- Translate business capability needs into architecture blueprints, technical decisions, and implementation direction.
- Lead delivery execution across product, engineering, governance, security, and business teams from concept through implementation, while maintaining a reasonable percentage of direct involvement in solution shaping and critical execution decisions.
- Shape new initiatives by defining scope, sequencing, dependencies, risks, assumptions, and high-level estimates.
- Drive architecture and delivery decisions across multiple concurrent efforts while balancing speed, quality, risk, sustainability, and value realization.
- Guide data architecture across cloud-native platforms including lake, warehouse, semantic, and consumption layers, and ensure governed, reusable data models aligned to business definitions.
- Lead design and delivery of enterprise AI solutions including generative AI, retrieval-augmented generation, enterprise AI assistants, knowledge retrieval, intelligent workflow automation, and predictive analytics use cases.
- Establish practical delivery and evaluation patterns for AI solutions from experimentation through production rollout, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
- Ensure solutions meet enterprise standards for governance, security, privacy, responsible AI,
operational readiness, and supportability.
- Act as a key interface across business stakeholders, product leaders, governance leaders, engineering teams, and enterprise technology leadership, while actively building team capability through mentoring, coaching, and practical knowledge transfer.
