VP of Innovation & AI
Parasol Alliance | Remote | Full-Time | ~30% Travel | Reports to CEO

ABOUT US
Parasol Alliance is an award-winning Managed Services Provider (MSP) exclusively serving the senior living industry. We've earned 24 Best & Brightest workplace awards and have been named a Top 501 MSP in the world by Channel Futures — five years running. We move fast, think big, and genuinely care about our people and the communities we serve.

THE OPPORTUNITY
This is a rare chance to shape the technology future of an entire industry. As VP of Innovation & AI, you'll own how Parasol Alliance thinks about, adopts, and scales artificial intelligence and emerging technology — both inside our organization and across our entire client portfolio. This isn't a support role or an advisory title. You'll be the architect of our AI and innovation strategy, driving it from vision to execution and making sure every client we serve benefits from what we build. If you're energized by turning ambitious ideas into real outcomes — and by doing it at a company that's genuinely mission-driven — this role was made for you.

Own and drive Parasol Alliance's enterprise AI strategy — defining where we go, how fast, and what we build

Identify, prioritize, and implement AI use cases that improve how we deliver services, operate, and grow

Establish AI governance frameworks covering responsible use, privacy, security, and risk

Build internal AI fluency through training, enablement, and hands-on adoption programs for our team

Serve as Parasol Alliance's internal authority on the evolving AI landscape — keeping us ahead, not catching up

Monitor and evaluate emerging technologies across senior living, healthcare, and adjacent industries — from resident experience and clinical operations to analytics

Lead AI and innovation strategy across the full client portfolio — coordinating initiatives, identifying patterns, and scaling what works

Create client-facing AI readiness assessments, innovation roadmaps, and forward-looking technology strategies

Translate market trends and emerging technology into actionable, prioritized intelligence that sharpens our clients' competitive edge and informs multi-year investment decisions

Develop a consistent, scalable framework for how Parasol Alliance identifies, evaluates, and activates innovation across the client base

Create frameworks that help clients distinguish meaningful innovation from technology that isn't ready for real-world deployment
