Artificial Intelligence

• Own the full AI engagement arc from discovery through sustained workflow adoption
• Drive requirements and delivery precision to track against plans and surface risks early
• Champion continuous quality through testing and feedback loops during AI engagements
• Hold the R&D feedback loop accountable to ensure field learnings flow back
• Build playbooks to identify reusable patterns and scalable frameworks for the team
• Own engagement economics and track cost structure across active engagements
• This is a field-first role with expected travel to partner locations

AI Engagement Manager

• Be the domain credibility of the pod. You know grocery retail and CPG — merchandising, supply chain, store ops, trade, e-commerce — well enough to walk into any room at any level and earn it immediately. As the pod scales, you'll deepen into a vertical and become Instacart's sharpest expert in that space.
• Get to the real problem. Embed with partner teams to identify where agentic AI will actually move the business — not just what's technically possible, but what will change how operators work day to day. Translate those problems into AI-solvable use cases the pod can build against.
• Lead discovery and requirements. Run structured workshops at partner sites, surface and prioritize the use case map, and turn field learnings into clear inputs for the pod and R&D. You're the bridge between what partners need and what gets built.
• Show, don't just tell. Lead hands-on demos and platform walkthroughs tailored to the partner's specific workflows — making abstract AI capability concrete and compelling in the room. The ability to demonstrate the art of the possible is as important as the ability to articulate it.
• Own adoption. Drive the change management that makes deployments stick — new operating cadences, workflow redesigns, user training. Success is measured by whether team behavior changes, not whether software ships.
• This is a field-first role. Travel is a core part of the job — expect to be on-site at partner locations regularly, potentially 50%+ of the time. If you do your best work embedded with a team rather than behind a desk, you'll thrive here.

• Design, implement, and continuously evolve the enterprise AI operating model, including governance forums, funding and intake processes, prioritization methods, and decision rights.
• Chair and run the Executive AI Steering Committee, ensuring disciplined decision making, clear accountability, and execution follow through; set agendas, align key stakeholders, and communicate decisions and actions clearly.
• Establish enterprise standards for responsible AI, data usage, security, privacy, and risk management in partnership with Legal, Cybersecurity, IT Architecture, HR, and Compliance.
• Own AI investment governance, ensuring alignment with capital planning, transformation funding, and enterprise portfolio priorities.
• Own the global AI use case portfolio and prioritization framework, balancing short term value delivery with long term strategic capability building.
• Ensure AI initiatives progress efficiently from ideation to pilot to scaled production—eliminating “pilot only” stagnation.
• Define, track, and report enterprise AI value metrics, including operational efficiency, cost reduction, quality improvement, risk mitigation, revenue enablement, and customer impact.
• Regularly recalibrate the AI roadmap based on realized outcomes, business performance, and evolving priorities.
• Orchestrate cross-functional delivery across IT, data, digital platforms, business units, and external partners—creating shared plans, clear ownership, and fast decisions.
• Resolve enterprise level dependencies and escalations impacting delivery, adoption, or value realization by facilitating trade-off discussions, aligning decision makers, and driving timely, documented outcomes.
• Ensure AI initiatives are integrated with core enterprise platforms (ERP, data environment, digital products) rather than delivered as isolated solutions.
• Build scalable execution playbooks, delivery standards, and reusable components to accelerate adoption across regions and functions.
• Partner with HR and Communications to lead enterprise-wide change management, AI literacy, and workforce enablement.
• Sponsor AI capability building, including training programs, citizen developer models, communities of practice, and leadership education.
• Drive cultural adoption by positioning AI as a core business capability embedded in how work gets done—not as a technology experiment.
• Support workforce transformation planning, including role evolution, ethical considerations, and future skills development.
• Build, lead, and develop a high performing enterprise AI organization with clear roles, succession, and career paths.
• Set performance expectations, accountability, and development plans for direct and indirect reports.
• Foster a strong culture of accountability, collaboration, and execution discipline across the AI ecosystem.

VP Enterprise AI Enablement

• Design and implement agentic AI architectures, including multi-agent workflows, tool-calling systems, memory and state management, and orchestration logic for complex multi-step tasks.
• Develop and evaluate retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, with attention to retrieval strategy, document chunking and indexing, embedding model selection, re-ranking, and end-to-end evaluation.
• Contribute to LLM evaluation and validation frameworks — defining test coverage, constructing evaluation datasets, assessing output reliability, and identifying failure modes through structured testing and adversarial analysis.
• Conduct prompt engineering and instruction design for domain-specific tasks, and support experimentation with parameter-efficient fine-tuning approaches where applicable.
• Perform model benchmarking and comparative analysis, including evaluation of commercial and open-source LLMs for specific task types, latency and cost tradeoffs, and domain adaptation requirements.
• Support integration of LLM and agentic components with broader system architectures, including data pipelines, APIs, and domain-specific tooling.
• Contribute to data preparation and preprocessing workflows for structured and unstructured industrial datasets, including cleaning, transformation, and schema design.
• Engage in the full engineering rigor expected of production AI/ML systems — including unit and integration testing, model verification and validation, experiment evaluation, simulation workflows, data and output visualization, and technical documentation and reporting — as continuous activities throughout the project lifecycle.
