In this role, you’ll make an impact in the following ways:

• Own strategic planning for AI and data initiatives: translate enterprise priorities into a multi-quarter AI strategy, roadmap, and investment plan; define portfolio governance and decision cadence.
• Lead business case development and value realization: build and review ROI scenarios, benefits hypotheses, capacity plans, and operating impacts; ensure initiatives have measurable KPIs/OKRs and adoption plans.
• Frame and prioritize AI use cases: partner with business and product leaders to identify high-impact opportunities; evaluate feasibility, risk, and scalability; drive clear go/no-go recommendations.
• Influence operating model and change management: define roles, processes, and ways of working required to scale AI solutions; drive stakeholder alignment and adoption across business lines.

• Typically 6-10+ years of experience in strategy consulting, corporate strategy, transformation, product strategy, or analytics/AI strategy within large enterprises (financial services a plus).
