About The Role

The Director/ Senior Director, Vertical AI Enablement and Transformation is responsible for improving vertical-specific processes, workflows, and product capabilities through the practical application of AI and advanced analytics. This role focuses on hands-on enablement within the Vertical to identify, pilot, and scale AI-driven process and product improvements that deliver measurable business value.

This individual plays a leadership role within the Insurance & Healthcare AI Center of Excellence (AI CoE), collaborating with peers from other functional areas to shape shared practices, reusable assets, and pragmatic standards that accelerate the impact of AI across the segment while remaining grounded in real vertical needs.

Unlike enterprise-wide AI strategy roles, this position emphasizes execution over governance—translating emerging AI capabilities into tangible improvements in product effectiveness, operational efficiency, and customer outcomes within the vertical, while contributing to cross-functional alignment through the AI CoE.

This role will be hybrid in Alpharetta, GA

We are open to hiring at the Director or Senior Director level, with final leveling determined based on experience and interview outcomes.

• AI Center of Excellence (CoE) Leadership & Collaboration
• Take a lead role within the Insurance & Healthcare AI CoE, partnering with peers from Product Management, Analytics, Marketing, Technology, and Sales.
• Contribute vertical use cases, lessons learned, and best practices to inform shared AI patterns, accelerators, and standards.
• Help shape CoE priorities by grounding enterprise AI initiatives in real business problems and delivery realities.
• Support reuse of CoE-developed capabilities back into the vertical and ensure alignment with segment-level AI direction.
• Change Enablement & Training
• Partner with vertical leaders and AI CoE counterparts to drive adoption of new AI-enabled processes and product features.
• Contribute to training materials, demos, and internal playbooks focused on practical AI usage.
• Help build confidence and literacy among vertical stakeholders through real-world use cases rather than theory.
• Market & Customer Feedback Loop
• Incorporate customer feedback, competitive dynamics, and market signals into prioritization of AI-driven improvements.
