  4. Collaborate with HR functional teams and centers of excellence (COEs) (Talent Acquisition, Total Rewards, L&D, HR Operations) to coordinate cross-functional workstreams and translate business needs into technical requirements
  5. Champion the adoption of AI tools and workflows within the People function, identifying opportunities to embed AI into HR processes, and lead structured pilots from evaluation to scale
