Description

Role Overview

As Gordon Brothers advances its enterprise-wide digital transformation agenda, artificial intelligence (AI) has become central to the way we modernize operations, enhance decision-making, and deliver innovative client solutions. We are seeking to build applied AI capabilities within the organization—focused on practical, value-driven implementations rather than research or theoretical development.

This role will enable our Digital Transformation team to accelerate delivery of AI-powered tools and automations using low-code and no-code platforms and industry leading LLMs. These environments are already embedded within our digital ecosystem and represent the fastest path to scalable AI adoption across business units.

The AI Specialist will act as a bridge between software engineering and business operations—helping teams leverage AI safely, efficiently, and responsibly. This position aligns with Gordon Brothers’ strategic goals of enhancing productivity, operational resilience, and data-driven decision-making.

The ideal candidate will combine technical fluency with a pragmatic approach to business transformation, enabling Gordon Brothers to leverage AI safely and effectively across internal and client-facing applications.

This individual will work closely with the Managing Director of Digital Transformation to define the AI roadmap, establish best practices, and enable cross-functional collaboration. The role requires a balance of technical proficiency, business acumen, and innovative problem-solving.
