AI governance that satisfies MAS expectations without strangling adoption.
• Run the change: managers who use the tools, teams who trust the process, adoption you can measure.
