Role Purpose
AI is rapidly becoming a new layer of capability that augments how scientists, engineers, and developers work — through AI assistants, domain copilots, co-scientists, software agents, and increasingly autonomous learning loops. We are hiring a Director of AI Transformation & Portfolio to lead that shift across our Technology Community: deliberately, coherently, and at scale.
This is a rare opportunity to lead an enterprise-wide AI transformation inside a global R&D organization with the scientific depth, industrial reach, and real-world problems that make AI meaningful. You will shape strategy, portfolio, foundations, partnerships, and talent — working with senior technology leaders, category leads across the Technology Community, IT Digital, and external partners across the AI ecosystem.
What you will do
- Lead Corning's Technology Community AI/Data transformation portfolio spanning materials discovery, product and process development, manufacturing intelligence, software productivity, knowledge access, decision support, data foundations, and workforce AI fluency.
- Advance the horizontal capabilities that all AI depends on — data, software, and compute — including HPC, cloud, GPUs, model serving, and infrastructure for foundation models, digital twins, and agentic AI.
