We are seeking a Principal Program Manager to lead enterprise-wide AI strategy and transformation at scale. In this role, you will be the single-threaded owner of a multi-org AI adoption program, responsible for defining the vision, building the operating model, and driving measurable productivity impact through AI-powered automation and GenAI tool integration across a workforce of thousands.
You will operate as a strategic leader at the intersection of AI product adoption, operational transformation, and organizational change management. This role requires you to stitch together a fragmented landscape of AI experiments, 1P/3P tools, and automation initiatives into a coherent strategy - setting priorities, building coalitions across VP-level organizations, and creating the measurement frameworks that demonstrate AI"s business impact.
You will build and lead a federated program model spanning multiple working groups, influence without authority across senior leadership, and serve as the connective tissue between engineering/product teams building AI capabilities and the operational organizations adopting them. This is not a role for someone who simply tracks projects - it requires a strategic thinker who can shape the "how" and "what" of AI transformation, navigate ambiguity, and drive organizational alignment at scale.
