Position Summary :

The AI Solutions Lead will be responsible for identifying high-impact opportunities for Artificial Intelligence across the organisation and driving real-world implementation through collaboration with third-party experts and internal coordination.

Key Responsibilities :

1. Identify High-Value Use Cases

  • Walk the floor, engage teams, and map workflows to determine where AI can unlock productivity, business insights, or automation and competitive advantages.

  • 3. Engage the Right Expertise

  • Scout, evaluate, and collaborate with third-party AI vendors, domain experts, and technology providers.
  • Serve as the internal project lead — translating business needs to external providers and ensuring delivery stays aligned with outcomes.
  • You don’t build the tech — you guide the vision, manage the outcomes, and ensure it solves the right problem.
  • 4. Lead Implementation & Change

  • Coordinate implementation efforts across business units and external partners.
  • Define success metrics, monitor progress, and remove roadblocks to execution.
  • Develop and lead training efforts to build awareness and capability around the new tools or workflows.
  • 5. Promote Innovation Across the Organization

  • Host workshops, lead internal demonstrations, and empower teams to think differently.
  • Help build a culture that is open to experimentation and continuous improvement.

  • Able to influence across technical and business domains.
  • Has strong business instincts.
  • Naturally curious, hands-on, and relentless about solving real problems.
  • Not afraid of technology, but more focused on what it enables rather than how it works under the hood.
  • Attention to detail and accuracy in work
  • Ability to handle confidential information with discretion.
  • Excellent organizational and multitasking abilities.
  • Outstanding organisational and time management skills
  • Willingness to travel internationally
  • Nice to Have (But Not Required) :

  • Familiarity with AI / ML applications in operations or manufacturing.
  • Experience working with technology vendors, solution providers, or consultants.
  • Exposure to innovation frameworks like Lean, Six Sigma, Design Thinking, or Agile.
  • Remuneration :

    We offer a highly competitive remuneration package.
