• Evaluate AI tools in the market and assess when to leverage existing platforms vs. build internally
• Create clear recommendations for leadership with cost implications
• Track and report on AI platform costs, API usage, and total cost of ownership
• Work with internal stakeholders to identify data sources and opportunities for AI leverage
• Help organize and prepare data for AI-driven use cases
• Partner with consultants and functional leaders to translate real-world business needs into AI-enabled solutions
• Establish and enforce data governance guardrails: what data can and cannot be used in AI tools, PII handling, and confidentiality protocols
• Drive user adoption through hands-on training, documentation, and workflow embedding
• Identify and cultivate AI champions within each functional area
• Run regular demos and share progress with senior leadership
• Track adoption metrics and iterate on tools based on user feedback
• Evaluate, trial, and manage relationships with AI tool vendors

• Negotiate licenses and manage renewals for AI platforms
• Move quickly from concept to test
• Embrace context switching as priorities evolve
• Iterate rapidly when ideas don’t land as expected

• Proven experience experimenting with AI tools, automation workflows, or light scripting (not necessarily production grade), such as Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity AI, Zapier AI, or GitHub Copilot.
