• Monitor emerging AI capabilities for sales and proposal development and support rapid validation efforts to inform scaling decisions.

• Help transition validated use cases into repeatable, platform-embedded capabilities by supporting integration into EEI's standard pursuit workflows and seller processes, including MEDDPICC pursuit methodologies and EEI value proposition frameworks.

• Coordinate execution across BD, Technology, and Delivery teams to accelerate deployment and adoption of these tools, and to maintain alignment across initiatives.

• Support enablement, adoption, and continuous improvement through training, communications, success measures, usage monitoring, CRM hygiene, and knowledge reuse practices.
