** Position Overview**:
** We are seeking an
** AI Operations & Enablement Lead
** to join our Marketing Center of Excellence (CoE). This is a unique, high-impact role that bridges the gap between abstract AI capabilities and real-world marketing execution. Operating as a centralized peer and partner to our regional brands and business units, you will be responsible for identifying high-value marketing use cases, prototyping and reviewing AI agent solutions, and physically deploying tactical automations that drive measurable efficiency.

While this role requires a master-level grasp of
** systems thinking
** and
** cross-functional program management
** to navigate our corporate architecture, it is fundamentally a
** scrappy, builder-first position**. You will not just recommend solutions—you will build, tweak, audit, and run them alongside our brand teams.
** At Brunswick, we have passion for our work and a distinct ability to deliver.

* Essential Functions:

* ** 1. Use Case Discovery & Solution Auditing (The Systems Thinker)**  +
** Triage & Backlog Management:
** Actively partner with brand and business teams to audit their current workflows, identify bottlenecks, and surface high-impact AI opportunities (e.g., automated content variation, localized ad ops, predictive lead scoring).  +
** Solution Review:
** Evaluate existing or vendor-proposed AI tools to ensure they integrate seamlessly with our current Mar Tech stack without fracturing data workflows or violating security guardrails.  +
** Feasibility Guardrails:
** Filter opportunities into distinct buckets: "Quick wins" (low-code automation), "Strategic builds" (partnering with Data Science), or "Not viable."  
** 2. Technical Prototyping & Agent Development (The Builder)**  +
** Rapid Prototyping:
** Build and test AI-driven agents and intelligent automation workflows using APIs and orchestration frameworks approved by Brunswick Corporation.  +
** Production Integration:
** Operationalize and inject these AI prototypes into our core marketing systems (e.g., Marketo, Salesforce, CMS, and dynamic creative platforms) to ensure a frictionless user experience for frontline marketers. Ensure every production workflow has a named business owner and review cadence.  +
** Performance Monitoring:
** Set up basic observability tracking to ensure deployed agents are accurate, cost-effective, and performing as intended without "hallucination drift."  +
** AI Governance:
** Partner with cross-functional teams to operationalize responsible-AI guardrails across all deployed agents including: tool/vendor intake reviews, data-handling and PII boundaries, prompt and output logging, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, and a documented kill-switch protocol for any agent that drifts out of tolerance.  
** 3. Tactical Deployment & Brand Enablement (The Program Manager)**  +
** Run Agile Sprints:
** Own the execution roadmap by managing 2-week agile sprint cycles to move AI solutions rapidly from ideation to active deployment within business units.  +
** Playbook Creation:
** Translate successful deployments into repeatable, documented playbooks, governance decision trees, and…
