Position Overview
As the Customer Care AI Programme Manager, you will be a key leader in transforming our customer experience through the strategic implementation of AI.

· Cross-functional Orchestration: Act as the central point of contact and coordination between the Customer Care, AI/Data, Product, and Engineering teams. Foster a collaborative environment, ensuring seamless communication, alignment on priorities, and rapid decision-making.
· 'Delivery Factory' Implementation: Establish and manage a standardized, evidence-based lifecycle for all AI initiatives, from ideation and testing to deployment and scaling. Implement a continuous improvement model to ensure the programme learns and adapts.
· Stakeholder Management & Communication: Prepare and deliver strategic briefings, presentations, and updates for a wide range of stakeholders, including executive leadership. Represent the Customer Care AI Programme in cross-functional meetings and forums.
· Performance Measurement & Reporting: Implement and manage a standardized, automated measurement framework to track the performance of all AI initiatives. Provide regular, data-driven reports on the programme's progress and impact on key business metrics (e.g., CSAT, cost savings, agent productivity).
· Change Management & Enablement: Lead the change management efforts associated with the rollout of new AI capabilities and processes. Ensure that all necessary training, documentation, and support are in place to drive successful adoption.
Ideal Profile:
· Proven experience in programme and project management, with a track record of successfully delivering complex, cross-functional initiatives.
