About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead an Agentic AI domain, owning how that domain maps to and enables the Group’s business priorities and outcomes.
Work with domain and business leaders to identify, frame, and prioritise Agentic AI opportunities and use cases, ensuring choices are grounded in commercial and operational reality.
Assess priorities across the full Agentic AI lifecycle, from inception and capability definition through build, deployment, adoption, and value realisation, identifying gaps and strengthening weak points.
Build and maintain a realistic, scalable domain roadmap, orchestrating work across business units, platforms, and enabling teams.
Translate business objectives into agentic and technical requirements, with sufficient understanding of data, integration, and system dependencies to make the strategy credible and executable.
Engage and influence senior stakeholders to secure alignment, resolve competing priorities, and agree clear OKRs—maintaining a single, coherent domain narrative across value, governance, platforms, skills, and change.
Define domain-level value outcomes and track realisation, ensuring Agentic AI initiatives remain outcome-led rather than activity-driven.
Drive operating-model change and business adoption, shaping how agents, teams, controls, and processes come together to make Agentic AI effective in practice.
Promote cross-functional collaboration and reuse across business domains and Agentic AI ecosystem, reducing duplication and accelerating scale.
Lead and develop a small team of strategy managers within the AI CoE, creating focus, delivery discipline, and synergy across Agentic AI domains.
