You understand how to design systems where AI models take multi-step actions, not just answer questions * Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or equivalent integration patterns for connecting AI to live data sources and internal tooling * Hands-on experience with AI coding tools such as Claude Code, GPT Codex or similar. You are comfortable using these tools to build scripts, automate workflows and accelerate internal development * Demonstrated understanding of AI governance and compliance considerations: acceptable use policies, data privacy, vendor risk, audit trails and human oversight requirements * Active learner who stays current on the fast-moving AI landscape - new model releases, emerging frameworks and evolving best practices - and translates that into actionable guidance for the business * SaaS company experience strongly preferred * Clear, confident communicator who can translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders and vice versa * Change management intuition. You understand the hardest part of AI transformation is behavioral, not technical * High ownership orientation. You make calls, iterate and take accountability for outcomes, This is an incredible opportunity to build something from the ground up at a work intelligence company that's defining how organizations understand people, applications, and AI tools.

You'll lead a small team and serve as the connective tissue between the AI solutions we build and the employees who use them. This is a player-coach role: you'll set direction and represent AI transformation at the leadership level, while staying close enough to the work to build, test and iterate alongside your team., Strategy & Roadmap: * Define and maintain the AI transformation roadmap, aligned to operational priorities across Revenue, Data, BI, and go-to-market functions * Establish OKRs for AI adoption, productivity impact, and tool ROI, and report progress to the senior leadership * Evaluate, recommend, and govern the AI tool stack, balancing capability, cost, and organizational readiness * Identify the highest-leverage AI use cases across business functions and sequence delivery based on impact and feasibility Hands-On Delivery: * Build, prompt, and iterate on AI solutions directly by working in the tools * Design and deploy agentic AI workflows that automate multi-step processes across business functions, moving beyond single-prompt tools to systems that reason, plan and act * Work fluently with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to connect AI models to internal systems, data sources, and third-party tools, understanding how to configure, extend, and govern those integrations * Use AI coding tools (including Claude Code and GPT Codex) to accelerate solution development, automate scripts, and build internal tooling without requiring full engineering resources * Partner with the AI Admin on integrations, prompt libraries, and production readiness for new solutions * Lead proof-of-concept work on emerging AI capabilities, stress-testing tools before broader rollout * Bring GTM systems fluency to revenue-adjacent use cases, including CRM automation, pipeline intelligence, and sales workflow optimization across the GTM stack Team Leadership & Cross-Functional Influence: * Manage and develop a small team, setting clear scope, priorities, and success metrics for each role * Create a high-trust, high-output team culture grounded in curiosity, iteration, and business impact * Recruit and onboard future team members as function grows Governance & Compliance: * Own the AI governance framework for the organization. Define policies for acceptable use, data handling, model selection and vendor risk across all AI tools and workflows * Establish guardrails for agentic AI systems, ensuring automated workflows have appropriate human-in-the-loop checkpoints, audit trails, and rollback procedures * Partner with Legal, Security, and IT to ensure AI integrations meet data privacy, compliance and information security standards (including SOC 2, GDPR, or customer data handling requirements) * Stay current on the evolving regulatory landscape around AI and proactively surface business implications before they become blockers * Maintain a clear inventory of all AI tools, integrations, and MCP connections in use across the organization, with documented risk ratings and review cadences Cross-functional influence * Serve as the primary point of contact for all AI needs across ActivTrak - any team, any function, any use case routes through you first * Own and run the AI steering cadence: facilitate cross-functional meetings with business leads, set the agenda, drive decisions and ensure follow-through on commitments * Lead up effectively. You're comfortable presenting roadmaps, risks and recommendations to senior leadership, and you know how to frame tradeoffs in business terms, not technical ones * Influence without authority across peer functions. Build a case and bring people along * Represent the AI Transform function in leadership forums and communicate progress, priorities and risks ## Related Videos - [AI PowerPlay: Building High-Impact Teams & Transformative Solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1005-ai-powerplay-building-high-impact-teams-transformative-solutions) - [ Evaluating AI models for code comprehension](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1462-evaluating-ai-models-for-code-comprehension) - [Reimagining app development with Low-code and AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1651-reimagining-app-development-with-low-code-and-ai) - [Resilient by Design: Building Robust Architectures in High-Stakes Financial Systems](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2106-resilient-by-design-building-robust-architectures-in-high-stakes-financial-systems) - [What Happens to Leadership When AI Becomes a Teammate?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1818-what-happens-to-leadership-when-ai-becomes-a-teammate) - [Turning People Strategy into a Transformation Engine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1755-turning-people-strategy-into-a-transformation-engine) ## Related Articles - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Stephan Gillich - Bringing AI Everywhere](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/489-stephan-gillich-bringing-ai-everywhere) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Transforming Software Development: The Role of AI and Developer Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/527-transforming-software-development-the-role-of-ai-and-developer-tools) - [What Industries Outside of AI Are Hiring The Most AI Experts?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/98-what-industries-outside-of-ai-are-hiring-the-most-ai-experts)
