Chief AI Officer - JD Group

Job Summary

Chief AI Officer (CAIO) – CORA – Located Remote (North America) with periodic travel for portfolio visits and acquisition diligence.

This is a transformation mandate, not a strategy-only role. You will lead the full-scale transformation of business units from SLDC (Software‑Led Delivery Capability) to AI DLC (AI‑Driven Delivery Capability) by year-end, starting with two key business units and rolling out across the VMS portfolio.

• Convert two priority BUs to AI‑driven delivery within months.
• Architect and deploy a scalable AI operating model across all BUs.
• Embed AI into core workflows: delivery, operations, client lifecycle, and decision‑making.
• Drive quantifiable gains in margin, productivity, quality, and speed.
• Institutionalize AI as a core enterprise capability.

• Proven track record leading enterprise AI transformation at scale.
• Experience operationalizing AI in production environments across multiple business units.
• Demonstrated P&L impact from AI implementation.
• Experience in SaaS, VMS, workforce tech, or complex enterprise platforms strongly preferred.
• Ability to operate at both board‑level strategy and hands‑on execution depth.
• Strong change leadership across cross‑functional teams.
• Comfortable setting enterprise vision and working directly with product, engineering, and operations teams to ship outcomes.

• By year‑end, two BUs fully operating under AI‑driven delivery models.
• Enterprise AI playbook built and scaling.
• Tangible margin expansion and efficiency gains.
• AI embedded into how we operate— not layered on top.

• Enterprise transformer – Operator first, strategist second.
• Comfortable with accountability and hard deadlines.
• Decisive, data‑driven, commercially sharp.
• Energized by building what does not yet exist.

This is a defining leadership role with direct CEO partnership and enterprise‑wide impact. You will not inherit an AI function; you will build and deliver it.

Competitive base salary and performance‑based bonus tied to group and strategic outcomes. Long‑term incentive opportunities reflecting Constellation’s “buy‑and‑hold” philosophy. Flexible work options, comprehensive benefits, professional development support, and a strong career path within Jonas/CORA/Constellation with lateral and upward opportunities.
