Working closely with business stakeholders, the Director will facilitate AI discovery workshops, prioritise use cases, develop implementation roadmaps, and oversee organisational change initiatives that support successful AI adoption.
The Director will also supervise the Business AI Consultants, ensuring consistent engagement across all subsidiaries while maintaining a strong focus on business outcomes, operational improvement, and return on investment.
Candidate Profile
Candidates should possess significant experience leading business transformation, operational excellence, digital transformation, or enterprise consulting initiatives within large organisations.
Strong commercial understanding, stakeholder engagement skills, change management capability, and experience working across multiple business functions are essential.
