• Build and govern evaluation methods and guardrails for a brand-facing agent, including response quality, safety, escalation rate, repeat inquiries, and early signals of quality erosion.
• Partner across product, engineering, design, data, applied AI, customer care, and business stakeholders to shape the agent experience, evaluate vendors and models, and measure outcomes using Best Buy's customer data.
• Connect personalization to Best Buy's enterprise data platform, build on Applied AI Standard patterns and evaluation harnesses, and partner with FinOps to understand cost-per-conversation economics.
