About the role
The AI Strategy Lead strengthens Securitas’ ability to scale AI adoption and progress strategic bets by enabling the technical capabilities, federated execution structures and technology recommendations needed across the organization.
The role acts as a bridge between business and technology, translating external AI technology developments and internal business needs into practical capability priorities, tooling recommendations and strategic innovation input. It combines strategic thinking with hands-on enablement, ensuring that AI and innovation is not run as individual initiatives solely but is supported by a scalable system of people, processes and technology.
The role requires strong technical credibility and understanding of end-to-end AI product development. This expertise is used to challenge assumptions, guide better decisions, support federated AI and innovation contributors, advise on GenAI and agentic tooling, and help the AI Impact Hub become a stronger capability multiplier for both broad adoption and high impact innovation.

4. Drive GenAI and agentic capability recommendations
