Essential Functions- Embeds with business teams and process owners to understand how work moves end to end across people, processes, systems, data, decisions, controls, handoffs, and exception paths.
- Identifies high-value opportunities to reduce cognitive, context, coordination, execution, quality, or design burden.
- Determines whether AI, deterministic automation, data capability, reporting, process redesign, or human judgment is the appropriate response.
- Designs future-state workflows with clear ownership, human and AI responsibilities, review points, exception handling, data boundaries, system interactions, and control requirements.
- Designs, builds, and validates working AI-enabled solutions that combine agents, approved data, APIs, automation, reporting, workflow components, and human review into cohesive business capabilities.
- Develops agent instructions, system prompts, tool-use patterns, structured outputs, context and retrieval approaches, evaluation criteria, error handling, and escalation paths appropriate to the use case.
- Uses programming, scripting, agentic development workflows, APIs, approved platforms, and automation tools to build, inspect, test, debug, and refine solutions.
- Builds small, testable versions; validates them with domain experts and users; and iterates based on workflow fit, output quality, reliability, usability, adoption, and business value.
- Advances successful prototypes toward operational use by defining production-readiness requirements, runbooks, monitoring expectations, service ownership, permissions, support paths, change requirements, and control points with appropriate partners.
- Documents assumptions, decisions, limitations, risks, dependencies, evaluation results, support requirements, and handoff information so capabilities can be reviewed, maintained, supported, and reused.
- Measures outcomes such as reduced cycle time, fewer handoffs, less rework, improved consistency, stronger decision context, increased operating capacity, adoption, governance confidence, and reuse.
- Converts successful local solutions into reusable agents, modules, templates, data or context assets, playbooks, evaluation patterns, and service models that accelerate future work.
- Identifies when an AI-enabled approach is inappropriate and recommends deterministic process, data, reporting, automation, or human-owned alternatives.
- Escalates data, security, privacy, risk, compliance, governance, production, integration, or supportability concerns early and works with the appropriate owners to resolve or document them.
- Demonstrated ability to understand complex business processes, identify high-value improvement opportunities, and translate them into practical technology-enabled solutions.
- Experience designing, building, testing, and operationalizing AI-enabled workflows, agents, automations, applications, reporting, or decision-support capabilities.
- Working knowledge of agentic AI concepts, including instructions, tool use, structured outputs, contextual grounding, retrieval, human review, exception handling, orchestration, and evaluation.
- Proficiency with at least one modern programming or scripting language, such as Python, C#, JavaScript, or Type Script, with the ability to learn and apply new technologies quickly.
- Experience using agentic and command-line development workflows—including tools such as Git Hub Copilot and Codex-style coding agents—to plan, generate, inspect, test, debug, and refine solutions.
- Ability to direct coding agents through clear goals, context, constraints, acceptance criteria, and iterative review while maintaining human accountability for the resulting solution.
- Experience integrating systems and data through APIs, connectors, automation platforms, relational databases, analytical platforms, or event-driven patterns.
- Ability to build small, testable solutions, validate them directly with users, and iteratively improve reliability, usability, workflow fit, and measurable business value.
- Strong data fluency, including experience with structured and unstructured data, data models, reporting, analytics, and…
