Sr. Director, AI Platform Engineering & Enablement
Ford Motor CompanyAbout the role
In this position...
This role requires a leader who brings deep technical knowledge of enterprise AI platforms and the strategic judgment to look across every platform EPEO offers — spanning leading AI and cloud platform providers — and define where AI belongs, what it should change, and how the organization gets there. This is not an operational role. It is the most forward-looking mandate in the platform organization: a cross-cutting AI strategy and enablement function with authority across all platform organizations.
The Senior Director, AI Platform Engineering & Enablement brings two equally weighted mandates. On the engineering side, this leader applies deep technical judgment to evaluate, architect, and govern how AI capabilities are integrated across EPEO’s platform portfolio — ensuring what is deployed is the right capability, properly engineered, and fit for the business functions it serves. On the enablement side, this leader ensures AI capabilities from our major providers are not just procured but actively activated, governed, and embedded into how our platforms operate. This person does not wait for the organization to ask what AI can do. They already know, and they have a plan.
What you'll do...
AI Portfolio Strategy & Platform Assessment
Own the cross-platform AI strategy across all of EPEO’s platform portfolio:
Maintain a comprehensive, enterprise-wide view of how AI is strategically positioned across every platform EPEO operates — what is deployed, what it is being used for across business functions, whether it is the right capability for the problem, and where gaps or redundancies exist
Continuously evaluate AI capabilities across all major providers and platforms against EPEO’s current operating model:
Leading cloud platform AI services and infrastructure
Enterprise AI assistant and productivity platforms
Frontier AI model providers and API platforms
Emerging AI providers and infrastructure primitives
Define and own the cross-platform AI strategy roadmap — a prioritized, forward-looking plan for how AI should evolve across the platform organization over the next one to three years
Identify where AI creates step-change opportunities in platform operations: what can be automated, augmented, or fundamentally re-architected rather than incrementally improved
Challenge existing platform assumptions — bring a clear-eyed view of where current approaches should be replaced by AI-native alternatives, not just enhanced by them
