This position involves direct collaboration with various teams to identify, test, and scale high-value AI use cases that can lead to substantial improvements in operational efficiency and effectiveness. The Specialist will manage a pipeline of AI opportunities, working closely with internal functions such as Finance, Supply Chain, and Human Resources to ensure that AI tools are effectively utilized and translate into tangible benefits for the organization.

Coordination with cross-functional teams is essential to align on development, deployment, and support, while monitoring outcomes and performance against defined success criteria such as efficiency gains and adoption rates.
