We are always looking for exceptional talent to join us on the journey! The SVP, Head of Agentic Engineering and Acceleration will lead the company's global transformation toward agentic software engineering and establish agentic development as a core enterprise capability. This executive will build and lead a specialized global engineering organization responsible for delivering production-grade software through agentic capabilities, establishing the company-wide Agentic Delivery Lifecycle (ADLC), and accelerating adoption across the broader product and technology organization. The organization will begin with approximately 10 to 15 highly skilled engineers, architects, platform specialists, and agentic-development leaders, and grow into a larger global engineering body as demand and demonstrated value increase. The team will operate as an agentic-native engineering organization. Approved agents, skills, workflows, and automated platforms will be used across the software lifecycle; conventional, manually intensive development will not be its standard delivery model. Engineers will direct, orchestrate, supervise, validate, and improve autonomous and semi-autonomous agents rather than primarily code through traditional methods. The team will also serve as the proving ground for the company's future engineering model, establishing the platforms, controls, practices, talent model, and reusable capabilities required to scale agentic-native development globally. The successful candidate will combine leadership of large, distributed technology organizations with deep expertise in software engineering, generative AI, agentic systems, platforms, security, and transformation. The role will collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, Enterprise Architecture, Platform Engineering, Information Security, Data, Risk, Compliance, Finance, and business AI leadership. It will support, but not own, the AI-powered product portfolio or AI adoption within nontechnology business functions. Key Responsibilities 1. Agentic Strategy and Global Adoption • Define and execute the multiyear strategy and roadmap for agentic product and engineering across the company's global technology organization. • Establish adoption objectives by engineering function, product domain, geography, technology stack, and maturity, moving teams from controlled experimentation to governed production use and agentic-first practices. • Partner with global product and engineering leaders to embed agentic capabilities into delivery models, processes, organizational structures, and accountabilities. • Identify and remove technical, organizational, cultural, talent, process, and governance barriers to adoption. • Establish executive governance and reporting covering adoption, investment, delivery outcomes, risk, cost, and realized business value. 2. Agentic-Native Engineering Organization • Build and lead an initial team of approximately 10 to 15 engineers, architects, platform specialists, and agentic-development leaders, scaling it into a larger global engineering or
