Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Head of AI - **Company:** Advantive LLC - **Location:** Tampa, FL, United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Applicant Tracking Systems, Business Software, Automation Anywhere - **Published:** May 22, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=f26b6fc748adef25 ## About the Role Do you have experience in Workflow management (operations management method)?, Background: A business-minded operator who has evolved into an AI-native leader through hands-on implementation, experimentation, and operational execution. Experience: Proven experience implementing and operationalizing AI workflows, automations, agents, or transformation initiatives - not just advising on them. Skills: Comfortable prototyping, experimenting with AI tooling, and rapidly iterating on workflows and operational improvements. Comfort reading and testing code is a plus, but driving adoption and execution is the core responsibility. Mindset: Highly curious, learns fast, biased toward action, and obsessed with measurable outcomes, adoption, and execution rather than activity. Change Leadership: Able to influence without authority and drive alignment across technical and non-technical stakeholders. Execution: Comfortable rolling up sleeves, operating in ambiguity, and personally pushing initiatives across the finish line. ## Description Advantive is hiring a Head of AI to lead AI strategy, operational transformation, and AI adoption across the company and its products, driving measurable productivity, operational, and business impact. Reporting directly to the CEO and working in close partnership with the SVP of Productivity, the CTO organization, and functional leaders across the business, this leader will drive the execution of Advantive's AI strategy and help transform how the company operates, scales, and delivers value. This is not a research role, an IT administration role, or a centralized innovation-lab role. This is a high-impact execution role for a business-minded operator who understands AI deeply enough to build with it, challenge existing ways of working, and drive lasting adoption across the organization. What You'll Own: * Lead enterprise-wide AI strategy and transformation initiatives across Advantive, driving measurable productivity, operational, and business impact. * Partner with the CTO organization and business leaders to ensure AI is embedded in systems, workflows, and operations in a scalable and practical way. * Rapidly prototype AI workflows, agents, and proof-of-concepts to validate business value and accelerate organizational adoption. * Drive lasting organizational change through enablement, communication, training, and change management. * Challenge existing workflows and operating models by identifying opportunities where AI can remove friction and accelerate execution. * Act as an internal AI evangelist and trusted advisor, translating emerging AI capabilities into practical business applications. What Success Looks Like: * AI becomes embedded into the day-to-day operating rhythm of the company, with strong adoption across functions and teams. * Clear productivity, operational, and business impact tied to specific AI-enabled workflows and initiatives. * AI becomes a practical and trusted capability across the organization - not a side initiative, but a core part of how we operate. Why Advantive? * Culture of Growth: We don't hire to fill seats-we hire to develop talent. You'll be supported like an athlete, coached like a leader, and challenged like a builder. * Career Acceleration: Many of our best leaders started in frontline roles like this one. We believe in moving fast and promoting from within. * Real Impact: You're not a cog in the machine here. Your work helps real businesses that keep supply chains, manufacturing lines, and entire industries running. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology may be used during the hiring process to record, transcribe, analyze, and rank interview responses. By submitting your application and participating in the interview process, you acknowledge and consent to the use of AI technology in the hiring process. Interview Process: We believe in identifying a strong fit between our company and our employees and supporting a culture of creative problem solving and innovation. To that extent, if selected for next steps, you will be invited to complete a series of assessments that focus on aptitude and personality prior to a recruiter interview. Everyone at the company from early career all the way to CEO has taken these assessments.
