  • Contribute to reusable components and patterns for AI agent development, ensuring scalability and interoperability across service lines.
  • Training & Education

  • Design and deliver training programs for practitioners on AI literacy, prompt engineering, and agent-building fundamentals.
  • Facilitate hackathons and hands-on sessions to accelerate learning and adoption of AI tools.
  • Collaborate with Learning & Development to embed AI capability pathways into firm-wide learning programs.
  • AI Agent Development Support

  • Guide service lines in identifying high-value workflows for AI enablement and assist in configuring or building agents within a governed environment.
  • Provide technical mentorship to practitioners working on Tier 1 and Tier 2 agents, ensuring adherence to BDO’s Responsible AI framework.
  • Monitor and report on adoption metrics, agent performance, and ROI to inform continuous improvement.

  • Familiarity with enterprise AI platforms (e.g., Microsoft Copilot Studio) and governance principles.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical audiences.
