Orchestrate multi‑disciplinary squads (AI engineers, solution architects, data engineers, product owners, designers, risk & compliance) and third parties, ensuring alignment and effective collaboration.
Drive adoption of secure SDLC and MLOps/LLMOps practices across teams (branching strategy, environments, CI/CD, testing strategy, documentation, runbooks).
Ensure Responsible AI and regulatory compliance (AI Act readiness, GDPR, DORA, model risk management) in partnership with Risk, Legal, Security and Model Validation, and maintain audit‑ready documentation.
Plan and execute change management and enablement (training, communications, business readiness), maximizing user adoption and value realization.
Own the program backlog and roadmap; facilitate discovery, prioritization and sequencing of use cases; manage dependencies and critical paths across streams.
Support business development: contribute to proposals, estimations, statements of work, and case studies; represent EY in client meetings as a trusted delivery lead.

Proven command of Agile/Scaled Agile and hybrid delivery models; expert in backlog management, story mapping, and sprint/PI planning using Jira or Azure DevOps.

Fluency in delivery risk management and value realization (benefits tracking, OKRs, ROI).
Familiarity with Responsible AI frameworks and model governance (NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001) and with EU regulatory context (AI Act, GDPR, DORA).
Fluent in Dutch or French and a business proficiency in English.
Can we dream for more?
