VP, AI Transformation

At Compass Datacenters, we aren’t just looking for someone to manage software; we are looking for the architect of our "Enterprise Brain." We are evolving from a traditional SaaS-based ERP shop into an agile, AI-first organization. Your mission is to lead the Application teams in building an intelligent orchestration layer that sits on top of our existing tools. You will move us from being a passive consumer of software to an active orchestrator of AI, ensuring our technology strategy delivers exponential efficiency and aligns perfectly with our organizational goals.

  Define and execute the roadmap to transition Compass from passive SaaS consumption to an active AI-orchestration model.
• Exponential Efficiency:
  Prioritize and deploy AI use cases that drive radical improvements in ERP workflows across Finance, HR, and Supply Chain.
• Modern Standards:
  Set and evolve IT standards for our core stack—including Net Suite, Procore, and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC)—ensuring every application is managed with an AI-first mindset.

• "The Co-Pilot" Model:
  Act as the primary evangelist for "AI-First" thinking, moving the IT organization from a ticket-taker mindset to a strategic "co-pilot" partnership with business units.
• Agile Mentorship:
  Mentor and grow the IT team to embrace an agile mindset, fostering a culture of continuous delivery and rapid iteration.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  
  Partner with Design, Construction, Innovation, Safety, and Finance to optimize processes and implement scalable, intelligent solutions.

• Vendor Accountability:
  Shift vendor management from traditional waterfall models to AI-driven performance metrics, holding partners accountable for their generative AI roadmaps.
• Interoperability:
  Ensure all external SaaS tools integrate seamlessly with our internal AI stack.
• Operational Excellence:
  Maintain high standards for service delivery while managing the risks associated with rapid AI transformation.

• Transformation Architect:
  You have a track record of leading significant digital transformations. You’ve moved organizations away from "legacy thinking" into modern, automated, or AI-driven environments.
• Ecosystem Expertise:
  You have deep, hands-on familiarity with enterprise platforms (ideally Net Suite, Procore, or ACC) and understand how to extract value from them beyond their out-of-the-box features.
• AI Implementation:
  You can demonstrate instances where you have successfully integrated AI or advanced automation into business workflows to solve real-world problems.
• Leadership Performance:
  You have a history of building high-performing teams, mentoring technical talent, and successfully managing stakeholders at the executive level.

• The "Enterprise Brain" Visionary:
  You see software not as a destination, but as a data source for a larger, more intelligent system.
• Agile & Adaptable:
  You thrive in ambiguity and prefer iterative progress over rigid, multi-year waterfall plans.
• Business-Centric:
  You speak the language of Finance, Construction, and HR. You view technology as a tool to solve business problems, not an end in itself.
• Radical Curiosity:
  You are constantly learning and experimenting with the latest in AI/ML and Generative AI/LLM orchestration to stay ahead of the curve.
