- Ability to lead a small international and interdisciplinary team, providing structure, prioritization, and orientation across technical and business-oriented work streams.
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to bring together perspectives from business, technology, legal, security, and data protection – from management to operational implementation teams.
- Practical confidence in using modern generative AI tools and assistants, such as Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, or Claude, and their meaningful use in a corporate context.
- Good understanding of enterprise AI architectures and deployment models, including cloud-based LLM services vs. self-hosted open-weight models, RAG and knowledge base systems, AI agents, and workflow automation, as well as their respective impacts on data protection, security, and costs.
