  • Ensure platform scalability, modularity, and extensibility across multiple use cases.
  • Lead decisions on architecture, tooling, integration patterns, and data pipelines.

Direct cross-functional product and technical teams
  • Lead teams across product management, engineering, knowledge engineering, design, data science/ML, and industry specialists.
  • Establish OKRs, sprint structures, and delivery governance to ensure predictable, high-quality execution.
  • Coach teams to operate with clarity, pace, and technical rigor.

Partner with senior executives and enterprise stakeholders
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to client executives and internal leaders on AI strategy, product direction, and deployment models.
  • Align product build with enterprise architecture, security, data governance, and compliance requirements.
  • Support investment decisions with clear business cases, milestones, and measurable value.

Ensure Responsible AI and regulatory compliance
  • Embed Responsible AI principles-including transparency, fairness, bias mitigation, and auditability-into product design.
  • Partner with risk, legal, compliance, and cybersecurity to ensure the product meets all regulatory and policy requirements.
