Head of AI SDLC Center of Excellence IRC285799

Description GlobalLogic is seeking a highly experienced and strategic leader to fill the role of Head of AI SDLC Center of Excellence. This is a Global/Remote-First opportunity at Associate Vice President/ Vice President level. Requirements Engineering Pedigree: 15+ years in software engineering, with at least 5 years in senior leadership roles overseeing large-scale (1,000+ person) organizations. AI Fluency: Deep understanding of the LLM landscape, RAG architectures, and the emerging field of AI Agents (AutoGPT, LangChain, etc.). The “Services” Mindset: Experience in a global professional services or consulting firm is highly preferred. You understand the nuances of billable efficiency and client-facing delivery. Architectural Vision: Ability to distinguish between “hype” and sustainable engineering practices. You know when to use an agent and when a simple script (or a human) is better. Communication: Exceptional ability to translate complex technical shifts into a compelling value proposition for C-suite clients. Collaboration: Ability to collaborate across timezones, cultures and teams. Work internally across our delivery organizations and CTO organizations to accelerate value delivery and adoption. Job responsibilities Strategy & Governance Define the AI-Augmented SDLC: Establish the gold standard for how AI—from LLM-assisted coding to autonomous agents—is integrated into every phase of the lifecycle (Discovery, Design, Dev, Test, Deploy). Policy & Ethics: Define guardrails for AI usage, including IP protection, security vulnerability scanning for AI-generated code, and bias mitigation. Tooling & Platform Engineering The AI Workbench: Oversee the selection and rollout of tools (e.g., GlobalLogic’s VelocityAI SDLC, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, internal LLM gateways, and automated PR review agents). Agentic Workflows: Design and implement “Agentic” practices where autonomous AI agents handle routine tasks like documentation, unit test generation, and legacy code refactoring. Global Enablement & Coaching Change Management: Lead the cultural shift across global delivery centers, moving teams away from manual toil toward high-leverage engineering. Client Advisory: Partner with client-side stakeholders to co-create AI roadmaps, reassuring them of the quality and security of AI-accelerated delivery. Metrics & ROI Establish KPIs to measure the impact of AI on engineering velocity, code quality, and developer experience (DevEx). Report directly to executive leadership on the ROI of CoE initiatives.
