We are seeking a Regional AI Run Lead to lead AI-native engineering across CEE, focusing on delivery leadership and client work.

Responsibilities

  • Own AI maturity across CEE: assess every delivery center in the region, assign local owners and cadences, and move teams toward production-scale AI-native delivery
  • Lead the three pillars of the CEE AI/Run organization, setting priorities and allocating capacity across accounts
  • Engage early in RFPs and renewals; shape managed-output and fixed-fee commercial structures and move engagements away from time-and-materials
  • Grow AI-native engineering capacity through structured enablement and a pipeline of senior talent ready for forward deployment
  • Represent AI maturity and transformation credibility in the client conversations where regional deals are decided
  • Harvest reusable assets, accelerators and delivery patterns from regional projects and land them in the global framework
  • Build and lead a cross-location core team of AI solution architects, forward deployed practitioners and engineering squads delivering flagship projects
  • Report against outcome metrics: maturity score movement, signed AI-native / managed-output SOWs, trained talent volume, client revenue and margin impact, and assets adopted by other regions

Requirements

  • Senior delivery or engineering leadership with a hands-on record of shipping AI-native work, not advisory only
  • Comfortable owning a P&L-adjacent commercial number
  • Direct, practical experience with AI-assisted engineering tools and agentic delivery approaches
  • Experience shaping SOWs, RFPs and outcome-based commercial models, and negotiating scope with senior client stakeholders
  • Track record of building or scaling accelerators, reusable assets or engineering platforms across teams
  • Experience operating across regions, delivery centers or large-scale programs
  • Strong bias toward sharing proven approaches across geographies
  • Credibility to make maturity judgments that directly influence client decisions

  • Diverse multicultural, multi-functional, and multilingual work environment
  • Opportunities for personal and career growth in a progressive industry
