Remote

Poland | Full time

Your position

As Head of Enterprise AI & Intelligent Automation, you will report directly to the SVP, Head of Global Business Services, and serve as the executive owner of the AI agenda across Global Business Services and end-to-end business processes.

This is a highly visible leadership role with regular exposure to the Executive Team, where you will influence strategic decisions, shape the AI roadmap, and drive enterprise-wide adoption of Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Automation. You will be responsible for identifying where AI can create the greatest business value, defining the implementation roadmap, challenging existing ways of working, and ensuring successful execution and adoption across the organization.

As a member of the GBS Leadership Team, you will play a key role in transforming and digitalizing our global operations across Lead-to-Cash (L2C), Plan-to-Make (P2M), Record-to-Report (R2R), Procure-to-Pay (P2P) and Hire-to-Retire (H2R).

You will work in close partnership with Business Leaders, IT, Global Process Owners (GPOs), Regional GBS Business Partners, Shared Services teams and strategic external partners to ensure AI initiatives are aligned with business priorities and deliver measurable value.

This role is not about building AI models—it is about leading enterprise AI transformation, identifying business opportunities, selecting the right technologies and partners in close cooperation with IT, challenging assumptions, and ensuring AI delivers sustainable business impact through measurable adoption metrics.

Some international travel will be required.
