This person will turn strategic priorities into executable plans, coordinate work across business and key partners in a highly matrixed and complex environment, manage risks and dependencies, and provide leaders with clear visibility into progress and decisions. This is not a technical AI-development role; we need an experienced business execution leader who can bring structure to ambiguity, drive accountability, and move complex initiatives from planning through implementation.
Responsibilities: - Translate AI priorities into clear work plans, milestones, deliverables, owners, and target dates
- Lead day-to-day execution across multiple initiatives, pilots, and operational readiness activities
- Maintain integrated project plans, action logs, decision trackers, risk and issue logs, and dependency maps
- Coordinate activities across Operations, Product, Technology, Risk, Compliance, Finance, change management, and other partners
- Facilitate working sessions, document decisions, and drive timely completion of follow-up actions
- Identify execution gaps, competing priorities, resource constraints, and delivery risks before they affect outcomes
- Escalate issues with a clear summary of the impact, available options, and recommended action
- Coordinate business requirements, testing, implementation readiness, communications, training dependencies, and transition into ongoing operations
- Prepare concise executive updates that highlight progress, risks, decisions, dependencies, and next steps
- Establish repeatable execution routines, templates, and governance practices that can scale across AI initiatives
Requirements: - 5+ years of Business Execution, Implementation, or Strategic Planning experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work or consulting experience, training, military experience, education
- Substantial experience leading complex business execution, project management, operational planning, or transformation initiatives
- Demonstrated success managing multiple cross-functional workstreams with competing priorities and interdependent deliverables
- Experience converting ambiguous objectives into structured plans, clear ownership, and executable actions
- Strong project-management discipline, including milestone management, risk identification, dependency tracking, decision management, and status reporting
- Experience influencing and driving accountability across teams without direct authority
- Strong facilitation and stakeholder-management skills
- Excellent written and verbal communication, including the ability to create concise, executive-ready materials
- Ability to work independently, anticipate needs, resolve problems, and maintain momentum in a rapidly changing environment
- Experience working within a large, complex, or regulated organization
- Strong proficiency with PowerPoint, Excel, Word, Teams, and standard project-management tools
Desired skills: - Experience supporting AI, automation, digital transformation, process redesign, or technology implementation
- Experience in financial services, consumer lending, servicing, collections, contact centers, or operations
- Experience supporting pilots, proofs of concept, business requirements, testing, implementation readiness, and post-launch transition
- Experience partnering with Operations, Product, Technology, Risk, Compliance, Finance, and change-management teams
Pay range: $51.09 - $59.09 per hour
