Shape the future of AI at Campari Group
At Campari Group, we’re entering a defining decade — powered by data, intelligence, and bold ambition. We’re looking for a  Global AI Director  to lead our enterprise-wide AI transformation and turn cutting-edge technology into real business impact at scale.

This role will be based in Milan, at our Global HQ. It is more than a leadership role — it’s an opportunity to build, scale, and embed AI into the heart of a global organisation, influencing everything from supply chain to marketing, customer experiences, and beyond.

Your Impact
You’ll define how AI creates value across Campari!

We’re looking for a leader who doesn’t just understand AI, but knows how to turn it into something that actually works across a global organization — driving impact, adoption, and long‑term growth. This is a unique opportunity to define and lead our enterprise AI transformation: from strategy and governance, to real use cases that change how we operate, decide, and grow.

This is your chance to turn vision into reality and make AI a true competitive advantage. You’ll set the direction, but more importantly, you’ll make it happen.

You’ll shape the global AI agenda and decide where we focus — what gets built, what gets scaled, and what actually drives value. You’ll connect business priorities with technology and data, ensuring AI delivers outcomes that matter.

But this role doesn’t live in strategy decks.

You’ll work across the organisation — Marketing, Sales, Operations, HR, Finance — identifying where AI can change decisions, unlock efficiency, and improve customer outcomes.

And you’ll make sure those solutions are adopted, not just delivered.

What You’ll Do
Lead our Global AI Strategy
Own and evolve Campari’s enterprise AI vision, aligning innovation with business priorities and long‑term growth.

Build and Scale AI Across the Business
Identify high‑impact opportunities and scale AI use cases across operations, marketing, sales, HR, and finance — delivering tangible value globally.

Create a World-Class AI Ecosystem
Design and manage a portfolio of AI products, platforms, and reusable capabilities that enable speed, consistency, and scale.

Drive Cross-Functional Collaboration
Partner with teams across technology, data, and the business to deliver solutions that are robust, ethical, secure, and compliant.

Shape the Future of Work
Champion AI across the organisation — building capability, influencing leaders, and embedding AI into everyday decision‑making.

What Makes This Role Unique

Enterprise-wide influence at the highest level

Global scope across markets, functions, and cultures

End-to-end ownership from strategy through to execution

Close partnership with executive leadership

A genuine transformation mandate with real delivery expectations

What You’ll Bring
We’re looking for a strategic leader who can bridge business and technology:

Significant experience leading AI, data, or digital transformation at global scale

Proven ability to define enterprise AI strategy and scale impactful solutions

Strong leadership presence with the ability to influence senior stakeholders

Deep understanding of AI platforms, governance, and responsible AI

Ability to translate complex ideas into clear business value

Success in This Role Looks Like

AI is embedded in how decisions are made and how work gets done

High‑value use cases are scaled globally with clear measurable impact

Teams actively adopt and shape AI‑driven solutions

A strong governance model enables both innovation and accountability

Ultimately, success is…
