• Support training sessions, workshops, and working sessions that help OpCo teams build stronger capabilities in AI, ML, and data infrastructure
• Help establish repeatable patterns, playbooks, and best practices for building and deploying AI/ML and data solutions across multiple companies
• Collaborate closely with portfolio leadership, product stakeholders, and engineering teams to identify where AI, ML, and better data infrastructure can drive measurable impact
• Own the full delivery lifecycle from scoping through production handoff, including structured knowledge transfer that leaves teams capable of owning and extending what was built

Who You Are

• Understanding of fine tuning an LLM and strong understanding of inference economics and good judgment about when it’s better to use a frontier model or fine tune a smaller or open source model
• Experience with developing solutions to reliably perform forecasting of various metrics (such as: sales projections, budget forecasts, resource consumption, demand forecasting, capacity planning, etc)
• Experience translating business problems and data opportunities into practical AI/ML solutions
• Knowledge of modern data architecture and best practices across ingestion, transformation, governance, quality, and access
• Strong judgment around model performance, system reliability, security, and maintainability in production environments
