Mandate The Deputy General Manager, Agentic AI works alongside the General Manager to explore new use cases, advance promising opportunities, and execute priority projects across the Agentic AI business. The portfolio consists of licensed products built on Trase OS and developed via Arena and the SDK—not Trase itself, but what we build, license, and sell on top of it. This is a hands-on role for a versatile professional who can rapidly bring structure to ambiguous problems and drive outcomes across technical, commercial, and operational teams. You will be a utility player with room to grow: investigating a mission need, shaping a potential solution, coordinating a pilot, or stepping into a delivery challenge as priorities require. Your scope will be defined with the GM and may vary by project. You will own some initiatives directly, execute others on the GM’s behalf, and transition work to strategy, sales, product, engineering, or delivery teams when appropriate. The GM retains overall accountability for the business and its operating P&L; you help turn priorities into concrete progress. Core Responsibilities Use-Case Exploration and Development • Investigate government mission needs and workflows to identify practical applications for agentic AI. • Turn broad ideas into clear problem statements, use-case briefs, and proposed next steps, including key assumptions, dependencies, and open questions. • Work with product and engineering teams to assess feasibility and determine what is needed to test a concept. • Gather evidence and quantify possible impact to help the GM decide which ideas to advance, refine, hand off, or stop. Cross-Functional Coordination and Handoffs • Work with strategy to help identify potential customers, validate demand, and assess where an emerging use case could gain traction. • Coordinate with sales, product, engineering, and delivery teams to connect mission needs with a path to execution; support proposals or other capture activities as needed. • Prepare useful handoffs that capture the problem, work completed, supporting evidence, unresolved questions, and recommended next steps. • Establish clear ownership at transitions and stay involved as needed to maintain momentum or troubleshoot through delivery. Project Execution • Own defined projects or workstreams, with objectives, decision authority, and deliverables agreed with the GM. • Build practical work plans, coordinate contributors, track milestones, and surface risks or decisions early. • Support pilots, prototypes, and customer engagements, including preparation, follow-through, and coordination of next steps. • Step directly into execution when that is the fastest way to deliver a result. Business and Operational Support • Prepare concise analyses, decision briefs,
