In this role, you’ll make an impact in the following ways:

• Support AI Hub strategy development by converting enterprise priorities into defined strategic themes, use cases, roadmaps, milestones, and execution plans.
• Work with business and technology stakeholders to understand workflows, pain points, decision gaps, and operating inefficiencies that could be addressed through AI, GenAI, automation, analytics, or data-enabled solutions.
• Structure ambiguous AI opportunities into clear problem statements, value hypotheses, target outcomes, scope, dependencies, risks, and recommended next steps.
• Develop use cases and business cases that assess business value, implementation cost, technical feasibility, control requirements, adoption potential, and delivery complexity.
• Define KPIs, OKRs, adoption measures, benefit-tracking approaches, and performance reporting to connect AI initiatives to measurable business outcomes.
• Support strategy for AI-enabled platforms, digital employees, knowledge capabilities, workflow automation, process reimagination, and continuous intelligence.
• Conduct market research, peer benchmarking, internal discovery, and emerging-technology analysis to inform AI Hub priorities and strategic recommendations.
• Create concise executive presentations, decision memos, portfolio updates, dashboards, and recommendations for senior leadership.
• Partner with Product, Engineering, Data, Operations, Risk, Governance, Finance, and business teams to align strategy with feasibility, controls, funding, and execution capacity.
• Maintain portfolio-level visibility across initiatives, including priorities, milestones, value commitments, dependencies, risks, decisions, and leadership actions.
• Support governance and adoption readiness by incorporating data availability, responsible AI expectations, human oversight, change management, and control requirements.
• Independently lead discrete strategy workstreams while operating within the broader direction and priorities established by AI Hub leadership. 

To be successful in this role, we’re seeking the following:

• Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or Master’s degree preferred (Strategy, Business, Analytics, Computer Science, or related fields).
• 6-10+ years of experience in strategy consulting, corporate strategy, transformation, product strategy, or analytics/AI strategy within large enterprises (financial services a plus).
