You will:

Lead design workshops with clients to define custom AI solutions
Scope new AI application use cases across government entities, and turn them into a clear roadmap, phasing, and success metrics
Build MVPs and demos to validate ideas quickly, and take the best of them to production
Lead cross-functional development with diverse stakeholders (Engineering, MLE, Operations, and Go-to-Market)
