- Deploy Claude Code and support model-routing configurations using approved LLM gateways or platforms such as Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, or Microsoft Foundry.
- Establish AI capabilities in Microsoft Azure where appropriate, using solutions such as Azure OpenAI, Azure AI services, Microsoft Foundry, and Azure infrastructure.
- Provide executive sponsors with regular reporting and recommendations related to adoption, cost, risk, training, champion activation, workflow redesign, policy changes, and license allocation.
- Identify and remove barriers to AI adoption while sharing field insights with internal stakeholders and technology vendors.
- Lead and activate a cross-functional network of AI champions to encourage responsible adoption and help scale successful use cases.
What you'll need to be successful.- Seven or more years of experience in technology deployment, enablement, adoption, solutions delivery, or technical program management.
- Demonstrated experience leading technology or platform rollouts at scale within a large or complex organization.
- A proven record of increasing adoption and converting technology investments into sustained, meaningful usage.

- Strong reporting and analytical capabilities, including experience defining adoption and cost metrics, developing dashboards, and translating data into actionable recommendations.
- Working knowledge of enterprise deployment technologies and practices, including SSO, SCIM, MDM-managed settings, and organizational change management.
- Practical understanding of large language models and small language models, including tradeoffs involving cost, latency, accuracy, and data control.
- Experience partnering with Information Technology, Security, Legal, and Privacy teams on governance, acceptable use, and responsible deployment.
- Clear and effective written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage both executive leaders and front-line employees.
- Experience deploying Claude Code or configuring multiple model backends through Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, Microsoft Foundry, or an LLM gateway such as LiteLLM or Bifrost is an asset.
