* AI Coordination and Adoption:
o Coordinate and track AI exploration efforts across Product Solutions.

o Monitor external trends and internal pilots to continuously evolve the PS AI agenda and execution roadmap.
* Governance & Reporting:
o Design and implement governance processes for tools and initiatives.
o Track progress, adoption, and outcomes, sharing results with senior stakeholders.
o Proactively identify risks and facilitate timely resolution with appropriate stakeholders.
* Strategic Connector:
o Serve as a liaison between Product Solutions teams, other value streams, and corporate functions including Technology, AI&D, OGC, Risk, and Compliance.

What You'll Bring:

* Minimum 7 years of experience in program management, strategy, product, or transformation roles.
* Proven ability to coordinate across functions and manage complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives.
* Strong communication, organizational, and analytical skills.
