About iTmethods

iTmethods is a 20+ year enterprise technology company transforming into an AI-native platform company. We currently serve over 100 enterprise customers across multiple regulated industries. We are building an AI Governance product needed by enterprise companies in regulated industries such as financial services, defense, pharma, healthcare, and semiconductors, etc.

iTmethods' Platform consists of three main products:

Reign - Enterprise AI Governance Platform. Real-time policy enforcement for every LLM call and AI agent interaction. Trust, compliance, and data sovereignty.

Forge - DevOps managed services platform for regulated enterprises.

BioCompute - Life Sciences AI platform for pharma and biotech.

The EU AI Act high-risk obligations take effect in August, 2026. Enterprises need production-grade AI governance now. Reign delivers true runtime policy enforcement and AI governance.

Role

We are looking for an experienced professional to lead customer delivery of AI Governance solutions to enterprise clients in multiple regulated industries. We are building an outcome-based delivery model. This is not a traditional professional services leadership role. The person in this role will architect an outcome-based delivery model from scratch.

You’ll act as a builder, and the head of the delivery function with ability to scale in the AI-native organization we are creating. The role requires the flexibility to lead an existing team of delivery professionals, while simultaneously architecting the new delivery model (embedded, outcome-based, value-priced) that includes measurable business results for regulated enterprises adopting governed AI and modern DevOps solutions. This role will shape how iTmethods’ platform is delivered to customers and how value is measured, priced, and captured. iTmethods has a startup mindset, backed by over 20 years of operating credibility, and strong enterprise customer relationships.

The work you will do at iTmethods will be high impact and will directly shape the company’s trajectory and future. This is a foundational hire, not a backfill. The compensation package reflects that, including equity participation structured for value creation.

Your first 90 days will include:



stand up delivery playbooks for the Enterprise AI Governance Platform including onboarding frameworks, success metrics, and value pricing. Work closely with the CRO to close enterprise customers. Manage and evolve the existing professional services business. Start building a high performance team.

Develop reference architectures, maturity assessments, and trust frameworks that become repeatable, sellable IP

Manage & Evolve Existing Services Function

Recruit, develop, and retain team members who create with AI, not just manage AI projects





Push AI-native operating norms throughout the delivery organization

You Have:

Designed and built an outcome-based, value-priced, or embedded delivery model - not just managed T&M; or fixed-fee engagements

Experience with AI Governance - your prior work experience could include: a Big 4 AI risk practice, an AI governance position at a regulated enterprise, a role at an AI GRC platform/technology company, or a Responsible AI function at a Hyperscaler

Nice To Have:

Led a business model transformation in a prior role

Built something from zero inside an established company (i.e. a new function, product, or business line)

DevOps, platform engineering, or infrastructure background

You Are:

A builder - your first instinct is to create, prototype, and iterate, not to reach for process and structure

Strategic but hands-on - you can roll up your sleeves

Scrappy - you move quick, operate in ambiguity, and don’t wait for perfect information

Obsessed with customer outcomes

Comfortable in a startup/scale-up environment

The company offers multiple benefits, including the following:

Strong compensation package (base salary, annual performance bonus, equity)

Extended health/dental benefits plan

Learning budget for professional development
