Director, Kyndryl Consult Partner- Agentic Application Management- Remote US

Who We Are At Kyndryl, we design, build, manage and modernize the mission-critical technology systems that the world depends on every day. So why work at Kyndryl? We are always moving forward – always pushing ourselves to go further in our efforts to build a more equitable, inclusive world for our employees, our customers and our communities. The Role Kyndryl Consult is the fastest-growing business within the organization and instrumental to the company's strategic growth objectives. We are expanding every day to meet more clients and help solve their most challenging technology problems. Today, many of these problems center on reliably and affordably maintaining existing applications — and on harnessing the transformative potential of agentic AI to fundamentally change how that work gets done. As the paradigm shifts with AI, companies need to free their business resources to focus on creating the future — not maintaining the past. They expect managed providers to deploy intelligent, autonomous agents that proactively monitor, triage, remediate, and optimize application estates with minimal human intervention. Simultaneously, they look to trusted advisors who can guide them through this agentic transformation safely and at scale. We are expanding our capability to support these clients, and we need leaders on the team. As a Consult Partner, you will play a key leadership role — working with targeted clients to identify application support opportunities, guiding them through complex consulting engagements, and positioning strategic, AI-driven change agendas within Kyndryl's largest accounts across the C-suite. A core differentiator of this role is your ability to articulate, architect, and sell the value of agentic AI within application management systems. You will help clients understand and adopt a new operational model where autonomous AI agents act as always-on members of the support team — reasoning over system telemetry, executing multi-step remediation workflows, and escalating only the decisions that require human judgment. Key Responsibilities: You will work alongside leadership from Clients, Kyndryl Client and Delivery Leaders, market and and technology consult partners, and technical solution architects to lead our growth in agentic AMS. You will bring an agentic-first mindset to Kyndryl’s AMS business, leading cross functional teams to architect scalable AMS offerings, build compelling value propositions, and ensure the best of Kyndryl’s offering capabilities are brought to each growth opportunity.
