Job description

AI Transformation Lead

About Praecipio

Praecipio helps enterprises turn technology investments into business outcomes. We are an Atlassian consultancy with a fast-growing AI practice, and a Select partner in the Claude Partner Network Services Track. We are building AI-native delivery from the inside out: the same transformation we run for clients, we run on ourselves first.

The Role

Most enterprise AI investments die in pilot. Not because the technology fails, but because the organization around it never changes: team structures, decision rights, governance, and day-to-day operating rhythms stay built for a pre-AI world. This role owns that problem.

You will lead operating model engagements for enterprise clients and serve as a key architect of Praecipio's own agentic operating model. What you learn building ours becomes the methodology you take to theirs. You will be a true peer to our practice leads in AI strategy, engineering, and enablement, and the first person at Praecipio whose full-time job is the organizational side of AI transformation.

What You'll Do

• Lead client operating model engagements: org design, decision rights, governance, and workforce readiness for teams working alongside AI agents

• Facilitate AI advisory workshops with executive and delivery audiences

• Architect how Praecipio's own teams work with AI agents, and build the change frameworks that make adoption stick

• Turn engagement learnings into repeatable, sellable methodology in a domain where the playbook is still being written

• Carry client-billable strategy work alongside internal methodology building

What You Bring

• Deep roots in organizational design and change management, ideally in a consulting or transformation delivery context

• Enough fluency across AI strategy, engineering, and enablement to hold your own with technical practice leads and skeptical executives alike

• A strong, defensible point of view on what AI-native organizations actually look like

• Comfort operating in ambiguity: this capability does not exist here yet, and you are being hired to build it

• Executive presence and facilitation skill at the client decision-maker level

• You work in Git, GitHub, and Claude Code in the terminal today. This is the baseline toolchain for everything we build.

Why This Role

You will define a practice area, not inherit one. Praecipio's internal transformation is the proof of concept for the client offer, which means your work shows up twice: in how we operate and in what we sell.
