• Lead an enterprise AI Enablement Council: Build and program manage a cross-functional council that integrates technology enablement, workforce transformation, and workforce upskilling; establish shared priorities, roadmaps, decision rights, dependencies, and measures of success to ensure coordinated execution and adoption across the organization.
• Drive measurable value realization: Define value cases and KPIs (e.g., cycle time reduction, quality improvements, productivity gains, cost avoidance, innovation throughput) and establish measurement and reporting mechanisms to track realization from delivery through sustained adoption.
• Establish program operating cadence and governance: Support and run executive steering forums, portfolio prioritization, decision logs, and risk/issue management; ensure clear roles and accountability across all functions, divisions and regions.
• Drive AI change enablement at scale: Design and execute adoption strategies across R&D and clinical/business workflows, including stakeholder mapping, communications, training, champion networks, feedback loops, and reinforcement plans to achieve sustained behavioral change toward AI-enabled decision-making.
• Support AI capabilities and organizational literacy: Lead team that develops and delivers capability-building programs tailored to key personas (for example, R&D engineers/scientists, clinicians, product/program leaders), covering AI fundamentals, practical application patterns, data stewardship, and governance expectations.
• Enable process improvement with AI: Identify, prioritize, and operationalize AI-enabled improvements to internal processes (e.g., value tracking, responsible AI process, metrics and scorecards); help redesign workflows for “AI-in-the-loop” execution with appropriate human review and controls.
• Define scalable delivery playbooks and operating model: Create reusable intake/triage, feasibility, validation, deployment readiness, and monitoring templates; establish standards for how teams propose, evaluate, govern, and deploy AI solutions consistently.
• Lead and govern strategic partnerships: Develop and manage strategic partnerships with AI vendors, consultants, health systems, and healthcare companies; define joint roadmaps, delivery models, success metrics, and partner governance, and hold partners accountable for outcomes.
• Serve as senior stakeholder influencer: Act as the primary point of contact and translator across technical, clinical, and business stakeholders; align executive leadership on objectives, tradeoffs, and investment decisions; drive timely decision-making and remove barriers to execution.
• Ensure risk-aware delivery in regulated environments: Embed regulatory, patient safety, privacy, cybersecurity, and Responsible AI considerations into program delivery; partner with Quality/Regulatory to ensure fit-for-purpose governance (e.g., SaMD-aligned design controls, documentation/traceability, validation expectations, monitoring plans) and audit-ready evidence generation.
