AI and Data Strategy Manager

Several disruptive forces are creating opportunities and mandates to leverage AI for breakthrough levels of business performance and risk mitigation. Shifting customer preferences (e.g. personalization and localization), advancements in science & technology (e.g. new data sources and inexpensive big data), and market factors (e.g. blurred industry boundaries) are pressuring companies to rethink the value of AI and data.

Monitor Deloitte's AI and Data Strategy market offering helps our clients navigate these disruptive forces to deliver shareholder value. We imagine how AI will drive the most important actions and decisions a company must make to win, working directly with C-suite leaders to craft their AI strategy. We then work with client leaders to design and deliver the AI products, operating model, and capabilities required to deliver on their strategy.

Work you'll do

You will lead a team and advise clients as you assess the catalysts that trigger our client's AI ambition, provide leading outside-in perspective and inspiration as to how AI can drive shareholder value, design products, and assess talent and infrastructure readiness.

Manager lever responsibilities include: identifying and prioritizing AI and data opportunities to drive both growth and efficiency, defining and modeling the AI business case, defining how to monetize data assets, developing the AI roadmap, identifying talent and technology gaps, and defining changes to roles and incentives to maximize adoption of data and AI driven insights. You will be expected to implement and oversee the quality of deliverables and effectively manage the team and day-to-day relationships to ensure exceptional performance. Managers also participate in the development and presentation of proposals for business development activities. You will have the opportunity to lead small engagements or components of large, complex engagements.

The Team

The AI & Data Strategy market offering is the 'tip of the spear' for AI driven transformations and partners with several other market offerings to deliver.
