Job Description
Are you passionate about building digital foundations that drive business outcomes, accelerate innovation, and fuel the future of AI, automation, and analytics?
We are looking for an Associate Director, Digital Transformation to help build the digital foundation that will enable the next generation of AI-powered capabilities across Global Sourcing & Procurement.
In this role, you will connect business processes, enterprise systems, and data into a unified experience that enables automation, analytics, and AI at scale. You will map how work moves across functions, systems, and teams, uncover opportunities to simplify and standardize how work is done, and create the foundations required for intelligent, AI-driven decision making.
This is not a traditional transformation role. We are looking for a builder and systems thinker who can move seamlessly between business strategy, technology architecture, process optimization, and hands-on solution development. You will help shape how users interact with our digital ecosystem while establishing the process, system, and data frameworks that will power future AI capabilities.
What Makes This Role Different
What You'll Do
Who You Are
You enjoy understanding how business processes, systems, data, and people interact to create outcomes. Rather than accepting complexity, you look for opportunities to simplify, connect, and scale.
You are equally comfortable analyzing data, mapping end-to-end user experiences, evaluating system interactions, influencing stakeholders, and building prototype solutions that demonstrate value. You combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution and enjoy turning ideas into working capabilities.
You thrive in high-performing environments where decisions are driven by data, feedback is candid and constructive, and the best ideas win regardless of where they originate. You move quickly, embrace experimentation, and focus on creating momentum rather than bureaucracy.
Most importantly, you believe great digital experiences are built on connected processes, trusted data, and scalable technology foundations. You are excited by the opportunity to help shape the future of Global Sourcing & Procurement through automation, analytics, and AI-enabled innovation.
