The purpose of the Senior Project Manager (AI Transformation) role is to work together with SBG leaders and AI evangelists in HTCS to implement and adopt AI tools across HTCS, and to lead a structured upskilling initiative that builds a strong AI culture, defines and enables key AI roles, and delivers role-based AI trainings across all job levels. The role partners closely with SBG Engineering leaders, HR leaders, and cross-functional stakeholders to translate the AI transformation roadmap into measurable business outcomes, sustainable operating rhythms, and scaled change adoption.
Principal Responsibilities
The principal responsibility is to plan, execute, and govern HTCS AI transformation initiatives by contributing in the following areas:
Own and manage the HTCS AI Transformation program plan (scope, milestones, budget/benefits, dependencies, risks, and change impacts) and establish the governance cadence (steering committee, workstream reviews, and KPI reporting).
Drive implementation and scaled adoption of priority AI tools within HTCS (e.g., copilots, knowledge assistants, automation, analytics/ML solutions), ensuring alignment to business problems, data/security requirements, and user needs.
Build and maintain a prioritized AI use-case portfolio with SBG Engineering and HTCS function leaders; define value hypotheses, success metrics, and realization tracking (productivity, quality, cycle time, cost, and user satisfaction).
Lead the HTCS AI upskilling program end-to-end: training needs assessment, role-based curricula, learning pathways, communications, learning logistics, completion tracking, and effectiveness measurement.
Partner with HR/L&D to define AI capability frameworks and key AI roles across HTCS (e.g., AI Product Owner, Citizen Developer, Prompt Engineer, Data Steward, AI Champion) and embed them into talent processes (hiring, onboarding, performance and career paths).
Establish and run change management and communications to build AI culture (campaigns, showcases, communities of practice, office hours, playbooks, adoption toolkits) and drive engagement across all job levels.
