AI Transformation & Process Excellence Associate Manager
You own the full process transformation design cycle for your industry or function — from assessing how market forces, regulatory shifts, and technology changes are reshaping the landscape, through specifying the future-state process, to defining how people will adopt new ways of working. You're the domain authority on your team: clients and colleagues come to you because of what you know about how this industry or function actually works. You combine business expertise, technical literacy and AI process to drive transformation.
You are AX designing at the intersection of human, agent, and process as part of the transformation work. When you design a future-state process, you naturally consider how AI agent experiences should be shaped to serve both the business outcome and the people working alongside those agents.
