Senior Director, AI Strategy – Architecture

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Design and execute comprehensive AI workflows across various teams (e.g., RevOps, Legal, Marketing, Security, Finance, Customer Success). Integrate data platforms, AI models (such as Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot), and internal applications into cohesive, production-ready solutions. Ensure that all implementations are scalable, secure, and maintainable in global environments. Own and effectively communicate an enterprise-wide AI opportunity roadmap that aligns with business priorities.

• Offer specific, customized guidance on AI tools, promoting efficient and secure utilization, vendor selection, and architectural design — encompassing LLM integration, prompt engineering, workflow automation, agentic systems, and intelligent data pipelines.

• Ensure all AI deployments comply with the company's security protocols, data governance standards, and multi-national regulatory requirements — utilizing extensive cybersecurity knowledge to proactively mitigate risks prior to deployment.

• Create and deliver educational content — such as playbooks, workshops, executive briefings, and reference guides — aimed at enhancing AI literacy and capabilities throughout the organization at all levels.

• Oversee and enhance model usage efficiency, consumption patterns, and system performance for all AI implementations. Adopt best practices including prompt optimization, caching strategies, and shared resource management. Establish success metrics for AI initiatives, track adoption and results across departments, and present ROI findings and strategic recommendations to the SVP of Information Systems and executive leadership.

• Establish and lead communities of practice where teams can share successes, lessons learned, and reusable AI resources — minimizing duplicated efforts and accelerating adoption across global regions.

• Design and implement structured training programs — including workshops, onboarding modules, and role-specific enablement sessions — that foster practical AI fluency across BeyondTrust. Collaborate with HR and departmental leaders to integrate training into workflows, ensuring it is not treated as a one-time event.

• Keep abreast of the changing AI vendor and tool landscape, represent the company at industry events, and bring in emerging best practices and capabilities before competitors can leverage them.

• Cultivate senior-level relationships across business units to influence priorities and investment choices. This role enjoys executive sponsorship and operates with the support of the AI Steering Committee, providing the organizational credibility to drive alignment, rather than just advocate for it.

⛳️ Requirements

• 10–15 years of experience in technology, engineering, or architecture roles, with significant AI/ML project involvement in the past 3–4 years.

• Extensive knowledge of the contemporary AI tooling landscape: LLMs, agentic frameworks, RPA, vector databases, and no-code/low-code automation platforms.

• Practical knowledge of cybersecurity principles to establish credibility with security-focused audiences and identify data risks in AI deployments.

• Outstanding executive communication abilities — skilled in translating complex AI concepts for a CFO and constructing a credible business case for an engineering leader.

• Demonstrated capacity to drive enterprise change through influence rather than authority in complex multi-stakeholder environments.

• Experience working within multi-country organizations with diverse regulatory, cultural, and compliance contexts.

• Proven history of quantifying and conveying business value from technology initiatives.

• Formal or informal background in change management, organizational learning, or internal consulting.

• We prioritize the well-being of our employees so they can provide exceptional care to our customers, who come from all walks of life, just like us. We recruit outstanding individuals from diverse backgrounds because when we unite our differences, we grow stronger together.
