Director, AI Product / Program Facilitator

Vision & Strategy

You are responsible for knowing the commercial strategy well enough to judge which problems are worth solving, setting the direction for the initiative, and keeping the work anchored to the outcomes the business actually cares about.

Business Case & Commercial Logic

You are responsible for building the business case and carrying it forward. You size the opportunity, define the bet, and make the call on where to invest and where to stop. You produce this— you don't commission it.

AI-First Leadership

You lead this as an AI-first effort, not a conventional program with AI added on top. You push the team to reach for AI where it changes the shape of the work, hold automation and intelligence as the default rather than the exception, and set the ways of working the rest of the portfolio can learn from.

Business Outcomes

You own the result and the work that gets there. You tie the initiative to commercial outcomes and drive measurable movement on them. When something isn't working, you're close enough to the work to catch it and change course.

Hybrid Team & Delivery

You lead a team that is part people, part agents, and produce alongside it. You decide what humans do, what agents do, and how they work together—then build. You set the operating model and you stay in the work.

Program & Delivery Management

You own the initiative plan and key milestones. You drive cadence and ceremonies, track progress against goals, manage dependencies and critical path, and keep delivery on schedule.

Reporting & Communication

You produce clear, honest status for the VP, business sponsor, and governance forums. You maintain the single source of truth on status, decisions, and risks.
