How you will do it
Advanced Analytics, LLMs & Modeling
Design and implement advanced machine learning models including deep learning, time-series forecasting, recommendation engines, and LLM-based solutions (e.g., GPT, LLaMA, Claude).
Develop use cases around enterprise search, document summarization, conversational AI, and automated knowledge retrieval using large language models.
Fine-tune or prompt-engineer foundation models (e.g., OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Hugging Face) for domain-specific applications.
Evaluate and optimize LLM performance, latency, cost-effectiveness, and hallucination mitigation strategies for production use.
Data Strategy & Engineering Collaboration
Work closely with data and ML engineering teams to integrate LLM-powered applications into scalable, secure, and reliable pipelines.
Contribute to the development of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architectures using vector databases (e.g., FAISS, Azure Cognitive Search).
Support the deployment of models using MLOps principles, ensuring robust monitoring and lifecycle management.
Business Impact & AI Strategy
Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to identify opportunities for applying LLMs and generative AI to solve complex business challenges.
Lead workshops or proofs-of-concept to demonstrate value of LLM use cases across business units.
Translate complex model outputs, including those from LLMs, into clear insights and decision support tools for non-technical audiences.
Thought Leadership & Mentorship
Act as an internal thought leader on AI and LLM innovation, keeping JCI at the forefront of industry advancements.
Mentor and upskill AI engineering team members in advanced AI techniques, including transformer models and generative AI frameworks.
Contribute to strategic roadmaps for generative AI and model governance within the enterprise.
