Senior Director, AI Solutions & Delivery

The Opportunity Kilroy Realty is building its data foundation. The enterprise data platform is underway, organization-wide AI deployment is in motion, and a significant business transformation is being shaped right now. The question is not whether AI has a role  is whether we get the most from it while that work is still in progress and the right decisions can still be made.

We are looking for a Sr. Director, AI Solutions & Delivery to make sure the answer is yes.

This is not a strategy role or an advisory role. It is a player-coach position for someone who can assess where AI changes what the right answer looks like, build solutions directly on our data platform, evaluate commercial tools with firsthand technical judgment, and communicate clearly to executive leadership without getting anyone lost in the technology. You will be grounded in IT but your work happens inside leasing, asset management, finance, and operations.

You will own a delivery roadmap that is visible across the organization.

The right person for this role sees a business process under redesign and immediately knows where AI makes it better, where it does not, and what to build first.

What You Will Do Embed in the Business Work directly inside Kilroy's business functions from day one. Build working relationships across the organization, identify where AI changes the right answer in workflows and decisions already in motion, and act on it before those decisions get locked in. Build Custom AI Applications Lead development of AI applications and agents on our enterprise data platform.

Prioritize use cases with clear business value, exercise independent judgment on architecture and build standards, and deliver solutions that work in production — not just in pilots.

Own the Build vs. Buy Pipeline Proactively identify, evaluate, and pilot commercial AI products aligned to business objectives. Evaluate vendors with real technical judgment, not just feature checklists. Develop clear recommendations for leadership with honest analysis of what works, what does not, and why.

Drive the AI Roadmap Maintain and execute a sequenced AI delivery roadmap with clear milestones, owners, and success metrics. Present progress and priorities to the CTO and executive team. Apply independent judgment on sequencing trade-offs and resource priorities.

Build Thought Leadership Shape how Kilroy thinks about AI — internally through clear communication to leadership and across the organization, and externally by representing Kilroy's AI perspective as the program matures. Translate what is happening in the market into what it means for Kilroy specifically.
