Job description

Build what’s next in enterprise AI—solutions that materially improve how teams make decisions, automate work, and serve internal customers. In this role, you will take generative AI from concept to production and help set the standard for semantic consistency across systems. You will partner closely with stakeholders to turn complex business needs into measurable outcomes. You will mentor talent and influence technical direction across Corporate Technology and supported Corporate Functions. If you enjoy solving hard problems with real impact, this is the opportunity.

As an Applied AI and Machine Learning Lead in the Corporate Technology Data Science and AI team, you will design, build, and deploy scalable analytical and generative AI solutions that deliver measurable business value. You will collaborate with stakeholders to shape problem statements, define success metrics, and deliver production-ready models and intelligent workflows. You will help establish enterprise semantic modeling standards and a unified semantic layer that improves trust and consistency across analytics and AI use cases. We will support you with a collaborative environment where you can innovate, mentor others, and continuously grow your skills.
