You will lead the delivery of sophisticated data platforms and AI-driven solutions—ranging from Snowflake-based data engineering to Generative AI POCs using advanced search and retrieval technologies like Glean.This is not a \"project coordinator\" role. We need a hands-on technical leader who understands the \"how\" of data movement and model implementation, ensuring that our delivery is as architecturally sound as it is on schedule.Key ResponsibilitiesTechnical Delivery & StrategyEnd-to-End Program Ownership: Lead the lifecycle of AI and Data projects from initial discovery and Proof of Concept (POC) to full-scale production implementation.Cross-Functional Alignment: Act as the primary translator between stakeholders (Clients/Product) and technical teams (Data Engineers/AI Researchers) to ensure technical feasibility matches business value.Architectural Fluency: Guide teams through the nuances of Snowflake's Data Cloud and AI integration patterns (e.g., RAG architecture, vector search, and enterprise search integration with tools like Glean).Agile Operations & ExecutionSprint Management: Own the Jira and Confluence ecosystem.
