The Work

AI Strategy & Roadmap — Define and own EDGE's AI capability roadmap, aligned to GTM priorities and delivery realities.
Tooling Identification & Embedding — Evaluate, pilot, and scale AI tools across pre-sales, solutioning, and delivery workflows.
Operational Performance — Drive quantifiable efficiency outcomes: reduced pursuit costs, faster time-to-value, improved margins.
