Artificial Intelligence Enablement (Federated by Design)

• Establish enterprise AI governance, standards, and guardrails to support responsible and compliant AI use.
• Enable business-led AI use cases through shared platforms, tooling, and policies rather than centralized solution ownership.
• Guide prioritization of AI initiatives that deliver measurable business value and align with data readiness and governance maturity.
• Serve as a strategic advisor to executive leadership on data, analytics, and AI opportunities, risks, and tradeoffs.
• Partner closely with the Director, Enterprise Architecture to align data platforms, integration patterns, and AI capabilities with the broader technology ecosystem.
• Translate complex data and AI topics into actionable guidance for leadership and business stakeholders.
• Build, lead, and develop high-performing teams across Data Governance, Data Engineering, and AI functions.
• Enable success of federated, business-embedded data resources through standards, coaching, and shared delivery models rather than direct control.
• Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and enterprise-first thinking across centralized and federated teams.
