  • Ensure solutions are delivered consistently with defined objectives, timelines, success criteria, and stakeholder accountability
  • Bridges strategy and execution across initiatives to maximize efficiency and chance of achieving business goals
  • Coordinate dependencies across portfolio management, operational teams, IT, security, legal, procurement, and finance
  • Manage pilot lifecycle activities from initiation through operational handoff or closure
  • Pro-actively develop and drive program delivery improvement

Vendor & Third-Party Engagement Management
  • Oversee third-party AI vendor engagements, pilot coordination activities, and implementation timelines
  • Monitor vendor deliverables, pilot performance, and adherence to enterprise standards and expectations
  • Manage external partner relationships to ensure accountability and alignment with organizational objectives

Governance, Metrics & Operational Outcomes
  • Track pilot performance metrics, KPIs, adoption indicators, operational outcomes, and value realization measures
  • Partner with operators and clinical informaticists to evaluate workflow impact, user adoption, and measurable business outcomes
  • Develop dashboards and executive reporting mechanisms to communicate pilot progress, risks, outcomes, and scalability recommendations
  • Ensure pilots have clearly defined success criteria, measurable outcomes, and post-pilot evaluation processes

Adoption & Change Enablement
  • Support organizational readiness and adoption planning for AI-enabled workflows and solutions
  • Identify operational barriers, change impacts, and stakeholder concerns related to AI implementations
  • Promote standardized processes and enterprise consistency in how AI pilots are introduced, managed, and evaluated
  • Help establish sustainable operational models for successful pilots transitioning into broader deployment
