Principal, AI & Cloud Strategy Programs

Ensure that every initiative across the AI, FinOps, and CloudOps portfolio — current or newly emerging — is planned, coordinated, tracked, and delivered to a decision-ready standard. The responsibilities below are representative of how this mission is met today; the role is expected to flex as the portfolio and the AI landscape evolve.

This role has a strong preference for Hybrid 3x a week in-office at our Boston location.

• Execute the AI and cloud program portfolio set by the Head of AI Strategy — build and maintain roadmaps, run the delivery cadences, and drive initiatives to completion.
• Produce executive-ready analysis and materials — build the business cases, ROI models, status reporting, and leadership and Board decks.
• Coordinate FinOps and CloudOps delivery hands-on — turn cost data and dashboards into actionable reporting, and chase optimization and savings actions to closure.
• Run intake and prioritization operations — manage the pipeline, document proposals, and prepare recommendations for the Head of AI Strategy’s decision.
• Drive vendor and tool evaluations — run assessments, comparisons, and pilots of AI platforms; manage day-to-day vendor relationships.
• Take ownership of new and emerging programs, analyses, and operational needs across AI, FinOps, and CloudOps as they arise — including workload types not yet defined — at the direction of the Head of AI Strategy.
• Maintain the program operating rhythm — cadences, OKR tracking, risk and dependency logs, and resource mapping.
• Implement and maintain AI governance processes — keep reviews, documentation, and monitoring running against the framework defined by leadership.

• Completes all special projects and other duties as assigned.

• Must be able to perform duties with or without reasonable accommodation.

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Economics, or a related field.

• Hands-on program and project execution across complex, cross-functional initiatives.

• Builds business cases, financial models, trackers, and executive materials directly (not by delegation).

• Demonstrated adaptability and learning agility — quickly takes ownership of unfamiliar, ambiguous, or newly emerging problems and builds the structure to deliver them; comfortable in a fast-changing domain where responsibilities will evolve.

• Strong organization and follow-through — drives actions to closure with minimal oversight.

• Clear written and verbal communication for executive audiences.

• Familiarity with cloud cost management / FinOps concepts; business-level AI/ML literacy (engineering depth not required).

• Handles confidential cost, financial, and strategic information with discretion.
