Acting as a central coordination point, you will connect the AI Hub with our business divisions, Group Functions, GIS/IT, Product Owners, Transformation Leads and governance bodies. The role combines hands-on program management with the development of scalable processes, tools and ways of working. You will build visibility into how AI investments impact business outcomes, supporting leaders in making informed decisions on priorities, investments, and long-term direction.
Your main responsibilities include:
- Maintain the integrated AI Hub roadmap, coordinating milestones, dependencies, risks, decision points and progress against agreed priorities.
- Design governance structure, set success measures, and establish execution roadmap before launch.
- Own and continuously develop the AI Hub Value Realization Framework, establishing consistent principles and tools for identifying, tracking and reporting business value.
- Develop executive-level narratives and board-ready materials that translate complex analysis into decision-forcing stories on strategic priorities.
- Own the governance calendar and ensure key forums are supported by clear agendas, decision-relevant information, documented outcomes and consistent follow-up.
- Maintain and evolve a consolidated view of the AI portfolio, partnering closely with Product Owners and GIS/IT to synthesize delivery information, risks, dependencies and outcomes into clear reporting and actionable insights for different stakeholders.
- Strengthen direction and collaboration across business divisions, Group Functions and GIS/IT by clarifying responsibilities, working routines and cross-functional dependencies.

You will report to our VP of AI Value Acceleration.
About you:
You’re a structured, proactive and pragmatic program management professional who enjoys bringing clarity to complex, cross-functional environments. You combine strong attention to detail with the ability to see the bigger picture, and you are comfortable coordinating multiple initiatives, creating alignment and communicating with senior stakeholders.

- Structural and strategic thinking, with the ability to understand the bigger picture, synthesize complex information, and identify connections across teams, initiatives and priorities.
- Strong stakeholder management and ability to influence senior leaders and multidisciplinary teams without direct authority; comfort with ambiguity.
- Strong facilitation, presentation and written communication skills, with the ability to tailor messages and recommendations to different audiences.
- Capacity to design processes and frameworks that balance consistency, rigor and ease of use.
