Job description
This is a newly created role at one of the most AI-forward companies in our sector. No template to follow. No blueprint to inherit. You'll report to our CTO with direct access to the CEO and C-Suite - using AI to accelerate executive execution while building the governance and adoption framework that scales across our US and Asia operations.
Not research. Not support. A mandate to create measurable value.
The AI Business Transformation Manager will own three interconnected mission:
(1) Accelerate C-Suite Execution with AI
- Embed with the CEO and C-Suite - attend key meetings, capture emerging initiatives, and use AI to move priorities from conversation to output with urgency
- Produce results, not decks - research, analysis, briefings, and communications that give leadership time back and raise the quality of every decision
- Apply first-principles thinking to identify where AI can eliminate friction in executive workflows then implement the solution, don't just recommend it
- Serve as a trusted thought partner to the leadership team on AI strategy, tooling, and emerging opportunity
(2) Build and Lead AI Governance & Policy
- Develop and own Century's AI governance framework; policies, standards, and guardrails for responsible AI use across the organization
- Establish tooling standards and approved AI workflows to prevent shadow AI and ensure consistency across US and Asia teams
- Monitor adoption, identify risks, and keep governance frameworks current as the AI landscape evolves. This space moves fast and our policies need to keep pace
- Serve as Century's internal authority on AI policy, vendor evaluation, and compliance considerations
- Partner with HR and Compliance to ensure governance keeps up with usage
(3) Drive AI Adoption Across the Organization
- Identify and prioritize high-ROI use cases across business functions: operations, customer delivery, finance, HR, and track the outcomes
- Build a library of approved AI workflows, prompts, and playbooks that teams can adopt consistently, no reinventing the wheel across geographies
- Connect teams solving similar problems; eliminate duplicated effort and capture leverage across US and Asia operations
- Lead AI literacy initiatives: training, documentation, internal showcases - raise the floor across the whole organization
- Give leadership clear visibility into what AI is delivering: adoption metrics, time saved, quality improvements, cost impact
Why This Role
- In the room from day one: direct C-Suite access, not working toward it
- Build from scratch: this function doesn't exist yet. You define what it becomes
- Global scope: shape AI adoption across US and Asia
- Growth path: potential to lead a cross-functional AI team in Asia as we scale
Requirements
What You'll Bring
- 1-3 years deploying AI in a commercial or operational setting. Actual deployment, not research
- Daily hands-on experience with LLMs, AI agents, automation platforms, prompt engineering, and retrieval-augmented workflows
- Proven ability to translate AI into business outcomes across time, cost, quality, and speed
- Strong project management skills. You drive workstreams to completion without being chased
- Comfortable coaching executives and challenging traditional ways of working
- Executive-level communication, written and verbal
- Comfort working across US and Asia time zones
Supply chain or logistics background, consulting experience, or a degree in AI/CS/Data Science. Even better, but not required.
