Work Design Architect

Ongoing Responsibilities

• Own and steward the R&D Operating Blueprint — keep it current as the organization evolves, run periodic health checks, and make redesign calls when something isn't working
• Lead operating rhythm work: forum design, cadence changes, redesigns, and post-mortems — the ongoing drumbeat of keeping the operating model healthy
• Serve as the internal expert on AI-native process design — the go-to voice for "how do we build this as a system, not a document"

What you should have

• Deep experience in program management, organizational design, or operating model work — you think in systems, not projects
• A genuine point of view on how AI changes organizational dynamics, not just individual workflows — "decisions are now the bottleneck" should land immediately
• Demonstrated ability to design and implement operating models, not just document existing ones
• Experience working across a technical organization without authority — your influence comes from craft and accessibility, not the org chart
• Comfort making complex systems thinking legible to skeptical, busy audiences
• A "first-hire" mindset — you build structure where none exists and don't wait for permission to start
