The Team:
We are seeking an execution-focused Internal AI Lead for Greater China to drive our regional AI strategy, governance, and adoption.
Operating in a unique geopolitical and technology landscape, you will bridge the gap between global strategy and local execution. Because our global AI standard platform (Anthropic Claude) is unavailable in China/Hong Kong, you will have the technical mandate to design, build, and implement our own regional AI platform and solutions. You will act as a champion for AI innovation, driving internal productivity, leading change management, and ensuring robust governance across all business lines.
How you will contribute:
- Regional AI Strategy & Execution: Develop AI strategy for the region, taking into consideration the regulatory and solutions options in each market (e.g. HK vs Mainland China). Design and implement a robust, flexible, localized AI ecosystem for Greater China. You will lead the hands-on deployment of alternative regional LLM solutions (e.g., Alibaba Qwen, Moonshot Kimi, GLM) while maintaining compatibility with A&M global frameworks.
- AI Governance & Compliance: Establish and enforce regional AI governance frameworks, ensuring compliance with evolving data privacy, security, and local AI regulations (including CAC guidelines in Mainland China and HK regulations).
- Business Integration & Productivity: Partner with diverse business units and service lines to identify high-impact use cases, deploying both custom regional models and application-level tools to drive massive productivity gains.
- Executive Leadership & Communication: Act as the primary liaison for A&M regional and global executives. Translate complex AI capabilities and regulatory constraints into clear, strategic business insights.
- Change Management, Learning & Adoption: Drive regional culture shift and practical literacy in AI. Design and deliver training programs to ensure high adoption rates of new AI tools across all team levels.
Qualification:
- Proven track record of building, fine-tuning, and delivering AI solutions at an infrastructure level (beyond use of AI solutions).
- Expert-level familiarity with the nuances, strengths, and deployment of both Chinese LLMs (Alibaba Qwen, Moonshot Kimi, Zhipu GLM) and US-based models (Google Gemini).
- Robust understanding of data residency, security protocols, and compliance landscapes in Mainland China and Hong Kong.
- Extensive experience presenting to, influencing, and aligning with C-suite and global executives.
- Proven ability to manage organizational change, scale technology adoption, and run regional training initiatives.
