Data & AI Literacy SME

prosource.it is supporting the search for an experienced Data & AI Literacy SME to support a key strategic initiative focused on developing organisational data and AI capability. This role is suited to someone who can take ownership of the end-to-end sourcing and selection process for a strategic delivery partner. Working closely with programme stakeholders, commercial teams and procurement colleagues, you will help translate Data & AI literacy ambitions into a clear scope, supplier requirements and tender process, ultimately identifying the partner best positioned to deliver the organisation's vision.
