• Translating business problems into practical AI solutions and working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver them.
• Providing technical oversight to challenge and guide engineering and data teams around AI solutions, LLMs, data, document processing and implementation.
• Establishing safe-use guidelines, risk management frameworks, and compliance oversight for data privacy and regulations.
