This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Director, Enterprise AI Operations based in the United States.
This is a high-impact enterprise transformation leadership role focused on operationalizing AI across a large, complex organization rather than building external products or experimental prototypes. You will be responsible for embedding AI directly into core business workflows spanning editorial, revenue, audience development, and internal operations. The role is centered on execution at scale—turning strategy into repeatable systems, driving adoption, and ensuring measurable business impact. You will work closely with executive leadership to define and implement an enterprise-wide AI operating model that improves efficiency, decision-making, and output quality. A key part of your mandate is change management: enabling behavioral shifts across diverse teams and ensuring AI becomes a sustained, embedded capability rather than a set of optional tools. You will also establish governance, measurement frameworks, and operational standards to ensure responsible, scalable adoption. This is a leadership role for someone who excels at driving real organizational transformation in high-visibility environments.
