Role Summary

The Corporate AI Transformation Lead implements AI solutions for the company's corporate and shared-services functions — finance, accounting, HR, IT, legal, and procurement. Working within the strategy and governance set by leadership, this role builds and deploys working solutions, trains those teams to use them, and drives day-to-day adoption. It is the corporate-function counterpart to the E&C and I&M Applied AI Leads — same mission and seniority, different business domain. It implements; it does not set AI strategy or governance.

Key Responsibilities

Build and deploy AI solutions for corporate-function problems — finance, accounting, HR, IT, legal, procurement (document-heavy workflows, reporting and analysis, knowledge retrieval, drafting, data lookups).
Train and enable corporate-function teams with hands-on sessions, job-specific guidance, and ongoing support that fits how they work.
Drive adoption across corporate functions: run pilots, hold office hours, remove friction, and grow self-service use.
Deploy, configure, and support the agentic AI tools the company has selected for corporate users — Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Cowork, Claude Cowork, and Claude Code — and use them directly to build and ship solutions.
Collaborate with the E&C and I&M Applied AI Leads as peers — reuse and share solutions, templates, and patterns so work is not duplicated across segments.
Apply the governance and data-handling standards leadership sets, and flag risks and gaps back to leadership.
Quantify and report impact in corporate-function terms: hours saved, cycle-time reduction, error and rework reduction, reporting turnaround.

Required Qualifications

7+ years across software/data, IT, or technical implementation, with hands-on LLM experience in a business setting.
Ability to build and deploy working solutions (Python, TypeScript, or low-code) and to train non-technical business users to use them.
Hands-on fluency with agentic AI tools — building and automating with Claude Code, and enabling users with Claude Cowork and Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork.
Working knowledge of corporate-function workflows and systems (ERP, finance, HR, Microsoft 365).
Excellent communication across both technical and non-technical audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

Depth in the Microsoft AI stack (Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Cowork, Azure AI Foundry, Fabric) and Anthropic tooling (Claude Cowork, Claude Code).
Experience implementing AI or automation within finance, HR, or IT functions.
Experience applying governance and data-handling standards in practice.
Power Platform or other low-code experience a plus, though not a focus of the role.
Corporate-function teams trained and increasingly self-sufficient.
Reusable solutions shared with the peer leads so wins transfer across segments.

Base salary: $145,000-$180,000 per year.
Notes: Actual compensation will be based on skills, experience, and work location, and may vary from the posted range. This posting reflects compensation at the time of posting and may be updated.
