• Develop a comprehensive measurement strategy to track AI usage and adoption, producing dashboards and reports that deliver clear, actionable insights to senior leadership.
• Collaborate with data and technology teams to ensure the infrastructure needed to capture and analyse AI usage statistics is in place and fit for purpose.

• Applied knowledge of change management methodologies, with experience designing and delivering training and engagement strategies at programme scale.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to craft compelling narratives and content – including presentations, articles, and newsletters – for audiences from analyst to executive level.
• Demonstrated ability to influence and manage stakeholders at senior leadership level, coordinating across functions without direct authority to achieve shared outcomes.
• Self‑starter, proactive “can‑do” attitude, strong sense of ownership.
