  • Design the knowledge architecture that structures customer insights, brand voice, audience context, messaging frameworks, and campaign intelligence for real-time access by AI agents and content generation systems.

  • Identify and recommend high-impact opportunities where AI can improve content quality, consistency, speed, and strategic alignment
  • Establish governance guardrails, evaluation frameworks, and quality controls that ensure AI-generated content meets organizational standards while enabling scalable operating models
  • Serve as a thought leader and advisor on the future of AI-enabled content strategy, helping to shape organizational direction and investment decisions

  • Deep familiarity with content lifecycle management, content governance, and content quality evaluation frameworks
  • Experience in establishing measurement frameworks for AI effectiveness, content quality, and strategic alignment
  • Experience operating in large, matrixed organizations with shared ownership of technology platforms
