What you'll do
The Director, Engineering Performance & AI Metrics defines how the organization measures engineering and agile delivery performance at scale, with a specific focus on how “performance” changes as AI becomes embedded in agile ways of working. This role is accountable for establishing an Agile & AI performance measurement practice, including the standards, tooling, governance, visualization and story-telling, team structure, and operating routines needed to measure delivery flow, predictability, quality, business value, and the impact of GenAI and automation.

Define enterprise measurement frameworks for agile delivery and AI-enabled ways of working, covering flow, predictability, quality, value realization, team health, adoption, and productivity impact.
Augment traditional agile performance metrics with new KPIs that reflect total system health in an agentic landscape, including human-AI collaboration, automation effectiveness, work orchestration, quality signals, risk, governance, and team sustainability.
Own the Engineering performance analytics platform strategy and roadmap, including data quality, governance, tooling integration, investment recommendations, and scalable visibility across engineering and agile delivery.
