Lead the Operations Decision Intelligence and AI Portfolio

• Partner with Operations and enterprise leaders to identify, define, and prioritize decisions where Decision Intelligence (DI), analytics, automation, or AI can materially improve business outcomes.
• Maintain a transparent portfolio and roadmap that balances strategic value, feasibility, data readiness, operational risk, time to value, and organizational capacity.
• Build business cases and define outcome measures tied to service, cost, working capital, quality, resilience, productivity, responsiveness, employee experience, and customer experience.
• Guide high-impact initiatives from discovery and prototyping through deployment, adoption, sustainment, benefit tracking, and scale.

Design Better Human and AI Decisions

• Map critical decision workflows, including signals, context, tradeoffs, decision rights, actions, outcomes, feedback, and failure modes.
• Determine when a person, AI system, or human-AI combination is best suited to perform the work or make the decision.
• Design fit-for-purpose controls for recommendations and automated actions, including approval, reversibility, escalation, monitoring, auditability, and accountable ownership.
• Use experiments, prototypes, and operational evidence to validate decision quality and workflow performance before scaling.

Serve as AI Champion for Operations

• Represent Operations needs, constraints, risks, and priorities in enterprise AI planning and governance processes.
• Translate operational problems into clear use cases, user needs, data requirements, decision requirements, and measurable success criteria.
• Ensure Operations deployments comply with enterprise standards for responsible AI, security, privacy, architecture, approved tools, and technical sustainment.
• Coordinate across Operations, data/intelligence center of excellence, IT, information product owners, analysts, data professionals, vendors, and other delivery partners to move solutions into reliable use.

Build an Operations Decision Intelligence & AI Network

• Identify and recruit subject-matter experts from Operations functions and facilities who can contribute part-time to DI/AI initiatives alongside their primary roles.
• Define contributor expectations, working methods, sponsorship, learning paths, and recognition in partnership with functional and plant leaders.
• Coach contributors in decision discovery, problem framing, experimentation, responsible tool use, adoption, and outcome measurement.
• Create a community that shares reusable patterns, lessons, prototypes, and success stories across Operations.

Teach and Lead Organizational Change

• Develop practical education for Operations leaders, practitioners, and contributors on Decision Intelligence, AI capabilities and limitations, responsible use, and human-AI collaboration.
• Facilitate cross-functional conversations that make tradeoffs explicit, establish clear decision ownership, and convert insights into action.
• Lead workflow and role redesign needed to embed new capabilities into daily management and operational processes.
• Use clear narratives and decision-focused communication to build understanding, sponsorship, trust, and sustained adoption.

Prototype, Learn, and Scale

• Use approved analytics, automation, generative AI, and prototyping tools to test concepts and demonstrate value without assuming responsibility for all production engineering.
• Work with technical partners to define production requirements, integration needs, controls, testing, deployment, and support models.
• Monitor usage, decision quality, operational outcomes, unintended effects, and user feedback after deployment.
• Stop, redesign, or scale initiatives based on evidence; capture lessons-learned so the operating model improves with each cycle.

Required

• Bachelor's degree required; Degree in Supply Chain, Operations Management, Engineering, Business, Analytics, Information Systems, or a related field preferred
