In this role, you will thrive in deep ambiguity, bridging the gap between research, machine learning engineers, infrastructure teams, and executive leaders to structure the discovery process itself and transform exploratory ideas into actionable, measurable programs., * Drive the daily work and enable the long-term strategy of AIPI programs; develop and document processes and methodologies to drive consistency across AIPI initiatives; act as a central point of contact and single source of truth for AIPI programs. * Oversee all aspects of AI pathfinding projects, including resourcing and timeline; design and maintain scalable project roadmaps aligned with strategic goals; identify and work to close any technical gap or barrier stalling project achievement. * Represent the AIPI function in cross-functional operations initiatives, working teams, and meetings to further priorities, establish relationships, and act as liaison between organizations; partner closely with collaborators and SMEs to develop meaningful, measurable objectives and actions. * Advise leadership on technical feasibility, risk mitigation, and resource allocation to optimize outcomes; communicate high-level technical risks and breakthroughs clearly to non-technical executives; develop, coordinate, and sustain top-level organizational objectives with regular read-outs to senior/executive partners. * Partner to identify technical bottlenecks, evaluate trade-offs, and decide when to adjust, scale, or end experimental paths. Remove technical and operational barriers so research teams can move quickly. Establish quick learning loops, checkpoints, and measures for unproven technologies. Implement and lead all aspects of important measures to ensure deliverables are achieved and have the desired impact.
