Collaboration & Thought Leadership * Partner with AI builders, product teams, IT, and security to align enablement efforts with platform capabilities, governance, and roadmap priorities. * Prepare and deliver high-quality internal and external communications, including presentations, reports, demos, and stakeholder updates. * Stay current on emerging generative AI tools, enterprise adoption patterns, and best practices. * Help shape DPR's long-term AI enablement and workforce maturity strategy.
