About the role
THE OPPORTUNITY:
Reporting to the Executive Director of Architecture and Planning, the Director of the AI Office leads a newly established Center of Excellence responsible for the strategic direction, governance, and delivery of artificial intelligence capabilities across the Government of Saskatchewan. This is a foundational leadership role with the mandate to build the AI Office from the ground up – hiring the team, establishing governance frameworks, managing multi-million-dollar vendor engagements, and ensuring that AI adoption across ministries is safe, ethical, equitable, and aligned with the province’s strategic priorities.
The Director serves as the government’s principal advisor on AI strategy, responsible AI practices, and emerging technology trends. The role requires navigating complex stakeholder environments – engaging Deputy Ministers, ADMs, ministry IT directors, federal partners (including alignment with the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act – AIDA), interprovincial AI working groups, and industry vendors.
The Director manages the AI Office’s operating budget, oversees capital investment programs for platform deployment and governance tooling, and is accountable for benefit realization reporting to the CIO and executive leadership. The role also serves as the centralized governance authority for AI adoption across all ministries, ensuring data protection, policy compliance, and measurable productivity gains.
