Senior Director, AI & Business Transformation (US)

Job Description

Code and Theory is hiring a Senior Director to lead large-scale business transformation engagements within our Enterprise Transformation practice. You will own C-suite relationships, design governance and operating model architecture, and use AI-powered prototyping to generate alignment before asking large organizations to change.

Depending on the client engagement, this role may operate in a forward-deployed capacity — embedded inside a client team, working alongside their engineers, product leads, and operators to ship solutions in real time. That is not a separate track or program. It is a mode this work requires, and the expectation is that you are ready for it when the account calls for it. WHAT YOU’LL DO Own VP-to-C-suite relationships across complex, multi-workstream engagements — shape scope, lead delivery, and maintain executive confidence through ambiguity Navigate organizational politics without losing the thread of what the engagement is actually trying to accomplish Hold both the strategic frame and working-level detail simultaneously — credible in a leadership offsite and a process redesign session in the same week Design target-state operating models end-to-end: org structure, decision rights, governance forums, and the operating cadences that make them run Define measurement strategy — performance baselines, leading and lagging indicators, and the metrics leadership actually uses Design investment governance frameworks: ROI models and stage-gate mechanisms that connect spend to measurable outcomes Design activation motions across direct and partner ecosystems, with the enablement and feedback loops that change behavio
