This role will sit at the intersection of business operations, data, engineering, and AI, helping teams turn manual workflows into scalable, secure, and measurable AI-enabled processes. What success looks like in this role: Success means enabling teams across the organization to use AI safely and with increasing independence, replacing manual processes with repeatable workflows, scaling high-impact use cases across functions, and delivering measurable improvements in productivity, quality, reliability, and operational risk. Responsibilities: Define and execute AI adoption roadmaps across business functions. Partner with Finance, Legal, HR, and other teams to identify high-value opportunities for AI, automation, and workflow improvement. Build monitoring and alerting for AI-powered data pipelines, integrations, and automations. Establish clear documentation for dashboards, metrics, data sources, ownership, and calculation logic. Operate an internal AI skills and automation program, including: User onboarding and enablement Contributor and skill-author approvals Security and governance reviews Adoption, usage, and quality tracking Build, launch and manage team-specific libraries of reusable AI skills, tools, and workflows. Develop and support internal AI champions and power users across the organization. Coordinate secure integrations between AI tools and enterprise systems, data platforms, APIs, spreadsheets, and third-party services. Partner with IT, Security, Engineering, Data, and business teams to establish the required cloud, source-control, identity, permissions, and service-account infrastructure. Develop reusable automation patterns for moving data between Python-based workflows, APIs, databases, spreadsheets, and internal systems. Translate operational business processes into reusable AI capabilities, including: Multi-source data reconciliation Query and scripting assistance Data-import troubleshooting Integration diagnostics Audit and evidence collection User-access and permissions reviews Reporting and operational workflow automation Interview business users to assess AI maturity, identify high-value use cases, surface capability gaps, and develop internal champions. Create practical data-classification and governance guidance for safe AI use. Define and track success metrics across adoption, quality, time savings, reliability, operational efficiency, and risk reduction. Build a repeatable onboarding framework and establish standards and reusable patterns that allow new teams to adopt AI safely and efficiently, and successful workflows to scale across teams rather than remaining isolated solutions. What We’re Looking For: 3–6 years of relevant experience in business operations, strategy, data, automation, engineering, AI, consulting, or a related technical/operational role. Experience independently owning or driving cross-functional technology, automation, data, or AI initiatives from problem definition through implementation and adoption. Strong understanding of business operations and the ability to translate ambiguous operational problems into practical technical solutions. Comfortable working with APIs, databases, cloud infrastructure, identity systems, Git-based workflows, and automation platforms. Strong working knowledge of Python and SQL. Familiarity with major LLM-based tools and platforms; experience building AI workflows, agentic systems, reusable skills, automation loops, or autonomous workflows is strongly preferred. Experience integrating enterprise systems, data platforms, spreadsheets, APIs, and third-party services. Ability to establish lightweight governance and security controls without unnecessarily slowing adoption. Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with senior stakeholders as well as technical and non-technical teams. A practical, ownership-oriented mindset focused on deploying solutions that are scalable, reliable, measurable, secure, and reusable. Preferred Education and Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, Information Systems, Business Analytics, Economics, Mathematics, Statistics, or another quantitative or technically oriented field. Equivalent practical experience may be considered in place of a specific degree. Experience in business operations, consulting, strategy and operations, analytics, technical program management, automation, or internal tooling is preferred. Demonstrated experience deploying AI, automation, or data solutions into real business workflows. Experience with cloud platforms such as GCP, AWS, or Azure, source control such as Git/GitHub, and enterprise identity or access-management systems. Familiarity with AI governance, data classification, security reviews, access controls, monitoring, or workflow/model evaluation. Experience independently identifying high-impact opportunities, designing solutions, and driving adoption across multiple teams. Experience working in a fast-paced technology company or similarly high-ownership environment is a plus.
