  • Champion the use of Generative AI, Machine Learning, NLP, and advanced analytics to enhance products, services, and internal processes
  • Oversee the development and governance of data infrastructure, ensuring data quality, accessibility, and compliance with privacy and security standards
  • Establish and enforce AI ethics, risk management, and responsible AI practices within the organization
  • Develop strategic partnerships with technology providers, academic institutions, and research organizations to accelerate AI innovation
  • Serve as a technical advisor to leadership, translating complex AI concepts into actionable insights and business value
  • Stay ahead of emerging technologies and lead hands-on experimentation, prototyping, and technical evaluations of new AI tools and models

Requirements

  • 15+ years of experience in Digital Technology, with at least 4 years in AI/ML leadership roles across implementation, research, or product environments
  • Proven track record of end-to-end delivery of AI systems, from conceptualization to production — including model development, MLOps, and integration
  • Demonstrated experience translating AI strategy into business impact, with measurable ROI and operational outcomes
  • Deep technical expertise in machine learning, deep learning frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch), large language models, and cloud AI platforms
  • Strong background in data engineering, including data pipelines, architecture, and governance frameworks
  • Strong software engineering background, capable of guiding teams through architectural decisions, code reviews, and deployment processes
  • Excellent understanding of AI ethics, data privacy, and regulatory frameworks (GDPR, Responsible AI guidelines, etc.)
  • Exceptional leadership and communication skills — able to engage with both technical teams and non-technical executives
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to innovate, experiment, and deliver in fast-moving environments
