Partner with product, engineering, development, QA, customer success, and business stakeholders to define problem statements, success metrics, implementation needs, and release readiness.
Collaborate closely with AI/ML engineering and development teams to support production model deployment, scaling, operationalization, and ongoing implementation activities.
Operate independently in a lean, highly collaborative team, driving initiatives end-to-end with limited oversight while balancing speed, quality, and production impact.
