Establish cost management, usage tracking, agent visibility, and oversight infrastructure. Define evaluation approaches for AI solutions, including quality checks, test cases, usage metrics, human review points, failure handling, and improvement loops. Package successful pilots into reusable reference architectures, implementation templates, and transition plans for production support. Partner with security, privacy, legal, architecture, data, and IT teams on governance, risk review, and standards.

Preferred Qualifications Experience establishing cost management, usage tracking, agent visibility, or AI oversight infrastructure. Experience creating technical standards, reference architectures, production readiness checklists, or support playbooks. Success Measures Success in this role will be measured by consistently evaluated and prioritized AI use cases, reusable and secure approved AI patterns, governed adoption of AI platforms and tools, measurable business value, cost, adoption, and agent activity, clear Help Desk setup and escalation guidance, and executive visibility into roadmap, risks, and outcomes.
