Full Job Description

### Be the Engine Behind Datacom's AI Future Datacom is one of Asia-Pacific's leading technology companies, and we're building something genuinely exciting — an AI Centre of Enablement (AI CoE) designed to drive real, measurable impact across our business and our customers. We're looking for a **Programme Manager** who thrives at the intersection of strategy and delivery — someone who can take bold AI ideas and turn them into committed investments with hard benefits on the other side. This isn't a traditional PM role. This is the operational heartbeat of our AI CoE. ### What You'll Be Doing As the AI CoE Programme Manager, you'll be the connective tissue between AI strategy, delivery, and value realisation. You'll work closely with senior leaders, domain experts, and technical teams to ensure every AI initiative we commit to is prioritised, structured, governed, and delivered with commercial rigour. **Your key focus areas will include:** * **Use Case Prioritisation & Business Casing** — Taking prioritised AI use cases from our GM AI Strategy & Foresight and applying a deeper lens: materiality to Datacom, payback profile, reusability across our customer base, and market timing. You'll lead the business casing process end-to-end — sizing the opportunity, defining the commercial model, and building a credible benefits realisation plan. * **AI Use Case Backlog Ownership** — Maintaining the single source of truth for all AI use cases across Datacom. You'll apply consistent filtering criteria, track status, scoring, ownership, dependencies, and benefits — keeping the backlog sharp, focused, and visible to the AI Council, GLT, and service line GMs. * **Programme Governance & Delivery Oversight** — Routing approved use cases to the right delivery vehicle (AI Lab, Tech Foundations, or service lines), running a disciplined cadence across delivery streams, and tracking benefits realisation back to business cases. You'll coordinate the critical seam between Lab proof points and
