Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and deploy tailored AI systems using platforms such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and other agentic tools, focusing on document processing, intelligent assistants, and workflow automation.
  • Build custom integrations, Skills, and MCP extensions to enhance AI functionality within enterprise environments.
  • Apply structured prompt engineering and governance practices to ensure outputs are consistent, secure, and aligned with compliance standards.
  • Implement automation across departments including finance, HR, legal, sales, and customer support, prioritizing use cases with clear ROI.
  • Assess third-party tools like n8n, Zapier, and vertical SaaS platforms to determine optimal implementation paths.
  • Lead integration efforts between AI solutions and legacy systems using APIs, webhooks, and MCP server architectures.
  • Collaborate with executives and transformation teams to define project scope, track performance, and demonstrate impact through metrics such as labor savings and error reduction.
  • Deliver results quickly—often within 30 to 60 days—while also planning longer-term AI transformation initiatives.
  • Train end users, develop documentation, and lead change management efforts to ensure lasting adoption.
  • Document successful implementations and create reusable playbooks for scaling proven solutions across the portfolio.

Qualifications

  • Familiarity with API integrations, webhook design, and RAG-based architectures.
  • Proven ability to turn business needs into functional technical systems, from concept through deployment.
  • Experience managing concurrent projects across different organizations and industries.
  • Ability to communicate progress clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders using data-driven insights.

Preferred Background

  • Advanced degree in a technical or quantitative discipline, or equivalent real-world experience.
  • Prior work in consulting, private equity, or multi-company environments.
