AI Orchestrator Lead. The role, the market signal, and how to build it in your org.
Owns the layer between agents and people. Designs and runs the multi-agent workflows: which agent does what, where humans stay in the loop, how handoffs and escalations work. The conductor of agentic operations, emerging as teams move from single agents to coordinated swarms.
In a workforce of people and AI agents, this role takes shape around the workflows it supports. Define its responsibilities and handoffs, then prepare people to perform that work.
