Executive Director, Enterprise Agent Platform

We're looking for an exceptional technology leader and hands-on builder who wants to help redefine how a global entertainment company operates through AI.

This is an opportunity to build, lead, and scale Sony Pictures Entertainment's enterprise AI agent ecosystem, creating the platforms, capabilities, and engineering practices that will transform how work gets done across the business.

reporting to the SVP, Enterprise Intelligence Platform, you'll own one of the company's most exciting emerging technology capabilities. You'll define our enterprise agent platform strategy, make critical technology decisions, and build and lead a high-performing team who turn ambitious ideas into production-ready solutions.

You'll remain deeply hands-on with the technology, actively shaping architecture, solving complex engineering challenges, and working alongside your team to deliver results. You'll be expected to stay at the forefront of a rapidly evolving AI landscape, continuously evaluating emerging technologies, challenging conventional approaches, and translating new possibilities into practical business solutions.

You'll work alongside leaders who value technical depth, intellectual curiosity, collaboration, and a bias for action. Success requires someone who can move seamlessly between strategy and execution, stay closely connected to the work happening across their own and partner teams, and bring the technical credibility to influence decisions at every level.

• Own the strategy, selection, architecture, and evolution of SPE's enterprise agent platforms. You'll evaluate emerging technologies, make critical platform decisions, and establish the engineering standards that enable AI agents to scale securely and effectively across the organization.
• You'll stay ahead of developments in agentic AI, continuously assessing new platforms, capabilities, and approaches while ensuring our technology decisions position SPE for both immediate impact and long-term success.

• This is not a traditional leadership role where you set direction and delegate the technical work. You'll remain actively engaged in architecture, engineering, prototyping, technical problem-solving, and critical design decisions.
• You'll set a high engineering bar, develop exceptional technical talent, and create a culture of curiosity, experimentation, ownership, and continuous improvement.

• You’ll take high-priority business opportunities from concept to production in weeks, not quarters.
• You'll champion a builder-oriented approach that prioritizes speed, simplicity, and measurable results. By leveraging native platform capabilities, connectors, and reusable components rather than unnecessarily developing custom applications, you'll help the team deliver solutions faster and more efficiently.
• You'll know when to experiment, when to make decisions, and when to scale and balance urgency with the engineering discipline needed to build reliable, enterprise-ready solutions.

• You'll establish reusable architectures, engineering patterns, and a shared pattern library that make every new solution faster to deliver, easier to maintain, and more effective than the last.
• You'll also own the agent registry, control plane, and Agent Ops capabilities, including monitoring, incident management, lifecycle management, and cost optimization. This will be to ensure a growing portfolio of enterprise AI agents remains secure, observable, reliable, and accountable.

• This role will require you to operate at the forefront of a rapidly changing AI landscape, bringing fresh thinking, technical insights, and emerging capabilities into SPE.
• You'll maintain a deep understanding of what's happening across your own engineering teams, adjacent technology organizations, and the broader AI ecosystem. Working closely with the AI and Data Platform, Software Factory, Forward Deployed Engineers, and business technology teams, you'll connect technical innovation with enterprise priorities and identify opportunities to accelerate delivery and increase impact.
• You'll be expected to challenge assumptions, share knowledge, influence technical…
