Responsibilities
Unblock Functions Across the Board: Identify and eliminate friction points preventing teams from adopting AI. Whether it’s a permissioning bottleneck in Finance, a data serialization issue in Support, or a lack of documentation in Engineering—you find it and fix it
Redefine Human-Centric Workflows: Partner with Support Ops and General Functions to turn manual "one-off" tasks (like email responses or data entry) into one-shot, AI-augmented workflows
Drive Product Enhancements: Act as the voice of the internal user. Use deep dives into Support and Engineering workflows to influence the roadmap for our AI microservice fleet
Hands-on Implementation: You are a technical generalist. You will contribute to prototypes, refine prompts for specific business use cases (e.g., automated support resolution), and assist in the "Demo to Prod" transition for high-leverage features
Cross-Functional Evangelism: Conduct workshops and create "how-to" guides that speak the language of the department you are supporting—translating complex AI capabilities into simple, high-impact functional tools
