Role OverviewAs an Applied AI Lead, you will be responsible for discovering real work, breaking it down into clear units, shipping it, and making the system smarter. You will work with practitioners to surface the actual step-by-step process beneath a vague request, decompose the work into small units, identify where AI fits and where it doesn't, and wire each step to a real source of truth. You will own pilots from first conversation to production hand-off and train a local owner and deputize champions so capability spreads without adding headcount.
