Requirements

- Strong working knowledge of current AI tooling, agentic workflows, LLM capabilities, and how they fit into an enterprise data strategy.
- Proven ability to develop proof points and pilots through iterative phases, demonstrating value sequentially rather than betting on big-bang delivery.
