Brief senior management and executives.

Establish approved usage patterns, governance, and operating procedures.

Coordinate risk assessments, legal reviews, cyber evaluations, and compliance.

Partner with architecture and engineering on integrations, security, and platform work.

Facilitate technical design discussions and challenge weak assumptions.

Define KPIs; track utilization, productivity, cost, and ROI.

Build executive dashboards and adoption reporting.

Recommend expand / optimize / retire decisions based on value and usage.

Required Qualifications:

10+ years project or program management.

3+ years leading GenAI and machine learning initiatives.

Preferred Qualifications:

GitHub Copilot, Azure AI Foundry, Claude Code , or similar enterprise AI tools.

Enterprise technology adoption and change management.
