About the Role * 7+ years experience in technology, transformation, product/program management, business process improvement, automation, analytics, AI-enabled transformation, or related disciplines. * 3+ years leading complex cross-functional initiatives involving business stakeholders, technical teams, operational users, governance functions, and executive sponsors. * Analyze business processes, clarify ambiguous problems, identify root causes, and translate business needs into practical solution options. * Working knowledge of enterprise AI capabilities, limitations, and common implementation patterns, including copilots, agents, automation, AI-enabled applications, data-driven workflows, and human-in-the-loop review. * Demonstrated experience evaluating, prototyping, deploying, or operationalizing AI-enabled solutions, including generative AI, copilots, agents, intelligent automation, embedded application intelligence, or AI-enabled business workflows. * Demonstrated product-management or program-management discipline, including backlog management, stakeholder alignment, prioritization, experiment design, stage-gate execution, and outcome measurement. * Ability to develop business cases, value hypotheses, success measures, baselines, adoption assumptions, and post-implementation value reviews. * Ability to communicate credibly with executives, business stakeholders, technical teams, security teams, data owners, and frontline users. * Strong judgment in balancing innovation with security, privacy, compliance, cost, supportability, user adoption, and business value. * Excellent facilitation, written communication, presentation, and stakeholder-influence skills., * Experience with Microsoft 365 Copilot, Power Platform, Dynamics 365, Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, Azure AI services, or similar enterprise AI and automation platforms. * Experience working with data, integrations, APIs, enterprise applications, identity and access management, or solution architecture teams. * Experience leading change adoption, training, communications, or enablement for new technology capabilities. * Experience with vendor assessments, solution comparisons, build/buy/configure decisions, enterprise platform rationalization, business cases, value hypotheses, pilot charters, governance documentation, or post-implementation reviews. ## Description * Partner with business leaders, process owners, and employees to identify AI opportunities in high-friction, repetitive, information-heavy, delayed, or error-prone work. * Analyze business processes, handoffs, systems, data dependencies, decisions, exceptions, and user workflows to determine where AI, automation, embedded platform capabilities, or process redesign can create value. * Manage the enterprise AI opportunity backlog, including intake, prioritization, stage-gate progression, status, risks, dependencies, decisions, and actions. * Identify opportunities to consolidate overlapping AI tools, redundant pilots, vendors, and use cases to reduce duplication, cost, technical debt, and unmanaged AI proliferation. * Shape AI pilots and experiments with hypotheses, target users, success measures, business and technical owners, governance requirements, adoption plans, and decision criteria. * Develop business cases and value hypotheses for prioritized opportunities, including expected benefits, implementation and operating costs, adoption assumptions, baselines, risks, and success criteria. * Coordinate prototypes and pilots that test AI capabilities against business needs, actual users, available data, system constraints, and operational realities. * Evaluate solution options across business value, user experience, accuracy, security, privacy, cost, integration complexity, supportability, scalability, vendor maturity, and risk. * Lead or support build vs. buy vs. configure vs. automate evaluations, especially across Microsoft 365 Copilot, Power Platform, Microsoft Fabric, Dynamics 365, Azure AI, embedded platform capabilities, and third-party vendor solutions. * Work with technical teams, data owners, application owners, Information Security, Legal, Privacy, and AI Operations to ensure AI solutions are governed appropriately. * Drive adoption through demonstrations, guidance, office hours, departmental champions, communication, training, and feedback loops. * Translate AI activity into measurable outcomes such as cycle-time reduction, productivity, quality, throughput, backlog reduction, cost avoidance, margin improvement, customer experience, or employee experience. * Track realized value after implementation to determine whether expected benefits are achieved and whether additional adoption, process, or solution changes are needed. * Recommend whether AI initiatives should scale, continue, change direction, defer, or stop based on evidence, value, readiness, risk, and organizational capacity. * Support operational handoff of successful AI capabilities with ownership, documentation, monitoring, support model, access controls, cost controls, and recurring value reviews. * Prepare portfolio updates, recommendations, decision packages, risks, blockers, and value-realization summaries for leadership and the AI Strategy Team., * AI opportunities are evaluated through a clear, repeatable intake and prioritization process. * Time from opportunity intake to pilot decision improves as the portfolio process matures. * Pilots have defined owners, outcomes, governance requirements, adoption plans, and decision criteria. * Prioritized pilots reach clear scale, continue, change, defer, or stop decisions based on evidence and defined criteria. * Successful AI capabilities move from prototype to supported operational use. * Adoption and utilization of deployed AI capabilities are measured and actively managed with business owners. * AI initiatives produce verified business, operational, customer, or employee-experience value, including hours saved, cost avoided, cycle time reduced, quality improved, throughput increased, backlog reduced, revenue supported, or margin improved. * Realized value is tracked against forecast value, assumptions, costs, and adoption expectations. * Production AI capabilities have defined ownership, monitoring, documentation, access controls, support model, cost controls, and recurring value reviews. ##
