Job Description:
Description The Vice President, AI Technology leads the GenAI
Studio’s core technology strategy and execution—turning hospitality
data into secure, scalable AI capabilities that improve guest
experience and operational performance. This executive is
accountable for delivering enterprise GenAI platform components
(e.g., hybrid RAG, knowledge graphs, memory systems, and
agent-orchestrated workflows) with rigorous standards for privacy,
security, reliability, Responsible AI, and cost governance.
Partnering closely with Data & Analytics and cross-functional
technology and business leaders, the VP sets the platform roadmap,
establishes LLMOps standards, and leads high-performing engineering
teams to deliver measurable outcomes across prioritized use cases.
Key Responsibilities: Define and execute the enterprise GenAI
technology strategy and roadmap, aligning platform capabilities to
business priorities and measurable outcomes. Lead delivery of core
GenAI platform services (e.g., retrieval/grounding, knowledge
foundations, memory patterns, agent orchestration) as reusable
capabilities for teams across the enterprise. Partner closely with
Data & Analytics to ensure AI-ready data foundations—governed
access, data quality, lineage/metadata, indexing pipelines, and
standardized measurement/telemetry. Establish LLMOps and AI quality
standards—evaluation frameworks, release gates, monitoring, and
lifecycle management for prompts/models to ensure consistent
performance. Embed security, privacy, Responsible AI, and
compliance-by-design through guardrails, risk reviews,
auditability, and red-teaming practices across all solutions. Own
operational excellence and cost governance—reliability/SLOs,
incident readiness, performance optimization, model
routing/caching, and dashboards that manage latency and spend.
Qualifications Significant leadership experience delivering
enterprise-grade AI/ML or GenAI systems from strategy through
production and scale. Proven depth in modern AI architecture
patterns (retrieval &43; grounding, knowledge representations,
orchestration) and ability to guide teams delivering secure,
reliable systems. Demonstrated ownership of governance,
security/privacy, and cost management in production AI solutions.
Strong cross-functional executive influence; ability to align
stakeholders across Technology, D&A, Security/Privacy, and
business disciplines. At Marriott International, we are dedicated
to being an equal opportunity employer, welcoming all and providing
access to opportunity. We actively foster an environment where the
unique backgrounds of our associates are valued and celebrated. Our
greatest strength lies in the rich blend of culture, talent, and
experiences of our associates. We are committed to
