Group AI Transformation Manager

Role Description

The Group AI Transformation Manager is the primary driver of AI adoption across a group of 6+ business units, reporting to the Group Leader and partnering closely with the Modaxo AI Centre of Excellence (CoE). This is fundamentally a change, commercial, and capability role — the human bridge between enterprise AI strategy and operational reality of each business unit. The AI Transformation Manager does not build the business unit’s AI solutions; they accelerate the pace at which AI is adopted, embedded, generates value driving solutions for our customers that are brought to market quickly and scaled across the group. Strong candidates will typically come from transformation, senior business units partnering backgrounds or commercial and technical strategy backgrounds. Remote candidates in North America are considered with regular travel expected.

Duties / Responsibilities

• AI Strategy & Opportunity Development
  • Develop and maintain an AI transformation roadmap for the group, mapping each business unit’s maturity, near-term priorities, and 12–24 month opportunity pipeline aligned to Group Leader and business unit strategy.
  • Identify and prioritize AI use cases using a structured framework (impact × feasibility × strategic fit) and lead regular AI opportunity reviews with Group Leader, business unit leaders, and other Modaxo Functions.
  • Translate market trends on emerging AI capabilities into specific commercial opportunities for business units.
• AI Adoption & Implementation Acceleration
  • Act as the primary implementation partner for business units deploying AI tools — removing adoption barriers and moving from decision to live deployment faster.
  • Lead AI pilot scoping, design, and monitoring to generate transferable learning and scale-ready outcomes; replicate successful use cases across business units.
  • Hold business unit leaders accountable for agreed AI adoption milestones with appropriate support and challenge.
• AI Champions Partnership & Capability Business Development
  • Serve as day-to-day partner to AI Champions — providing guidance, escalation support, and a link to other Modaxo resources.
  • Help Champions develop business unit AI readiness assessments and activation plans; identify capability gaps and coordinate learning interventions.
  • Track and report AI literacy levels and adoption readiness using a consistent maturity framework.
• Stakeholder Engagement & Change Leadership
  • Build relationship as a trusted advisor with business unit leaders; manage the human side of AI change proactively and ensure no business unit is left behind.
  • Brief the Group Leader regularly on adoption progress, emerging risks, and priority decisions; prepare a monthly AI adoption summary for upward reporting.
  • Support talent and role evaluation to ensure business units have the right skills to deliver AI strategy; connect AI adoption to the AI Impact Personas framework.
• Performance, Measurement & Reporting
  • Own the group’s AI adoption scorecard: adoption rates, use cases live, value delivered, capability development, and maturity progression.
  • Conduct periodic AI maturity assessments and provide regular reporting to the Group Leader and other Modaxo stakeholders against the transformation roadmap.
• Other duties as assigned.
