Transformation Strategy Manager

Overview

Operate as the day-to-day lead inside Abnormal's AI Transformation team, translating transformation vision into shippable requirements and running the cross-functional cadence and analytics that prove whether AI-redesigned processes work.

What you'll do

• Translate transformation vision into shippable requirements for AI PMs and engineers, then drive cross-functional execution to ship.
• Build and maintain the enterprise capability map: who owns what, how it is done today, and where AI fits.
• Run transformation intake, prioritization, and operating cadence to keep the highest-value initiatives sequenced, resourced, and moving across functions.
• Define solution paths for each prioritized transformation, covering what humans do, what AI does, what systems do, and the rationale behind the call.
• Own the measurement layer for transformation: ROI analysis, business value assessment, metric trees, instrumentation, and the analytics surface used by the executive team.
• Drive role redesign, change management, and adoption with People COEs and functional leaders so transformations land in how people work.
• Lead company-wide AI initiatives end-to-end, from problem framing through rollout, that drive step-change improvements crossing three or more functions.

What you'll need

• Five or more years in investment banking or top-tier management consulting, with a track record of moving fast on ambiguous, high-stakes problems.
• Demonstrated first-principles thinking: able to take a vague brief, reframe it, and build the case for what to do in a way that holds up to scrutiny from sharp executives.
• Strong quantitative and analytical skills, including building a metric tree from scratch, pulling and structuring data, modeling scenarios, and presenting results without analyst help between you and the spreadsheet.
• Hands-on AI fluency: uses frontier AI tools every day for real work, has built or rebuilt at least one process around AI, and can speak credibly about where current AI is useful versus where it falls over.
• Cross-functional operator instincts: has run multi-stakeholder initiatives without formal authority over the people whose work was needed, and can describe how alignment was gained, tradeoffs made, and work shipped.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication: can write the one-pager, build the deck, and defend the recommendation in front of a leadership team.
• Bias for action and high tolerance for ambiguity.

Nice to have

• Technical degree in CS, engineering, math, physics, or another quantitative field.
• Direct experience redesigning a workflow around AI, even at the individual or team level.
• Prior exposure to a fast-growing technology company, ideally in security, infrastructure, or enterprise SaaS.
• Experience with the operating mechanics of a transformation, change management, or strategy office, including governance, prioritization frameworks, and executive reporting.
