• Potentially take on product ownership responsibilities for specific AI initiatives, including defining product vision, managing the product backlog, and prioritising features.
• Familiarity with regulatory requirements and industry standards related to AI and data usage, ensuring compliance and best practices.

Skills & Experience:

• Tertiary qualification in a relevant field (e.g., Business, Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems).
• Demonstrated experience in business analysis, stakeholder management, and facilitation.
• A solid understanding of AI/ML concepts and technologies, including their potential applications in business. While not requiring hands-on coding expertise, a foundational knowledge of AI/ML is essential.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively communicate with both technical and non-technical audiences.   
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate business needs into actionable solutions.   
• Experience in developing business cases and ROI justifications.
• Experience working on transformational projects and a demonstrated ability to adapt to changing priorities and requirements.
• A passion for technology and its potential to transform business operations.
• Experience working within Agile methodologies (e.g., Scrum, Kanban).
