Every application we receive is personally reviewed by a member of our Talent Acquisition team - yes, a real person looks at your resume! While we use AI tools internally to streamline tasks like meeting notes, summaries, and administrative work, these tools never rank resumes, make hiring decisions, or influence candidate evaluations.

Job Summary

The Senior Transformation Director leads D2L’s Artificial Intelligence Transformation Office (AITO) program, which exists to change how D2L works by helping every team turn AI into real outcomes — faster execution, better decisions, and less time spent on the mundane. The role builds the literacy, confidence, and capability for teams to use AI effectively and responsibly, moving pragmatically, keeping it simple, and making responsible use of AI the default.

The Senior Director owns D2L’s AITO portfolio end to end and leads through influence — partnering with functional leaders across the business and technical teams to reimagine how core processes and emerging technology will transform D2L’s approach to work.

The Senior Director is accountable for the operational results of each initiative, measured in cycle time, cost to serve, quality, decision speed, and capacity returned to higher-value work. Process redesign and new technology are delivered as a single piece of work, since neither produces a result on its own. Functional teams lead the change in their own areas, supported by the method, patterns, and enablement this role provides, which keeps ownership and capability in the business after an initiative closes.

How will I make an impact?

AI Evangelism, Literacy, and Enablement

Develop AI literacy and capability across functions through enablement programs, cohorts, playbooks, office hours, and reusable patterns.
Make responsible use the default by building clear, simple guidance on appropriate use, data handling, and human oversight into everyday workflows
Establish reusable, governed design patterns for AI agents and use controlled review-and-improvement cycles to deliver reliable business outcomes more quickly.
Keep enablement and guidance current as internal tooling, platform capabilities, and the external AI landscape evolve.
Ensure every AI-enabled change carries the enablement, adoption, measurement, and support model needed to sustain it.

Portfolio Ownership and Governance

Partner with various business unit leaders to uncover operational friction points, identify high-impact AI use cases, and consolidate these into a unified AITO roadmap that drives operational change across the organization.
Ensure work is measured by sustained business outcomes — revenue growth, profitability, increased output, time returned, cycle time, quality, decision speed, and real adoption — not only by activity or implementation milestones.
Report portfolio health, adoption, and realized value to the AITO Steering Committee and senior leaders on a regular cadence.
Conduct retrospectives and embed lessons learned into D2L’s transformation methods, practices, and standards.
