Senior Manager, AI Platform Enablement

Role Description

CrowdStrike is seeking a Senior Manager to lead our AI Platform Enablement team. This leader will own an integrated charter across platform leadership and enablement, helping CrowdStrike build and scale a governed internal AI development experience that is secure, usable, and ready for broad adoption.

This role is focused on enabling the internal platform, workflows, and operating model that support AI-assisted development and governed AI usage across CrowdStrike. The team will not own AI as a product; instead, this leader will partner closely with the Enterprise AI team and other stakeholders to deliver secure platforms, strong adoption, and effective change management.

What You'll Do

• Lead the AI Platform Enablement function as an operating domain with responsibility for roadmap, delivery, adoption, and operational strategy across multiple work-streams.
• Define and execute the strategy for a governed internal AI platform environment that includes developer workspaces, secure gateway patterns, identity, observability, and enterprise integrations, in close partnership with the Enterprise AI team.
• Partner with engineering, platform, infrastructure, security, risk, and compliance stakeholders to ensure the platform is secure, auditable, scalable, and aligned to enterprise standards.
• Drive enablement programs that help internal teams adopt approved AI capabilities through structured training, reusable templates, starter kits, and rollout playbooks.
• Build operating mechanisms, service models, and prioritization frameworks that help teams move from idea to working solutions in a controlled environment with speed and consistency.
• Establish success metrics for platform usage, onboarding, adoption, delivery velocity, control effectiveness, and user experience.
• Lead and grow a high-performing team, setting clear direction, developing talent, and creating strong cross-functional alignment across technical and business stakeholders.
• Act as an executive-facing leader who can translate technical platform decisions into business outcomes, adoption plans, and risk-managed execution.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience leading technical programs, platforms, or enterprise technology functions, with meaningful people leadership experience.
• Experience leading managers, senior individual contributors, or cross-functional teams in a complex enterprise environment.
• Strong understanding of AI platform enablement, developer productivity, enterprise architecture, and secure-by-design operating models.
• Experience with one or more of the following areas: cloud developer workspaces, API gateways, platform engineering, CI/CD, identity and access management, observability, or enterprise integration patterns.
• Track record of combining platform strategy with adoption and change management, including training, documentation, stakeholder engagement, and scaled rollout.
• Ability to partner effectively with security, risk, compliance, infrastructure, and engineering leaders on sensitive or high-governance initiatives.
• Strong communication and executive presence, with the ability to influence across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity, setting direction, and building the function while the platform and operating model continue to mature.
• Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.

Bonus Points

• Strong leadership experience managing a global team.
• Experience standing up or scaling internal AI development platforms, agent platforms, or governed GenAI environments.
• Familiarity with platforms and patterns such as Coder, Kong, GitLab, Okta, secrets management, and cloud-native infrastructure.

• Background in IT, platform engineering, developer experience, digital workplace, or enterprise transformation environments.
