Senior Advisor, Generative AI Technology Adoption and Integration

The GEN AI Hub’s goal is to accelerate Desjardins General Insurance Group (DGIG)’s adoption of emerging generative AI technologies by acting as a centre of innovation, expertise and governance in compliance with Desjardins governance documents on those technologies. Its goal is to explore and anticipate technological trends to prepare the organization for the rapid development of AI tools, while supporting the cultural shift and operational transformation. It does this by developing the skills of our teams; industrializing practices (acceptance testing, frameworks, guides and AI agents) to ensure that uses of AI are replicable and scalable; creating a collaborative ecosystem via communities of practice, adoption pathways and workshops; and maximizing the value of generative AI technologies in business and IT processes, in alignment with the organizational strategy. As Senior Advisor, Generative AI Technology Adoption and Integration, you’ll play a key role in designing and developing practical solutions powered by generative AI. You’ll be required to write and structure effective prompts, configure, test and develop AI agents and specialized assistants, and contribute to the development of solutions in environments including Agent Builder, Copilot Studio, Cowork and other relevant tools. You’ll need to balance your technical skills with a strong ability to simplify complex information, provide training, and support users to make it easy for teams to adopt solutions sustainably and integrate them into their workflows. In other words, you’ll help transform the Hub’s ideas into usable, relevant solutions that are aligned with DGIG’s priorities. More specifically, you will be required to :

• Design and develop generative AI solutions tailored to business and technology needs, taking into account the context of use
• Define user journeys, operating rules, knowledge sources and validation mechanisms as needed to deploy reliable, high-performance solutions
• Document lessons learned, design choices and best practices to promote the reuse and scaling of solutions
