AI CoE Program Lead

Role Description

As AI CoE Program Lead, you'll report directly to the COO to run and scale our AI Center of Excellence (CoE). This isn't a greenfield build — the foundation is already in place: a live AI CoE Portal, a functioning AI Operating System, six rounds of company hackathons, and a 12-week cross-functional training program already underway. Your job is to take this from "early traction" to "default way of working" — driving adoption, tightening operations, and turning a hardworking group of part-time champions into a durable, scaled program.

You'll be the connective tissue between DataOps and IT — who own the underlying infrastructure and data architecture — and the cross-functional CoE members who are driving adoption in their departments on top of their day jobs. You should be deeply fluent in AI yourself — comfortable deploying automations and agents, and genuinely energized by experimenting with new AI tools and techniques — while keeping the whole engine running smoothly, efficiently, and visibly delivering ROI.

This is a deliberately hybrid role: equal parts hands-on AI builder and cross-functional program operator. We're looking for someone who can do both, even if not with equal depth on day one — strong AI chops are the harder thing to teach, so that's our primary bar.

Qualifications

• Deep, Hands-On AI Experience: Demonstrated track record of personally deploying AI automations and agents.
• Builder's Curiosity: A habit of experimenting with emerging AI tools and techniques outside of formal projects.
• Professional Background: 2-4 years of professional experience, ideally touching Revenue, Sales, IT Operations, or Program/Project Management within a B2B SaaS environment.

Requirements

• Scale the CoE Operating Model: Take ownership of the day-to-day running of the AI CoE.
• Own the AI CoE Portal: Drive continuous improvement of the live Portal.
• Run the Training Program: Own development and delivery of ongoing training.
• Formalize the Hackathon Cadence: Convert the hackathons-to-date into a repeatable quarterly playbook.
• Drive Self-Service Automation: Champion and operationalize the company-wide vision for employee-built automations.
• Be the Coaching Backstop: Serve as the go-to point of contact for employee questions and troubleshooting.
• Own the Complex & Cross-Functional Builds: Take direct, hands-on ownership of complex builds.
• Workflow Automation: Partner with department champions to identify and convert manual work into automated workflows.
• AI Governance: Champion governance processes for AI assets.
• Hands-On AI Deployment: Personally design, build, and deploy automations and AI agents.
• Stay on the Edge: Continuously evaluate and pilot new AI tools, models, and techniques.
• Maturity Tracking & Reporting: Maintain and report on our position against the Gartner AI Maturity Scale.
• Change Management & Communications: Own internal AI communications.

Benefits

• Supportive, success-driven environment.
• Opportunity to work with cutting-edge AI tools and technologies.
• Flexible work arrangements in a 100% remote company.
