• Define and own AI product roadmaps for client engagements, including use case prioritization, MVP definition and iteration, and success metrics and adoption measures.
• Lead the full AI project lifecycle, including discovery and feasibility, data readiness assessment, model development and validation, and deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
• Engage directly with client stakeholders to explain trade‑offs, risks, and design decisions in business terms, acting as the senior technical authority on AI engagements.
