Sr Manager, AI Strategy - GenAI Platforms & Chatbot Products

Job Overview

This role leads the team behind the AI platforms the whole enterprise relies on — the GenAI tools people use every day and the coding platforms our engineers build on — and the enterprise's self-service AI chat agents for Tier 1 IT and HR support. This is one of the highest-impact roles in the organization. These platforms are how the company gets work done and how our engineers ship code, and we're not dipping our toes in — we're leading the way with a platform of choice, so people reach for the best tool rather than the only one. That means real scope: multiple best-in-class platforms, one gateway, the models beneath them, and the reliability and cost that keep them running — plus the AI chat agents employees reach for first, resolving IT and HR requests in seconds instead of tickets, which your team builds, maintains, and operates against business-owner requirements. You own the experience across all of it, and you're accountable for making it match our Un-carrier mindset — bold, easy, and built for the people who use it. Success looks like an enterprise that builds and works on our platforms because they're the best, not because they're mandated.
