Director, AI Enterprise Architect
About the role
Responsibilities
Enterprise AI Transformation Strategy: Define and drive the company-wide AI roadmap, including prioritization frameworks, sequencing of initiatives, and executive alignment. Ensure a relentless focus on business outcomes rather than tool adoption.
AI-Native Workflow Redesign: Partner with leaders across Sales, Customer Success, Finance, Operations, and Marketing to identify high-leverage opportunities. Redesign processes from the ground up into AI-native, automated workflows.
AI Systems & Agentic Workflow Development: Design, build, and deploy production-grade AI systems, including agentic workflows that automate end-to-end processes. Own the full lifecycle—from scoping through deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
LLM & Data Integration Architecture: Architect scalable LLM-powered systems, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), unified context layers, and integration frameworks that connect enterprise data sources.
Data & Platform Engineering: Design and implement robust data pipelines, integration layers, and shared infrastructure that enable reusable, enterprise-wide AI capabilities. Ensure reliability, scalability, and accessibility across systems.
AI Governance, Security & Standards: Establish frameworks for model governance, risk management, data access, and security. Define standards for tools, evaluation, and responsible AI usage.
Technical Leadership & Culture Building: Drive AI adoption across the organization by mentoring leaders, establishing best practices, and fostering AI-native ways of working.
