Geplaatst in:Over deze vacature
Drive AI transformation by developing and delivering AI use cases across multiple business and technical domains.
The Role: Where AI Strategy Meets Execution
This role sits within the Intelligent Transformation Office, a central function driving AI adoption across the organization.
You won’t be managing a single project.
You will operate in a landscape of ~180 high-complexity AI and data initiatives, where prioritization, alignment, and execution determine real business impact.
This is a high-leverage position focused on:
- Turning ambiguity into structured AI opportunities
- Deciding what gets built—and what doesn’t
- Ensuring solutions actually land in operations
What Makes This Role Different
Most AI roles focus on building models.
This one focuses on making AI work inside a complex enterprise.
You will:
- Prioritize under pressure
- Navigate a large pipeline of AI use cases and determine where to invest for maximum impact
- Operate at the intersection of business and engineering
- Challenge assumptions, align stakeholders, and drive decisions across both domains
- Drive adoption, not just delivery
- Ensure AI solutions are embedded in real processes—not left as pilots or dashboards
- Translate complexity into execution
- Convert business problems into actionable AI use cases and guide them through delivery
- Embed responsible AI
- Integrate governance, compliance, and risk considerations into programs without slowing innovation
Key Responsibilities
Engage with senior stakeholders to understand strategic roadmaps and translate them into AI opportunities
- Evaluate and prioritize use cases based on value, feasibility, risk, and organizational readiness
- Consolidate overlapping initiatives into structured, scalable programs
- Drive delivery of AI use cases in collaboration with technical experts and domain teams
- Represent the Intelligent Transformation Office and accelerate new ways of working
