This position reports to the Director of Data, Innovation & AI and is part of the Information Technology Division and will be fully remote. The successful candidate is expected to travel to the business user from time to time up to 25%.
In this role, you will have the opportunity to:
  • Operationalize the AI and innovation vision and contribute to strategy by identifying opportunities, dependencies, and sequencing of initiatives.
  • Lead the end-to-end implementation of AI platforms, standards and governance, driving adoption and ensuring consistent application of responsible AI practices.
  • Identify, prioritize, and lead high-impact AI and advanced analytics use cases, moving initiatives from concept and experimentation into production and adoption.
  • Partner with cross-functional business and technology stakeholders to embed AI into core processes, decision-making, and products.
  • Manage day-to-day execution of AI and analytics teams, assigning work, overseeing technical quality, and ensuring consistent, high-quality delivery outcomes.
  • Develop AI capability by mentoring practitioners, promoting best practices, and improve AI literacy across both technical teams and business partners.
  • Evaluate and pilot emerging AI tools and technologies, identifying opportunities to improve solution scalability, performance, and business impact.

The essential requirements of the job include:
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related quantitative discipline (advanced degree preferred).
  • 10+ years of experience in AI, data science, advanced analytics, or related technology roles, with increasing responsibility.
  • Proven experience delivering AI or analytics solutions end-to-end, from concept through production, with measurable business impact.
  • Strong knowledge of modern AI techniques and platforms, including machine learning, data modeling, and emerging AI/GenAI capabilities.
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders and lead technical work, while ensuring adherence to governance, security, and responsible AI practices.

It would be a plus if you also possess previous experience in:
  • Experience piloting or implementing emerging AI technologies (e.g., GenAI, LLMs, automation tools) and translating them into scalable, production-ready solutions.
  • Exposure to regulated or quality-driven environments (e.g., healthcare, life sciences, financial services), with an understanding of compliance and audit requirements.
  • Experience contributing to or implementing AI governance, model risk management, or responsible AI frameworks within an enterprise setting.
