What You'll Do...

• Lead Program Strategy: Define and drive the strategic roadmap for AI initiatives, aligning development efforts with our company’s objectives.
• Identify Business Opportunities: Partner with different departments (e.g., sales, marketing, legal, professional services) to help them assess potential AI initiatives and their strategic impact.
• Manage End-to-End Delivery: Oversee the development, testing, and deployment of AI agents, ensuring efficient execution from start to finish.
• Ensure Safety and Quality: Implement frameworks to validate the quality, safety, and compliance of AI solutions, defining metrics and designing evaluation methodologies.

• Work Environment: Experience working in a fast-paced, multicultural company. Ability to work fully remote with colleagues across different time zones.
• Mindset: A generalist who can adapt to technical discussions but is primarily focused on program strategy, execution, and stakeholder management. While deep AI expertise is a plus, a strong curiosity and willingness to learn is essential.
