• Design and help deploy AI frameworks, infrastructure, and operating models.
• Build and orchestrate agentic workflows and AI-enabled processes to support both client solutions and internal business activities.
• Provide expert guidance on AI governance, policy, and responsible AI practices.
• Identify AI-related risks and design metrics, controls, and monitoring approaches.
• Support AI model evaluation, validation, and lifecycle management activities.
• Manage AI-focused consulting engagements from initial scoping through delivery and close-out.
• Coach, mentor, and review the work of consultants and senior consultants.
• Serve as a confident, credible, and compelling client-facing leader.
• Lead pursuits, proposals, and client presentations.
• Build and deepen long-term client relationships rooted in trust and delivery excellence.
