Operating under the oversight of the VP of Analytics, the Director partners closely with operational, IT, Finance, and vendor teams to ensure prioritized AI initiatives are successfully implemented, integrated into workflows, and translated into realized performance improvement.

Ensure selected solutions align with operational roadmaps and are implementable within existing technical constraints. Execution Frameworks & Standardization Develop and maintain standardized execution frameworks for AI delivery, including intake, prioritization, readiness, stage-gating, integration, deployment, and adoption. Apply consistent delivery practices across initiatives to enable scalability and repeatability. Document lessons learned and best practices to inform future delivery.

Partner with HR, Operations, and Communications to support training, adoption, and workforce transition activities. Facilitate alignment and engagement across teams impacted by AI-driven change.
