Formación

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, Supply Chain, Procurement, Business Administration, Information Systems, or a related field is required; an advanced degree is preferred.
• A minimum of eight (8) years of relevant experience in AI, digital products, analytics, automation, procurement, supply chain, technology, or business transformation is required.
• Experience leading AI, analytics, automation, or digital product initiatives from use-case definition through testing, deployment, adoption, and value realization is required.
• Demonstrated knowledge of generative AI concepts, agents, prompt design, model evaluation, workflow orchestration, and human-in-the-loop controls is strongly preferred.
• Experience working with enterprise data, digital platforms, product roadmaps, backlogs, and cross-functional technology delivery teams is required.
• Understanding of responsible AI, data privacy, information security, compliance, model risk, monitoring, and governance principles is required.
• Procurement and/or supply chain experience, including familiarity with category strategy, sourcing, contracting, supplier relationship management, risk, resilience, or operational supply management, is preferred.
• Strong leadership, influencing, collaboration, and executive communication/presentation skills are required.

Responsabilidades

• Build and execute the MTSCP Procurement AI acceleration strategy and roadmap, aligned with business priorities and the digital blueprint.
• Own and manage the AI opportunity and use-case backlog, including intake, value hypothesis, prioritization, sequencing, dependencies, and transparent status reporting.
• Partner with Business Unit Procurement, Global Process Owners, and Data Product Owners to define business problems, affected users, expected value, acceptance criteria, and data readiness before development begins.
• Design and deliver approved AI solutions, agents, model and prompt approaches, workflow automation, controls, monitoring, and orchestration for priority Procurement use cases.
• Lead rapid experimentation and prototyping for future-of-work opportunities, converting successful concepts into scalable, supportable solutions with appropriate delivery partners.
• Ensure AI solutions are developed against approved processes and validated data, with documented testing, approvals, release decisions, and clear separation between builder and approver responsibilities.
• Coordinate AI solution alignment with MedTech Supply Chain Digital, JJT, and the MedTech Wizard framework, including integration into the broader digital and data ecosystem.
• Establish reusable standards, playbooks, patterns, and governance for use-case intake, prompt and agent design, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
• Monitor adoption, accuracy, automation rate, hours saved, decision impact, and realized value; translate performance insights into a prioritized improvement backlog.
• Identify and manage solution risks related to data quality, privacy, security, compliance, reliability, bias, explainability, and human oversight in partnership with the appropriate control owners.
• Lead stakeholder engagement, demonstrations, and executive updates that make AI opportunities, tradeoffs, progress, and business value clear to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Enable adoption through practical training, coaching, reusable assets, and communities of practice, in partnership with the Global Process Owner who leads process change management and communications.
• Manage relationships with AI delivery partners and internal technology teams, setting clear requirements, delivery expectations, quality standards, and handoffs.
• Develop team and organizational capabilities in AI product thinking, responsible experimentation, prompt and agent design, value realization, and outcome-based delivery.
• Maintain clear role boundaries: the AI Accelerator does not independently redefine procurement processes, source data, approve its own production release, or make supplier or business award decisions.
