Reviewing AI feature performance and monitoring data, adjusting as needed.
Collaborating with the Data Engineer, Business Analyst and Team Lead on priorities and technical approach.
Supporting AI Champions and other colleagues using self-service AI tools.
Contributing to documentation supporting responsible AI and governance practices.

Experience working with cloud infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and CI/CD practices to deliver scalable AI solutions.
Ability to work independently and thrive in a fast-paced, agile environment with minimal supervision.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts and trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.
