The Executive Directorate (EXD) stewards OECD resources on behalf of the Secretary-General, with responsibility for people and wellbeing, budget management, security, infrastructure, and the OECD’s convening activities. EXD provides corporate services and strategic advice on management and corporate policies to the Secretary-General, Council and Standing Committees, and delivers compliance and risk management functions within its remit, operating in a fast-paced environment focused on management excellence.

Within the Executive Directorate (EXD), the Digital, Knowledge and Information Service (DKI) is responsible for overseeing corporate IT infrastructure and operations, maintaining digital security, information management, and delivering digital and other IT-related products and services. EXD/DKI also supports the safe adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies across the Organisation.

Following the recommendation of the OECD AI Task Force and in line with the evolving AI-related requirements of the OECD, the CAI division has been established to support the safe adoption of AI technologies across the Organisation. CAI is tasked with overseeing the shift from initial experimentation towards the scaled adoption of AI (from Exploration to Institutionalisation) that delivers tangible value with a clear emphasis on enhancing organisational impact, improving productivity, and transforming ways of working.

In this role, you will sit within the AI Lab in EXD/DKI/CAIO. The AI Lab supports the development and operationalisation of the OECD’s corporate AI framework by identifying, designing and implementing high-value AI solutions that strengthen the Organisation’s analytical and operational capabilities. Acting as the principal interface between the AI Lab and OECD Directorates, you will work closely with business teams to identify high-impact opportunities for AI, translate them into structured use cases, and support their progression from concept through proof of concept to operational deployment where appropriate.

A key responsibility will be to determine the most appropriate technical approach for each use case, assessing whether solutions are best delivered through enterprise productivity tools, AI workflows and applications, or more advanced experimental environments. In doing so, you will consider factors such as security, data sensitivity, cost, scalability, interoperability and organisational impact, while ensuring that AI implementation remains closely aligned with OECD analytical and policy work and supports a coherent Organisation-wide AI architecture and governance framework.
