GAIBiz accelerates GenAI adoption and opportunity identification across the firm by providing a commercial, human-centered perspective that complements technology and markets expertise. This role will support leadership on GenAI investments and priorities with rigorous, data-driven insights, while getting the chance to collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders, help build the team and function within the company, and foster a culture of innovation and responsible AI adoption in a thoughtful and engaging environment.

What you’ll do day-to-day

• Quantify the business value of current and emerging technologies, products and end-to-end services, as well as new GenAI initiatives by forecasting ROI, tracking performance metrics, and building benchmarking dashboards across business units.
