Position Summary:

As a Director of AI Enablement, you will be in a cross-functional and highly visible role responsible for building and leading a net-new function that determines how an entire finance organization learns to use AI responsibly and effectively. As part of the Finance Technology Enablement organization, this role will allow you to partner closely with PS Finance business leaders, enterprise IT counterparts, and a growing internal team to design and deliver a structured AI enablement program equipping finance professionals with the knowledge, guardrails, and tools to use AI well while establishing and maintaining the governance standards that govern AI use across the organization. This role is designed for a strong change leader and program builder who can operate across organizational boundaries. Pharmacy Services (Caremark) Finance professionals are already using AI tools; solutions with AI components are being built. What's missing is a structured, governed approach that ensures that use is consistent, responsible, and effective at scale. This role closes that gap not by building AI solutions, but by building the program, the standards, and the organizational capability that allow PS Finance to use AI well. The right candidate has driven adoption at enterprise scale, is credible on AI governance with both technical teams and senior business leaders and is energized by building a function from the ground up at a moment when the mandate is both clear and urgent.
