About the Innovation Lab

Our Gen AI Innovation Lab is a 3-day, high-intensity program in which cross-functional teams redesign critical workflows and prototype AI-enabled solutions. Teams use tools such as Microsoft Copilot and low-code prototyping platforms to:

• Map current-state processes and identify bottlenecks
• Design future-state business experiences
• Build lightweight prototypes and demo them to senior leaders

All curriculum, materials, and agendas are pre-designed by Correlation One. The Lead Lab Architect is responsible for bringing this experience to life in the room.

Role Overview

As Lead Innovation Lab Architect, you are the primary facilitator and experience owner for the Lab. You will use the existing Lab design and materials to guide multiple teams from problem framing through prototyping and demos. You’ll keep the Lab on track, make the content relevant to the client’s business, and ensure teams receive sharp, actionable feedback throughout.

You will also coordinate with Business Transformation Coaches so that teams have consistent, high-quality support.

Key Responsibilities

Lab Delivery & Facilitation

• Lead all main-room segments of the Lab: openings & closings, discussions, and key activity briefings.
• Bring energy, structure, and clarity to each day while closely following the Lab agenda and learning objectives provided by Correlation One.
• Make complex Gen AI and business workflow concepts accessible for diverse professional audiences.
• Manage pacing and transitions so teams have the right amount of time for each phase of work.

Connecting Work to Business Outcomes

• Ask probing questions that tie team ideas back to business strategy, metrics, risk, and feasibility.
• Synthesize team outputs into a holistic business blueprint for senior leaders.

Coach Coordination & Quality Management

• Support Business Transformation Coaches to review team artifacts (journey maps, process decompositions, capability maps, prototypes, agent charters), provide clear, constructive feedback, and articulate compelling business cases and demo narratives for senior leaders.
• Observe how coaches are supporting teams; offer real-time guidance to ensure consistency of language, frameworks, and quality.
• Serve as the escalation point for tricky team dynamics or design challenges.

Stakeholder & Client Partnership

• Partner with client sponsors and Correlation One program managers on logistics, expectations, and success measures.
• Co-lead daily check-ins with client leadership to share themes, celebrate progress, and adjust emphasis where needed.
• Contribute to a concise post-Lab summary of key outcomes, patterns, and recommended next steps.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience facilitating executive-level workshops, strategy sessions, innovation labs, or transformation programs for enterprise clients.
• Exceptional facilitation and executive presence—able to command a room, build trust quickly, and create a psychologically safe yet high-performance environment.
  Demonstrated ability to guide groups through the design process: from problem framing through to prototypes or pitches using a provided curriculum or playbook.
• Strong business acumen; comfortable discussing strategy, operations, and metrics with VP+ and C-level leaders.
• Familiarity with Gen AI concepts and tools (e.g., Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini); you don’t need to be an engineer, but you should be a confident power user.
• Excellent coaching and feedback skills; able to challenge teams while remaining supportive and solution-oriented.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills and comfort working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
• Willingness to travel on-site for Lab delivery.

How to Apply

Please submit the following:

1. Resume
2. A brief overview document which highlights relevant facilitation experience, especially with senior audiences
3. Within the overview, please include a link to a short sample (1–2 minutes) video clip of you facilitating or presenting
