· Be hands-on: prototype solutions, test AI and automation tools, and collaborate with developers on proof-of-concepts.

· Collaborate with architecture, platform, and data teams to align with firm standards and governance frameworks.

· Build and manage relationships with vendors and startups; evaluate solutions, conduct proofs-of-concept, and recommend paths forward.

· Present solution roadmaps, vendor recommendations, and outcomes to executive stakeholders.

· Partner with service-line leaders to identify, prioritize, and measure ROI for automation and AI opportunities.

· Oversee QA, testing, deployment, and documentation to ensure quality and consistency.

· Champion adoption through communication, training, and showcasing early wins across the firm.

· Stay current on emerging technologies (GenAI, RAG, workflow orchestration, ML, automation frameworks) and translate them into practical use cases.

Qualifications

· Experienced in leveraging AI based code tools to produce proof of concepts.
