Reports to: SVP – Head of Consulting

Role Purpose The Capability Development Lead – Functional Skills Development is responsible for building, scaling, and embedding functional capability across the organization, with a primary focus on AI‑driven skill adoption and transformation.

The role exists to ensure that:

- Employees are able to leverage AI effectively in real work
- Functional productivity and quality improve measurably
- AI and non‑AI functional skills are embedded into daily workflows

Core Responsibilities

1. AI Capability Strategy & Adoption
