As the builder, you will incubate Next Generation capabilities and emerging technologies like AI agents, working directly with Integration Leads and deal teams on active deals to experiment, refine, and deploy new tools and approaches.\nYou will prioritize and pilot what shows the most promise, measure impact, and graduate validated capabilities into standard practice. Partnering with the IMO and deal teams from diligence through execution, you will activate governance and best practices - including new AI-enabled tools - on every integration, validate plans, strengthen readiness, and surface process risks early. You will simplify and standardize processes, coach adoption of AI and other new capabilities across the integration community, and assemble practitioner feedback, adoption metrics, and process performance - using AI-driven insights to feed continuous improvement back into the methodology and roadmap.\nMinimum Requirements:\nBS/BA degree or equivalent experience in Business, Finance, or a related field. \n6-8 years of experience in program management, business process transformation, or a similar business operations role, ideally within M&A integration or a large, matrixed organization. \nDemonstrated experience designing or redesigning operating models, methodologies, or business processes. \nExperience piloting or applying AI tools to improve business processes or decision-making. \nStrong analytical, communication, and organizational skills, with the ability to resolve issues quickly and efficiently. \nPreferred Qualifications:\nHands-on M&A integration experience spanning both integration build and deal execution. \nHands-on experience building and deploying AI agents, automations, or other AI-enabled tools, from prototype through production adoption. \nStrong process build and process intelligence skills - using KPIs, metrics, and operational analytics to identify bottlenecks and prioritize improvements. \nExperience coaching teams and driving adoption \n·Executive presence and change leadership skills, with the ability to align stakeholders and build sponsorship for new ways of working. \nWhy Cisco?\nAt Cisco, we’re revolutionizing how data and infrastructure connect and protect organizations in the AI era - and beyond.
