- Ensure teams stay aligned around shared priorities, owners, milestones, risks, and measurable outcomes.
- Build and mature the Measure and ROI pillar of AI Control Tower in partnership with finance and cross-functional AI Champions.
- Establish portfolio-level visibility into AI initiatives - investment, expected value, adoption, quality, operational readiness, risk, and realized impact.
- Partner with risk, compliance, security, legal, privacy, and finance on the internal AI governance strategic roadmap.
- Help leaders decide what to fund, scale, pause, retire, mediate, or consolidate across the enterprise AI portfolio.
QualificationsTo be successful in this role you have:- 12 - 15 years of experience in strategy and operations, enterprise transformation, AI, management consulting, product operations, or program leadership.

- Strong analytical and business judgment, connecting technical initiatives to measurable business outcomes.
