- Problem Resolution: Troubleshoot implementation issues and collaborate with platform, architecture, security, data, vendor, and business partners to resolve constraints.
Solution Discovery and Delivery Planning - 15%
- Implementation Discovery: Work with business stakeholders and the AI Architect to understand the assigned workflow, users, pain points, desired outcomes, and measures of success.
- Requirements and Data Readiness: Translate an approved use case into implementable requirements and acceptance criteria; identify required data, access, dependencies, and delivery constraints.
- Workflow Validation: Validate the proposed future-state workflow through demonstrations, prototypes, and user feedback, surfacing practical implementation considerations and appropriate human decision points.
- Delivery Planning: Provide estimates, technical findings, risks, and implementation options to support solution and delivery decisions.
Platform and Capability Solutioning - 15%
- Capability Awareness: Maintain a strong understanding of Allied's enterprise platforms, approved technologies, data assets, integration capabilities, and reusable services.
- Capability Fit: Evaluate candidate capabilities through hands-on research and experimentation, including generative AI, predictive machine learning, rules-based automation, analytics, and existing platforms.
- Technical Findings: Document feasibility, performance, integration needs, implementation effort, limitations, and support considerations to inform solution decisions; work with the AI Architect and platform owners to ensure the selected approach follows enterprise patterns and guardrails.
- Recommendations: Develop clear solution recommendations based on business fit, implementation speed, security, integration, cost, scalability, and ongoing support needs.
Responsible, Reliable, and Sustainable Implementation - 10%
- Responsible Delivery: Implement applicable Responsible AI, privacy, security, legal, accessibility, and data-governance requirements.
- Testing and Evaluation: Define and execute evaluations appropriate to the solution type, including business effectiveness, usability, accuracy, precision and recall where applicable, groundedness, bias, drift, failure handling, human oversight, and escalation.
- Operational Readiness: Implement appropriate monitoring, feedback mechanisms, documentation, and support procedures.
- Sustainable Design: Consider maintainability, platform alignment, vendor dependencies, technical debt, and operational overhead in implementation decisions.
Adoption, Measurement, and Reuse - 10%
- User Enablement: Partner with Enablement Lead and business teams to provide guidance, demonstrations, training, and other support needed for effective adoption.
- Continuous Improvement: Gather usage information, user feedback, business results, and relevant platform or vendor changes to recommend improvements, simplification, scaling, replacement, or retirement.
- Knowledge Reuse: Create and share reusable configurations, workflow patterns, implementation documentation, and lessons learned.
