Job description

You own the full process transformation design cycle for your industry or function — from assessing how market forces, regulatory shifts, and technology changes are reshaping the landscape, through specifying the future-state process, to defining how people will adopt new ways of working. You're the domain authority on your team: clients and colleagues come to you because of what you know about how this industry or function actually works. You combine business expertise, technical literacy and AI process to drive transformation.

You are AX designing at the intersection of human, agent, and process as part of the transformation work. When you design a future-state process, you naturally consider how AI agent experiences should be shaped to serve both the business outcome and the people working alongside those agents.

THE WORK

Embed AI into future state design for clients as well as in ways of working for your team using the appropriate AI tools and creating agents strategically to aid in deliverable creation.

• Lead future-state process specification, AI integration design, operating model changes, and adoption planning for your assigned industry or functional area.

• Run client discovery workshops and stakeholder interviews; present and defend recommendations to senior client leadership; manage day-to-day client relationships and issue resolution.

• Drive benchmarking analysis and change-impact assessments grounded in deep knowledge of how your industry or function operates.

• Facilitate design thinking sessions and co-creation workshops with cross-functional client teams.

• Connect operating model to future-state processes to drive transformation approaches that are practical and credible.

• Build and maintain documented redesign methods and playbook contributions for your assigned functional process areas.

• Contribute to business development by qualifying opportunities and co-authoring proposals.

• Coach junior practitioners on process redesign methods, domain-specific trend assessment, and operating model design.

• Embed AX Design principles into process specifications — defining how AI agent experiences should be shaped within each process step in your domain, including agent autonomy levels, escalation triggers, and the quality of human-agent handoffs.
