Key responsibilities & impact

Lead end-to-end planning and execution to onboard, integrate, and scale enterprise AI tools into our existing technology stack
Manage technical relationships with third-party AI vendors, holding partners strictly accountable to technical commitments, delivery timelines, and security baselines
Partner with engineering teams to oversee cloud infrastructure delivery in AWS, ensuring robust VPC configuration, identity federation, and multi-AZ architectures
Architect and enforce programmatic transitions that allow Proof of Concept (PoC) environments to systematically harden into production environments without requiring complete rebuilds
Drive Identity & Access Management (IAM) governance, establishing strict frameworks for non-human identities, service account governance, and least-privilege scoping across all AI tools
Act as the primary bridge between engineering teams and InfoSec, managing security and compliance gates as hard, non-negotiable delivery requirements
Maintain absolute program discipline using Jira and Confluence to track complex dependencies, milestones, and deliverables
Own the program's RAID log (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies), translating complex technical blockers into clear risk-mitigation strategies suitable for Steering Committee (SteerCo) visibility
Manage communication and alignment across senior technical architects and business leadership.
