About the Role

    In-Product AI Utilization & Feature Governance: 

    • Partnering with our Technology Strategy team in Marketing Ops, consult on the assessment of AI capabilities available in our existing technology stack and make recommendations on build/buy/usage Govern shadow AI: any AI feature activated outside this process is evaluated to determine if it should be integrated or deactivated
