Reporting to the VP, this leader will advance Zayo’s AI maturity, build a high-performing AI team, and partner with cross-functional stakeholders to deliver measurable business outcomes.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the research, evaluation, and implementation of large-scale AI models, including LLMs, transformer-based models, computer vision, and multimodal AI.
  • Design and deploy AI solutions for predictive analytics, intelligent automation, operational optimization, and real-time decision-making.
  • Oversee the end-to-end AI lifecycle, including data engineering, model development, testing, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
  • Build and optimize scalable AI infrastructure using cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, along with GPU and TPU-based distributed training environments.
  • Implement modern MLOps frameworks to support efficient model deployment, governance, observability, reliability, and performance monitoring.
  • Build, mentor, and lead a high-performing team of AI researchers, machine learning engineers, data engineers, and AI platform specialists.
  • Partner with engineering, network operations, product, data, security, compliance, and business teams to identify high-value AI use cases and ensure business alignment.
  • Establish responsible AI practices that address bias, fairness, transparency, model risk, security, and regulatory compliance.
  • Drive measurable business outcomes through AI-enabled improvements in efficiency, service reliability, customer experience, and operational decision-making.

Qualifications:

  • 10+ years of experience in AI, machine learning, data science, or advanced analytics, including hands-on experience building and deploying AI systems.
  • 5+ years of experience leading AI, machine learning, data science, or engineering teams.
  • Expertise in transformer-based models such as GPT, BERT, T5, LLMs, computer vision, and multimodal AI.
  • Hands-on experience with AI frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, and JAX.
  • Experience designing and deploying large-scale AI systems in production environments.
  • Strong knowledge of MLOps, model monitoring, CI/CD for ML, data pipelines, feature stores, and cloud-based AI infrastructure.
  • Experience with AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, as well as distributed training using GPUs or TPUs.
  • Demonstrated ability to translate business needs into AI strategies, technical roadmaps, and measurable outcomes.
  • Strong leadership, communication, stakeholder management, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
  • Knowledge of responsible AI, AI governance, model risk management, bias mitigation, and regulatory compliance.
