Principal Manager, Applied AI

Trinetix is entering its next phase of evolution: the adoption of AI across our entire global footprint. We are looking for a Principal Manager, Applied AI to serve as the strategic lead for this mission, ensuring that our AI-native roadmap delivers measurable competitive advantage across both corporate functions and client delivery 

In this role, you will manage a dual-focus mandate: optimizing our corporate ecosystem and revolutionizing our delivery lifecycle. You will act as the strategic bridge between our Applied R&D capabilities and our decentralized network of "AI Champions" embedded within corporate functions and delivery groups. 

This is a program-level management role. You are responsible for the technical roadmap and the cross-functional alignment required to move AI-native workflows from R&D into global production. You own the transition of these systems into a standardized, company-wide operational framework. 

Key Pillars of Responsibility 

1. Enterprise & Delivery Orchestration 

• SDLC Industrialization: Direct the integration of R&D outputs—specifically agentic workflows, GraphRAG, and automated testing—into the core delivery lifecycle to ensure AI-native engineering becomes the firm's operational standard. 
• Corporate Value Chain Optimization: Audit and optimize the enterprise value chain by identifying high-impact AI interventions within core functions (Finance, Legal, Marketing, and Talent) to eliminate manual bottlenecks and maximize ROI. 
• The Hub-and-Spoke Manager: Act as the central sync-point for "AI Champions" across the firm. You ensure that local innovations in delivery or sales squads are captured, standardized, and scaled globally. 

2. Portfolio & Roadmap Leadership 

• Strategic Alignment: Ensure that all Applied R&D outputs and Champion initiatives align strictly with corporate strategic goals and high-value business outcomes. 
• Roadmap Prioritization: Own the AI innovation backlog. You must balance the demands of corporate functional heads with the technical milestones of the delivery engine, prioritizing based on business impact, risk, and feasibility. 
• Standardized Productization: Manage the "last mile" of AI adoption. You own the transition of successful prototypes into industrialized, supported tools that are fully integrated into departmental workflows. 

3. Strategic Communication & Governance 

• Change Leadership: Act as the internal evangelist for AI-native transformation. You manage the cultural shift required for teams to trust and adopt non-deterministic, agentic systems. 
• Operational Reporting: Define and track KPIs for AI adoption and efficiency gains. You will regularly report on "Time Saved" and "Value Added" to the executive leadership team. 
• AI Governance: Collaborate with Legal and Security stakeholders to ensure all AI-driven interventions maintain the highest standards of data privacy and corporate governance. 

The Ideal Candidate Profile 

• 7+ Years of Management Experience: A proven track record in program management, innovation leadership, or digital transformation within a high-growth environment. 
• Matrix Leadership Mastery: Expert at leading through influence and managing decentralized communities. You know how to align diverse stakeholders—from the CxO to Delivery Leads—around a unified AI roadmap. 
• Business Polymath: You can speak the language of Finance (ROI, efficiency), Legal (compliance, risk), and Delivery (velocity, quality) with equal fluency. 
• Operational Excellence: A "builder" mindset. You know how to take a messy, manual process and turn it into a structured, automated, and scalable workflow. 
• Communication: Exceptional English skills, with the ability to present complex transformation results to C-suite executives and high-value clients.
