Talenza has been retained to appoint a Senior Manager, AI Adoption & Delivery Optimisation for a large Australian organisation undertaking a significant investment in AI adoption, organisational capability and transformation effectiveness.

This is a rare opportunity to help shape how AI is embedded across a complex enterprise, moving beyond experimentation to drive meaningful business outcomes at scale.
