Sr. Director, AI Platform Engineering & Enablement

Role Description

This role requires a leader who brings deep technical knowledge of enterprise AI platforms and the strategic judgment to look across every platform EPEO offers — spanning leading AI and cloud platform providers — and define where AI belongs, what it should change, and how the organization gets there. This is not an operational role. It is the most forward-looking mandate in the platform organization: a cross-cutting AI strategy and enablement function with authority across all platform organizations.

The Senior Director, AI Platform Engineering & Enablement brings two equally weighted mandates:

• Engineering Side: Applies deep technical judgment to evaluate, architect, and govern how AI capabilities are integrated across EPEO’s platform portfolio.
• Enablement Side: Ensures AI capabilities from major providers are actively activated, governed, and embedded into how platforms operate.

This person does not wait for the organization to ask what AI can do. They already know, and they have a plan.

Qualifications

• 12+ years of experience in technology, including significant hands-on platform strategy, enterprise architecture, or AI infrastructure leadership.
• Deep working knowledge of the enterprise AI provider landscape across leading cloud platforms, enterprise AI assistant and productivity platforms, and frontier AI model providers.
• Demonstrated experience assessing and rationalizing AI portfolios at enterprise scale.
• Hands-on background in cloud platform architecture sufficient to evaluate AI capabilities at the architectural level.
• Experience designing or governing enterprise AI governance, FinOps, and enablement frameworks from the ground up.
• Strong understanding of LLM architecture, agentic patterns, RAG, multi-model orchestration, and AI infrastructure primitives at enterprise scale.

Requirements

• Own the cross-platform AI strategy across all of EPEO’s platform portfolio.
• Continuously evaluate AI capabilities across all major providers and platforms against EPEO’s current operating model.
• Define and own the cross-platform AI strategy roadmap.
• Identify where AI creates step-change opportunities in platform operations.
• Drive activation and adoption of AI capabilities across all platforms EPEO operates.
• Build and govern the AI portfolio framework for EPEO.
• Establish the governance and financial management layer for AI across the enterprise platform portfolio.
• Lead EPEO’s strategic AI vendor relationships at the architecture and roadmap level.
• Partner closely with platform organizations across EPEO to ensure AI strategy translates into embedded, operating reality.
• Build and maintain executive-level alignment on AI platform strategy and investment.
