Prepare for full implementation work following the event. - Identify initial opportunities that can support the company's broader AI adoption roadmap. ## Qualifications ### Experience - Has proven experience implementing AI tools, automations, and workflows within a business environment, with senior-level experience strongly preferred. -

At least one measurable automation is launched that improves operational capacity and reduces manual workload. - Reporting is established to measure the impact and effectiveness of AI-powered workflows. -
