Experience in taking AI or ML models from concept to production is a big plus.
If you bring all of the above and know how to navigate ambiguity, manage resources effectively, and make data a driving force behind strategic decisions, let’s talk!
What you will do:
- Manage, mentor, and grow a technical team. Cultivate a collaborative environment that empowers the team to innovate and deliver impactful data solutions.
- Drive development of impactful AI products – including AI agents – in collaboration with the Product and Engineering leadership.
- Provide direction for the development of our data platform, including the development of AI and ML capabilities. Including the decision on appropriate frameworks and tools, ensuring scalable, robust, and future-proof solutions.

- Strong understanding of data engineering, AI/ML systems, and data platform technologies. You're comfortable guiding technical experts without necessarily diving into hands-on execution.

- Collaborative mindset and strong track record in building partnerships across Product, Engineering, and business stakeholders to drive large data initiatives.
- Ability to thrive in a dynamic, rapidly growing SaaS environment, comfortably managing ambiguity and making decisions amid uncertainty.
