AI summary: Principal manager oversees enterprise-wide AI adoption strategy, orchestrating R&D outputs into production workflows while managing distributed AI champions across corporate functions and delivery teams.

Description

Location: Remote or Hybrid

Trinetix is entering its next phase of evolution: the adoption of AI across our entire global footprint. We are looking for a Principal Manager, Applied AI to serve as the strategic lead for this mission, ensuring that our AI-native roadmap delivers measurable competitive advantage across both corporate functions and client delivery

In this role, you will manage a dual-focus mandate: optimizing our corporate ecosystem and revolutionizing our delivery lifecycle. You will act as the strategic bridge between our Applied R&D capabilities and our decentralized network of “AI Champions” embedded within corporate functions and delivery groups.

This is a program-level management role. You are responsible for the technical roadmap and the cross-functional alignment required to move AI-native workflows from R&D into global production. You own the transition of these systems into a standardized, company-wide operational framework.

Key Pillars of Responsibility

1. Enterprise & Delivery Orchestration

  • SDLC Industrialization: Direct the integration of R&D outputs—specifically agentic workflows, GraphRAG, and automated testing—into the core delivery lifecycle to ensure AI-native engineering becomes the firm’s operational standard.

  • Corporate Value Chain Optimization: Audit and optimize the enterprise value chain by identifying high-impact AI interventions within core functions (Finance, Legal, Marketing, and Talent) to eliminate manual bottlenecks and maximize ROI.

  • The Hub-and-Spoke Manager: Act as the central sync-point for “AI Champions” across the firm. You ensure that local innovations in delivery or sales squads are captured, standardized, and scaled globally.

2. Portfolio & Roadmap Leadership

  • Strategic Alignment: Ensure that all Applied R&D outputs and Champion initiatives align strictly with corporate strategic goals and high-value business outcomes.

  • Roadmap Prioritization: Own the AI innovation backlog. You must balance the demands of corporate functional heads with the technical milestones of the delivery engine, prioritizing based on business impact, risk, and feasibility.

  • Standardized Productization: Manage the “last mile” of AI adoption. You own the transition of successful prototypes into industrialized, supported tools that are fully integrated into departmental workflows.

3. Strategic Communication & Governance

  • Change Leadership: Act as the internal evangelist for AI-native transformation. You manage the cultural shift required for teams to trust and adopt non-deterministic, agentic systems.

  • Operational Reporting: Define and track KPIs for AI adoption and efficiency gains. You will regularly report on “Time Saved” and “Value Added” to the executive leadership team.

  • AI Governance: Collaborate with Legal and Security stakeholders to ensure all AI-driven interventions maintain the highest standards of data privacy and corporate governance.

The Ideal Candidate Profile

  • 7+ Years of Management Experience: A proven track record in program management, innovation leadership, or digital transformation within a high-growth environment.

  • Matrix Leadership Mastery: Expert at leading through influence and managing decentralized communities. You know how to align diverse stakeholders—from the CxO to Delivery Leads—around a unified AI roadmap.

  • Business Polymath: You can speak the language of Finance (ROI, efficiency), Legal (compliance, risk), and Delivery (velocity, quality) with equal fluency.

  • Operational Excellence: A “builder” mindset. You know how to take a messy, manual process and turn it into a structured, automated, and scalable workflow.

  • Communication: Exceptional English skills, with the ability to present complex transformation results to C-suite executives and high-value clients.
