Lead technical vendor security reviews for new AI tools and connectors. What Success Looks Like: First 6 months Ship 3 or more production AI use cases with documented hours saved. Define reusable MCP and Power Automate integration patterns that scale across properties and publish them as DLC standards. Track adoption metrics and report them monthly to the VP of AI. Publish DLC's AI reference architecture and engineering standards, applied to all new AI builds. Deliver the technical portion of DLC's 1-year and 3-year AI roadmap jointly with the VP of AI.
