The Impact of a Principal Agentic Architect at Coupa:

The Principal Agentic Architect is the primary visionary for Coupa’s most strategic AI-led engagements. You are responsible for setting the "North Star" for how a customer’s procurement and finance organization will evolve from human-led manual tasks to Agentic-led orchestration.

You are a process architect who thinks in "intents" and "outcomes." You will partner with C-suite stakeholders to identify high-impact workflows where Agentic AI can be deployed, creating the strategic blueprint that the Agentic Architects and Enterprise Solution Managers will then build into reality.

What You'll Do:

• AI Opportunity Mapping: Lead workshops to deconstruct legacy procurement workflows and identify where Coupa Agents (native or custom) can drive the highest ROI.
• Agentic Deployment Strategy: Help clients determine the "where" and "how" of agent deployment, deciding which processes should be fully autonomous vs. human-in-the-loop.
• Target Operating Model Design: Define the future-state metrics (KPIs) that the AI transformation must achieve, ensuring they align with board-level goals.
• Maturity Audit: Evaluate the customer’s AI Readiness across three lenses: Culture (willingness to trust agents), Data (is the intelligence layer fueled correctly?), and Process (is the workflow "agent-ready"?).
• Blocker Mitigation: Identify internal policy or workforce hurdles early and partner with leadership to dismantle them.
• Organizational Change (OCM): Advise on workforce shifts, including the creation of AI Centers of Excellence (COE) and the retraining of staff to manage an "AI Workforce."
• Policy Transformation: Guide customers on updating internal governance to allow for autonomous agent actions (e.g., automated contract redlining or tail-spend negotiation).
