• Recruit, support and grow a network of AI champions across head office departments who help colleagues adopt these tools

• Provide training content, demonstrations and subject matter expertise to support rollouts led by the Business Implementation Team

• Support solutions after launch, acting as the point of escalation for issues and improving them based on how people use them

Risk & Compliance

• Apply firm policy on data handling, privacy, records and supervision to every solution built

• Partner with compliance, risk and legal to complete Privacy Impact Assessment before solution is live

Measure & Evolve

• Track usage, time saved, run cost and the business outcome behind each solution delivered, and report results to management and stakeholders

• Work with AI vendors and platform providers to test new and preview capabilities, feed the firm's needs back into their roadmaps, and resolve issues affecting our users
