The RoleYour RoleAs a Director of Data & AI Consult at Kyndryl, you will be a catalyst for enterprise transformation, unleashing the potential of data and artificial intelligence to propel our customers' organizations forward. Combining deep business acumen with advanced technical expertise, you will partner with executive stakeholders to envision, conceptualize, and execute strategic Data and AI programs that reshape their business and IT landscapes.
In this leadership role, you will bridge the gap between high-level advisory and end-to-end delivery. You will shape comprehensive Data and AI operating models, craft innovative approaches to design, build, deploy, and govern complex models, and oversee large-scale transformation initiatives from initial roadmap through to measurable business outcomes.
What You Will Do- Partner with C-suite and senior customer stakeholders to define enterprise Data and AI strategies, operating models, and multi-year transformation roadmaps.
- Lead end-to-end delivery of complex, large-scale Data and AI transformation programs spanning 18 to 24 months, ensuring accountability for implementation outcomes, timelines, and risk mitigation.
- Architect and oversee major cloud data platform implementations and migrations, such as transitioning legacy on-premises SAS data warehouses to modern cloud environments like Snowflake or Databricks.
- Design, build, deploy, and establish governance frameworks for scalable, production-grade Data and AI models tailored to unique customer challenges.
- Facilitate high-impact executive workshops and consulting engagements to educate customers on emerging AI frameworks, technologies, and data monetization opportunities.
- Apply structured analytical rigor to diagnose complex business problems, formulate hypotheses, and align technical architectures with functional business requirements.
- Mentor and guide multidisciplinary consulting teams, fostering a culture of technical excellence, innovation, and customer-centric delivery.

- Exceptional executive presence with the ability to lead senior-level workshops, translate complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders, and align IT and business objectives.
- Experience leading, mentoring, and scaling high-performing consulting and technical delivery teams in fast-paced environments.
Preferred Skills and Experience- Relevant cloud and data platform certifications (e.g., Snowflake SnowPro, Databricks Certified Architect, AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Experience managing commercial P&L, practice growth, or pre-sales solutioning for enterprise consulting engagements.
