Lead AI Engineer, Business Acceleration at SGS

We're looking for an entrepreneurial AI leader to be the "tip of the spear" for AI adoption within one of our core countries. Your mission is to translate high-stakes business problems into tangible, AI-powered solutions that drive measurable P&L impact. As a Lead AI Engineer, you will own the AI agenda for your designated business area. You will partner directly with business leaders to identify opportunities, and then lead the hands-on design and development of solutions. You won't be starting from scratch; you will leverage the powerful platforms, tools, and "Lego Bricks" built by our central AI Hub. Your role is to be the master integrator and innovator, delivering value at speed and contributing your team's breakthroughs back to the global SGS ecosystem. What You'll Build and Own: • Business-Driven AI Strategy: Partner with P&L owners and subject matter experts to deeply understand their challenges. Co-develop a roadmap of high-value AI initiatives, from discovery and prototyping to full-scale deployment. • End-to-End Solution Delivery: Lead the hands-on development of AI-powered applications. This includes everything from data analysis and prompt engineering to building sophisticated agentic workflows that solve concrete business tasks. • Platform Leverage and Collaboration: Act as the primary technical partner to the central AI Hub. Master the use of our shared AI platform and reusable components to accelerate delivery. Provide critical feedback to shape the central roadmap. • Innovation and Contribution: Package successful solutions and novel techniques developed within your team into new, reusable "Lego Bricks" for the central library, amplifying your impact across the entire organization. • Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Serve as the senior AI expert for your business domain. Guide and mentor product engineers within your Accelerator Team, setting a high bar for technical excellence and rapid execution. • Own the Outcome: Take full ownership of your projects, from the initial business case through to successful delivery and handover, ensuring every solution is robust, scalable, and creates quantifiable value.
