- Establish robust AI governance frameworks aligned with data privacy, responsible AI practices, and international regulatory baselines like the EU AI Act.

- Own the relationship with CX platform and AI technology providers, managing vendor performance, contract and commercial terms, product roadmap influence, and escalations, and evaluating vendor fit as the business evolves.
- Act as a hands-on AI advisor and stakeholder on self-service and cross-functional initiatives led by Product, IT, and Customer Journeys teams, ensuring AI strategy stays consistent and high-quality across the entire CX ecosystem, even where execution sits outside this team.
