• Provide solution design leadership and architectural oversight for all AI initiatives, ensuring alignment with enterprise technology strategy.

• Evaluate emerging LLM capabilities and guide model selection, integration strategy, and implementation approach.

Engineering Leadership

• Provide technical guidance, oversight, training, and enablement to both specialized GenAI program developers and citizen developers/champions across the organization, ensuring high-quality implementation aligned with architectural standards.

• Provide architectural leadership and delivery oversight to cross-functional team members mobilized for GenAI projects, ensuring their work aligns with established patterns, standards, and governance requirements.

• Translate solution designs into clear engineering specifications and development plans.

• Oversee code quality, development workflows, testing strategies, and deployment processes.

• Ensure solutions include monitoring, auditability, fallback paths, and long-term maintainability.

Governance & Responsible AI

• Implement technical guardrails for secure data handling, privacy, PII isolation, logging, and responsible AI usage.

• Govern citizen-developer activity and ensure consistency with enterprise standards.

• Partner with Security, Privacy, Legal, and Data Governance to identify risks and ensure compliance.

• Participate in the enterprise AI governance framework, providing technical guidance and architectural assessments.

Cross-Functional Collaboration
