About this opportunity

Ericsson is looking for a strategic, high-impact enterprise professional to join our global Data & AI program as AI Strategy & Portfolio Lead. Based in Plano, Texas, this high-visibility role combines AI architecture and solution expertise with transformation experience — connecting senior business stakeholders to compelling data and AI solutions and leading those solutions through delivery, adoption, and measurable impact. The role spans Support (HR, Finance, Sourcing, and Customer Support), Marketing, Product Development, and Network and Cloud domains, helping leaders translate strategic ambition into funded, executable change.

What you will do:

• Serve as a strategic, commercially-aware partner for senior business and technology leaders — translating ambiguous challenges into opportunities, roadmaps, and investment recommendations.
• Build a compelling enterprise narrative for data and AI; generate adoption of reusable capabilities, shared platforms, and common patterns.
• Lead or guide target-state architectures and end-to-end solution designs across data, AI, cloud, integration, security, governance, and operating models.
• Convert business needs into practical solution blueprints, MVPs, roadmaps, and value cases that balance feasibility, scalability, cost, risk, and user adoption.
• Oversee the full journey from opportunity identification through mobilization, delivery, adoption, and sustained value realization.
• Define and track measurable outcomes, benefits, adoption rates, spend, and delivery milestones — using evidence to refine priorities and scale what works.
• Own and prioritize the portfolio of data and AI initiatives; lead business case development, ROI/TCO modeling, and executive recommendations.
• Evaluate vendors, platforms, and strategic partners; develop practical commercial arrangements and sourcing recommendations.

The skills you bring:

• Demonstrated experience in enterprise architecture, solution architecture, technology strategy, product leadership, consulting, or large-scale transformation delivery.
• Strong track record shaping and delivering data, AI, automation, cloud, or digital transformation solutions across complex enterprise environments.
• Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders, facilitate difficult decisions, and build alignment without relying solely on formal authority.
• Practical understanding of data, cloud, AI, integration, security, responsible AI, and operating-model considerations — with enough technical depth to evaluate trade-offs.
• Strong commercial acumen: ROI/TCO modeling, investment prioritization, benefits realization, and build/buy/reuse decisions.
• Typically 10+ years of experience in consulting, architecture, technology, product, or enterprise transformation roles with regular senior-leader exposure.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience.
• AI is becoming core to how we build and deliver at Ericsson. We’re seeking talent who are ready to learn, adapt, and develop the skills needed to thrive in an AI-enabled future.
