Please review the following job description:

The Head of AI Enablement is a senior technology leader responsible for designing and deploying enterprise-grade AI and GenAI solutions across Truist Protection Services. Reporting directly to the Chief Security Officer, this leader partners with business executives, product managers, and engineering teams to translate business requirements into scalable, production-ready AI applications that drive measurable value.

This role is hands-on and technically deep — blending engineering expertise in LLMs, agentic frameworks, and applied ML with the ability to engage directly with business stakeholders. The ideal candidate has built and deployed AI platforms or intelligent products in a technology-first environment, demonstrating fluency in system design, data architecture, and model integration.

Acting as both architect and catalyst, the Head of AI Engineering & Enablement leads cross-functional squads to develop prototypes, operationalize AI agents, and integrate cognitive capabilities into existing business platforms. They ensure solutions are built with security, ethics, and performance at scale, while establishing engineering patterns that accelerate adoption across all LOBs.

This role requires a rare combination of technical acumen, strategic agility, and executive presence—someone who can earn credibility with engineers and inspire confidence from business leaders. Candidates from technology or product companies are strongly preferred; those from financial services must demonstrate equivalent experience delivering engineered AI products, not program oversight.
