Core Responsibilities
AI Opportunity & Roadmap
Work with BU (Business Unit) leaders to identify and prioritise AI use cases based on commercial impact, customer experience, feasibility, and strategic fit.
Translate priorities into actionable roadmaps and help teams build the business cases to move forward.
Share successful approaches across BUs — when something works in one business, help others benefit from it.
Implementation Support
Act as the practical implementation partner when BUs are using AI tools and workflows to drive their AI initiatives from conception to deployment.
Guide and advise Business Units on cost efficient tool utilisation and synergy creation across the Group.
Identify and remove blockers — process friction, data gaps, change resistance — to keep projects moving from pilot to production.
Run AI pilots designed to generate transferable learnings and scalable outcomes.
Capability Building
Support BU’s AI Champions day-to-day with guidance, escalation paths, and access to Modaxo AI Center of Excellence resources.
Run practical trainings — especially prompt crafting and real-world AI use — to build skills at team level.
Help BU AI Champions grow into confident, independent leads so BUs don't rely on central support for every question.
Group Leader Partnership
Maintain a live group AI roadmap to define key themes and initiatives to be rolled out across all BUs.
Keep the Group Leader informed on progress, blockers, and decisions that need their input.
Make AI adoption a visible part of normal operational performance conversations.
Define AI Governance approach for the Group.

Understands the realities of running a Business Unit: Commercial pressures, imperfect systems, limited bandwidth. Practitioner mindset.
Fluent in English (written and spoken)
Willingness to travel — occasional business trips, primarily within LATAM but not exclusively.
Desirable
Experience in a multi-business group or divisional structure.
Familiarity with AI adoption or change frameworks (ADKAR, Kotter, etc.).
Modaxo or sector-relevant background.
Values & Mindset
Genuine belief that AI should work for people, not just the P&L, i.e.can hold the human dimension of transformation with the commercial/technicalone.
Curiosity about AI that is visible andcontagiousand rolemodels the learning mindset they are trying to build in others.
Low ego, energised by others' success, not own recognition.
Comfortable beinganoutsider to each BU,influential but not captured by any one business's perspective.
Honest and direct, able totell a Group Leader or BU leader something they don't want to hear, constructively.
