• Together with the business functions, you identify where AI can make the greatest difference in processes, products, and services.
• You lead selected flagship projects from initial idea and business case through to production deployment - and measure their success.

• Several years of experience in digital or business transformation, with a proven track record of leading initiatives from strategy through production deployment and scaling.
