The role leads a multidisciplinary organization that redesigns and transforms core business processes and enables them with automation and AI where it demonstrably improves outcomes.

• Own enterprise AI investment priorities, including build/buy/partner decisions related to AI capabilities and platforms.
• Be accountable for AI-enabled transformation of critical end-to-end business processes across branch operations, sales, supply chain, shared services, finance, and customer-facing functions.
• Lead and scale a transformation organization responsible for process discovery and reengineering, eliminating bottlenecks and manual effort, and applying automation and AI only after process redesign.
• Ensure AI and automation solutions are production-grade, embedded in core operating processes, and adopted at scale.
• Drive measurable improvements in customer experience, associate productivity and capacity, cycle time, throughput, quality, and cost-to-serve.
• Own and govern the centralized enterprise AI and intelligent automation portfolio, prioritizing initiatives based on customer value, productivity impact, risk, and scalability.
• Establish outcome-based metrics and enforce accountability for value realization across all initiatives.
• Own SiteOne's AI governance framework and operating model, including standards for responsible use, human oversight, accountability, transparency, auditability, and regulatory compliance.
• Chair or lead enterprise AI governance forums and partner closely with IT, Security, Legal, and Data teams to ensure responsible AI adoption at scale.
• Define and evolve the enterprise AI operating model (centralized, federated, embedded) and build, lead, and develop a high-performing AI and automation organization.
• Drive enterprise adoption and change by embedding AI into standard ways of working, including changes to roles, KPIs, and operating expectations.
• Raise organizational AI literacy while clearly communicating AI's capabilities, limitations, and appropriate use.

Hybrid Schedule:

• Primarily remote, with an expectation to work in-office 1-2 days per week at our Roswell, GA location.

Travel:
