• Guide technical and business teams through the delivery of MVPs/pilots, aligning business intent, model behavior, and expected outcomes
• Embed responsible AI practices in client engagements, supporting governance across security, compliance, explainability, and risk management
• Produce executive-ready deliverables such as use case cards, decision notes, and AI roadmaps
• Contribute to the development of internal assets, methodologies, and reusable accelerators for the AI practice
• Support adoption and upskilling through stakeholder alignment, change management, and value tracking
