Job description

We are building an AI-driven organization where humans and AI agents collaborate to fundamentally transform how work gets done.

We are seeking an Agentic Workflow Lead to design, optimize, and operationalize intelligent workflows that combine human decision-making with AI-driven execution. This is not a traditional project management or business analyst role - this is a hands-on operational transformation role focused on building scalable human + AI operating models.

You will work closely with Agentic Engineers and cross-functional teams to define how AI agents interact with business processes, drive adoption, improve workflow quality, and deliver measurable business impact.

The ideal candidate understands operational workflows deeply, has hands-on exposure to modern AI tooling, and can bridge the gap between business transformation and technical execution.

  • Build scalable workflow documentation, SOPs, and operational frameworks

AI Workflow Quality & Optimization

  • Define acceptance criteria and quality standards for AI-generated outputs
  • Identify workflow gaps, edge cases, and operational risks before deployment
  • Partner with engineering teams to refine prompts, workflows, and agent behaviors
  • Monitor production workflows and continuously improve performance and adoption

Change Management & Adoption

  • Lead adoption efforts for AI-enabled workflows across business teams
  • Develop training, communication, and stakeholder engagement strategies
  • Educate teams on AI capabilities, limitations, and operational best practices
  • Drive alignment across technical and non-technical stakeholders

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Operate in a co-ownership model with Agentic Engineers and technical teams
  • Translate business requirements into actionable workflow specifications
  • Collaborate with offshore and nearshore engineering teams
  • Contribute reusable workflow templates, governance models, and best practices
  • Mentor junior team members and help scale AI workflow capabilities across the organization, * AI-enabled workflows are successfully deployed and adopted across business teams
  • Human + AI collaboration models improve operational efficiency, speed, and quality
