Head of Transformation - Product Management

Description

Position Summary

Lead the Transformation Team's track for a large-scale digital workplace and AI transformation. This role owns the design, staffing, sequencing, delivery, and business outcomes of small, time-bound, cross-functional teams that redesign how individual business functions work using collaboration technology, AI, and automation on top of approved platform capabilities. During the initial launch phase, this role also acts as the single delivery leader across the broader program.

• Recruit, lead, and develop Transformation Team Leads

• Own team intake and sequencing within platform readiness windows

• Co-own the integrated master sequence with the Head of Platform

• Define business outcomes and success metrics for each team with the relevant business sponsor

• Drive workflow redesign, process simplification, AI-enabled tooling, and adoption across business functions

• Enforce architectural compliance by ensuring teams build only on approved platform capabilities

• Escalate missing capabilities rather than allowing workarounds or shadow solutions

• Manage engineering demand from a shared engineering organization and resolve allocation issues within agreed governance

• Escalate cross-track resource conflicts to executive program leadership

• Partner with Enablement and Change on embedded change leadership

• Partner with Security and Data Governance on required approvals for AI-enabled solutions

• Own team lifecycle through formal sustainment handoff

• Represent the program to senior business leaders

• Deliver consolidated delivery reporting across teams

• Sustainment handoffs are documented, complete, and free of orphaned tooling

• Additional business functions actively request team support
