  • Identify opportunities to improve:
    • decision quality
    • speed
    • automation
    • insight generation
  • Lead targeted prototyping and experimentation where needed, ensuring alignment to business value and scalable outcomes
  • Embed AI capabilities into products as part of core delivery

Specialized SME Scope: AI for BI & Solution Architecture

  • Serve as the domain’s subject matter expert in AI‑driven business intelligence (AI4BI)
  • Lead the design and implementation of agentic workflows and intelligent decision systems, including:
    • exception detection
    • root‑cause analysis
    • workflow orchestration
    • insight generation
  • Act as a strategic solution architect within the domain, ensuring alignment between:

    • models and business logic
    • decision workflows and execution
  • Guide teams in evolving existing analytics solutions into scalable, AI‑enabled products
  • Share reusable patterns and approaches across teams where relevant, in alignment with portfolio leadership
