Allianz is hiring a Conversational AI Regional Lead for APAC

I caught this one the other day and wanted to document this – it's another interesting indication of the growth and potential of the Conversational AI industry.

Insurance giant Allianz is hiring a Conversational AI Regional Lead for APAC.

By way of indication of Allianz's mission in the space, here's the opening paragraph:

You'll be at the forefront of implementing CAI strategic goals, managing the solution pipeline, and ensuring top-notch alignment with global standards. Enhance customer engagement, boost efficiency, and fuel growth by overseeing CAI resources and rollouts.

The word 'rollouts' gives you a good clue as to what Allianz is likely planning. Multiple rollouts, everywhere, I'd imagine.

The job specification highlights that the position is reporting to Allianz's Head of Conversational AI. I don't know if I've got the right person - but my rather limited research suggests this is potentially Benno Schindler ("Tribe Lead, Conversational AI, Allianz Technology").

Here are some of the responsibilities of the role - not the emphasis on multiple rollouts:

Report regularly on resource utilization and availability, performance status of CAI solution, pipeline opportunities and potentials risks & blockers for CAI solution rollouts.

Manage the roll-out of CAI solutions by accounting for project timeline keeping and facilitating project activities, orchestrating necessary data collection (e.g., for Natural Language Understanding (NLU) training), overseeing testing of CAI solution, and ensuring safe & compliant CAI solution deployment.

If you're interested in the role, be quick - here is the direct link - I'm not sure when it closes.
