• Champion practical adoption of AI tools, methodologies, and ways of thinking across the RPD team and broader Product organization.
• Help establish an AI-driven product design approach that can serve as a repeatable blueprint for future product development.
• Provide strategic guidance on emerging AI practices and their application to product development and delivery.
• Transfer knowledge and build lasting internal capabilities around AI-enabled product practices.
