In this role, you will partner with teams across the diverse geographies and industries. Harris International group serves to identify impactful AI opportunities, guide implementation, and promote responsible AI practices. You will be a trusted advisor to both business and technical stakeholders — facilitating innovation, education, and cross-pollination of best practices. While your focus will be strategic and enablement-driven, you’ll also be ready to roll up your sleeves when needed to co-develop prototypes, validate ideas, or accelerate early-stage initiatives. This role blends thought leadership with practical contribution, empowering our organization to embrace AI with confidence and clarity, while staying ahead of emerging trends in AI architectures and integration protocols.

What will be your new role:

• Collaborate with each business unit to identify high-impact AI use cases aligned with business goals and customer needs as part of the Vanguard AI specialists’ team.
• Provide guidance and support to business units working in cross-functional teams to implement AI solutions.
• Run hands-on to early-stage initiatives, proof-of-concepts and first of a kind project to validate feasibility, unblock teams, or accelerate product development.
• Provide education and enablement to specialists and teams in Harris International around the use of AI in product development and deployment.
• Advise on AI pilots and initiatives to demonstrate value and encourage adoption.
• Facilitate workshops, lunch-and-learns, and best practice sharing across business units.
• Educate stakeholders on AI capabilities, limitations, and ethical considerations.
• Champion responsible AI principles, including fairness, transparency, privacy, and accountability.
• Act as a connector between business and technical teams to translate ideas into executable projects.
• Continuously track emerging AI trends, architectures, and integration protocols (e.g., MCP, A2A) and translate these into practical insights for the organization.

What are we looking for:

• Proven experience leading or influencing initiatives across product, business, or technical domains.
• Ability to balance strategic enablement with frequent hands-on technical support.
• Familiarity with AI platforms such as Azure AI Foundry, Google AI Studio, OpenAI, Anthropic and Hugging Face, or at least curiosity to learn them and others.
• Strong understanding of core AI concepts, including large language models, ML workflows, and prompt engineering.
• Demonstrated awareness of AI architectural patterns and emerging integration standards such as Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol.
• Excellent communication skills — able to convey technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
• Experience managing or supporting projects within a matrixed or decentralized organization.
• Awareness of data governance, responsible AI principles, and regulatory considerations.

What will make you stand out:

• Demonstrated ability to contribute directly to AI proofs-of-concept (e.g., building a simple ML model, prompt testing, using APIs).
• Past experience bridging business and technical teams, particularly in multi-unit or multi-national settings.
• Thought leadership experience — blogs, talks, or internal knowledge-sharing on AI adoption.
• Experience with AI product strategy or technical product management.
• Familiarity with change management, innovation frameworks, or agile transformation in enterprise environments.
• Active engagement with the AI community and industry trends, including new tools, architectural models, and integration best practices.
