About the role

  • Serve as the executive-facing Data & AI lead for priority accounts: frame business problems, shape hypotheses, define KPIs, and land value cases for AI/ML and agentic workflows.
  • Translate between C-suite objectives and technical plans (governance, security, model risk, data contracts, SLAs).
  • Co-own roadmaps that unify data foundations (ingest/model/serve), advanced analytics (forecasting/attribution/optimization), and GenAI (RAG/agents/tools) into a measurable value program.
  • Design pragmatic architectures for agentic systems (tool-use, retrieval, planning/evaluation loops) that integrate with modern data stacks and application surfaces.
  • Establish safe-by-default patterns: policy, PII handling, secret management, human-in-the-loop, evals/guardrails, cost/perf telemetry.
  • Guide build vs. buy vs. assemble decisions across cloud services and partner ecosystems (Azure/Databricks; GCP/Vertex/BigQuery).

Requirements

  • 10+ years in data/analytics/ML with 4+ years leading client-facing solution delivery; repeatedly trusted in executive rooms to land complex Data & AI programs.
  • Demonstrated depth across:
  • GenAI/Agentic: tool-calling, retrieval patterns, prompt orchestration, evals/guardrails, cost/perf ops.
  • ML/Advanced Analytics: experimental design, feature engineering, model selection, MLOps, monitoring.
  • Data Foundations: lakehouse patterns, ELT/ETL, streaming, orchestration, governance/lineage.
  • Hands-on familiarity with Azure + Databricks (Azure ML, Synapse/Fabric, Data Factory, Databricks Workflows/Model Serving) and/or GCP + Vertex/BigQuery (BigQuery, Dataflow, Vertex AI pipelines/endpoints).
  • Excellent communication: can convert complexity into crisp decisions; strong written narratives and visual solution storytelling.
  • Eligibility to work in Canada or the US; able to travel ~25–35% for key workshops, steering meetings, and go-lives.
Benefits
  • Flexibility, with remote and hybrid work options (country-dependent)
  • Career advancement, with international mobility and professional development programs
  • Learning and development, with access to cutting-edge tools, training and industry experts
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family, plus employer contributions to Health Savings Accounts
