Position Objectives
Lead the design, development, and deployment of AI-driven solutions and digital platforms within Enterprise Technologies, acting as a commercially strong program analyst with solid BI delivery skills and sufficient AI literacy to govern, assess, and guide AI initiatives.
The role spans three integrated functions with Commercial & Procurement as the primary focus, BI & Reporting as the secondary, and AI Oversight as the tertiary supporting automation, governance, decision-making, and management visibility across ET initiatives.
Job Description & Responsibilities
- Lead the full lifecycle of procurement activities, including RFP/RFQ preparation, BOQ reviews, scope of work development, vendor evaluation frameworks, and contract recommendation.
- Prepare and own technical-commercial comparison reports and financial analysis to support vendor selection and contract award decisions.
- Interpret technical specifications and translate them into clear commercial and contractual terms in coordination with internal stakeholders.
- Ensure compliance with applicable procurement frameworks, including government and semi-government sourcing procedures (e.g. Etimad or equivalent).
- Support budget planning, cost forecasting, and expenditure monitoring across ET procurement activities, providing variance analysis and corrective recommendations.
- Design, develop, and maintain Power BI dashboards and executive reporting tools to provide real-time visibility into ET programs and initiatives.
- Own the continuous improvement of ET dashboards, ensuring visualisation clarity, data accuracy, and management-level reporting quality.
- Integrate data from multiple enterprise systems, databases, and APIs to ensure reliability and consistency of reporting.
- Support governance reporting and performance monitoring across ET initiatives, producing structured reports that drive decision-making rather than data display alone.
- Provide governance-oriented oversight of AI tools, platforms, and vendor AI solutions — assessing suitability, risk, and alignment without hands-on engineering responsibility.
- Identify AI and automation opportunities across ET initiatives, articulate them as structured use cases, and engage technical teams with clear requirements.
- Engage and align business, technical, financial, and executive stakeholders through structured reports, presentations, and cross-functional working sessions.
- Ensure transparency and documentation of procurement processes, reporting logic, and AI governance frameworks across all ET initiatives.
