This is a player-coach role: a senior design and enablement leader who not only sets the vision, methods, standards, and quality bar for AI-enabled workflow change, but also stays close to the work by facilitating critical engagements, shaping complex design efforts, and helping move priority initiatives from discovery to pilot to scalable adoption.

With strong systems thinking, service design, process design, and applied AI fluency, the Director translates enterprise AI ambition into measurable business value.
Your Work: Shape the enterprise AI enablement approach
Define and evolve CSAA's AI enablement operating model, including standards, templates, design principles, and reusable artifacts.
Establish methods and quality standards for AI-enabled workflow redesign, human-AI interaction, service blueprinting, operating model design, and value realization.
Drive a strong point of view on future ways of working, anticipating how AI will reshape roles, workflows, decisioning, controls, and team structures
Lead AI-enabled workflow, systems, and operating model design
Partner with Business Units and the AI Hub to identify high-value workflow opportunities and prioritize where redesign can create measurable impact.
Lead current-state assessment and future-state design, mapping workflows, services, decision points, roles, and handoffs across the end-to-end system.
Oversee the creation of service blueprints, workflow maps, process flows, journey maps, operating model designs, and other artifacts that make future-state work tangible and actionable.
Define how humans and AI should work together across workflows, including where AI should automate, augment, or escalate to human judgment.
Set direction for human-in-the-loop patterns such as intervention triggers, confidence thresholds, review paths, exception handling, override mechanisms, explainability, and feedback loops.
Partner with technical, data, product, and governance teams to shape prototypes, pilots, and scalable production solutions.
Establish and lead the enterprise AI Community of Practice
Define the CoP charter, operating model, and cadence, ensuring it drives outcomes, not just attendance.
Facilitate cross-BU collaboration to reduce duplication, share vendor and tool learnings, and align on common workflows, standards, and integration patterns.
Create a structured learning loop to capture insights from pilots and deployments, convert them into repeatable patterns, and scale them across teams
Strengthen enterprise capability by creating forums, practices, and assets that help teams design and adopt AI-enabled ways of working.
Measure enterprise AI value and effectiveness
Establish and own enterprise reporting on AI value, workflow impact, adoption, and enablement effectiveness, translating insights into clear recommendations.
Publish a clear reporting cadence that informs portfolio prioritization, investment decisions, and where enablement should focus next to increase performance lift.
Help define meaningful success measures for workflow redesign, human-AI collaboration, service improvement, and organizational adoption.
Team leadership and capability building
Lead, coach, and develop talent, including roles focused on systems design, facilitation, workflow transformation, and community of practice development.
Set the quality bar for design craft across the team, including workflow architecture, blueprinting, human-AI interaction design, executive storytelling, and consultative partnership.
Foster a culture of experimentation, practical delivery, and continuous learning.
