• Establish appropriate frameworks for AI governance, risk management, security and ongoing performance monitoring
• Work closely with engineering, product and business teams to ensure successful implementation and adoption of new technologies
• Define commercial success measures, track performance and demonstrate the return on investment of transformation initiatives
• Lead client proposals, develop new business opportunities and contribute to strategic pitches and presentations
• Support the expansion of the consulting practice through proposition development, market engagement and thought leadership
• Recruit, mentor and develop talented individuals, fostering a collaborative environment focused on innovation and continuous improvement
