Responsibilities

Shape the AI Strategy: You actively shape our AI North Star by defining the right focus and technical approach for 1KOMMA5°. You determine where AI adds the most value whether through automation or augmentation and evaluate market trends to set a strategy that keeps us ahead of the curve

Master Stakeholder Management: You act as the strategic bridge between C-Level efficiency targets and operational reality. You drive active change management, ensuring that AI initiatives are understood and embraced by our teams. You turn ambitious targets into accepted workflows that deliver measurable business value

Identify High-Impact Opportunities: You dive deep into operational departments (Finance, People & Culture, Sales) to uncover bottlenecks. You systematically prioritize use cases based on ROI and feasibility, ensuring we focus our energy on initiatives that truly move the needle

Build and Validate MVPs: You independently architect and build operational prototypes (using LLMs, automation workflow engines, code etc.) to validate hypotheses fast, proving value directly before committing major resources

Bridge the Engineering Gap: Your deep technical understanding makes you a credible partner for our engineering teams. You understand API architectures, data privacy, and integration complexity, ensuring that the solutions we scale fit seamlessly into our tech landscape rather than creating isolated silos
