Role Summary :

Apexon is seeking an experienced Agentic Engineering Capability Transfer Lead to help a large engineering organization independently operate, govern, and scale agentic delivery. This role will lead the transition from execution-heavy engineering practices to judgment-led ways of working. You will define the roles, capability standards, learning journeys, governance controls, and staged transfer mechanisms required to embed sustainable agentic engineering capabilities across the client organization.

Key Responsibilities :

- Assess the client's current AI capabilities, engineering practices, organizational readiness, and role-level capability gaps.

- Position skills inventories as mechanisms for measuring organizational capability, not as tools for individual surveillance.

- Identify and seed the client's internal core team, prioritizing individuals with strong product, engineering, and codebase knowledge.

- Establish the roles required to support the agentic delivery model, including : Agent Supervisor, Verification and Evidence Owner, Harmonization Architect and Harness/Platform Engineer.

- Develop role profiles, competency expectations, learning journeys, assessment methods, and calibration criteria for each new role.

- Lead a staged capability-transfer model across seed, shadow, co-own, and own phases.

- Transfer responsibility only after role owners have demonstrated independent and audited performance against agreed thresholds.

- Establish reviewer calibration as a measurable governance control, including : Inter-reviewer agreement, False-approval rates and Approval-time drift.

- Coach engineering and product teams in specification engineering, ensuring requirements and acceptance criteria are clear, complete, and testable enough to support agentic delivery.

- Design and lead Communities of Practice, practical labs, coaching interventions, and train-the-trainer programs.

- Define adoption, capability-transfer, and readiness KPIs at team and value-stream levels.

- Partner with Engineering, HR, Learning and Development, and senior leadership to manage role transitions and capability-building strategies.

- Lead stakeholder communications, resistance management, facilitation, and leadership reinforcement activities.

Mandatory Skills :

- 10+ years of experience in Organizational change, Enterprise transformation, Learning and capability development, or Technology adoption leadership.

- Proven experience leading capability transfer within technology or engineering transformations involving multiple interdependent workstreams.

- Strong understanding of AI-enabled software engineering and harness engineering practices.

- Ability to translate AI-enabled engineering practices into changes across roles, skills, workflows, governance controls, and operating models.

- Experience designing competency assessments, readiness evaluations, or calibration mechanisms.

- Strong capabilities in stakeholder engagement, facilitation, curriculum design, communications, and resistance management.

Nice to Have Skills :

- Experience working in a regulated industry.

- Certification in change management, learning and development, or program management.
