About the Role
You wear many different hats: vibe coder, strategist, data analyst, product manager, operations. We believe in building together, quickly.
Qualifications
AI prompting foundations: some experience in some form with AI enablement, AI operations, or AI engineering roles. You are generally comfortable prompting your way to solutions, and sometimes needing to get into code / working with APIs, etc.
Builder DNA: you are a curious learner and builder, skilled with new AI tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Notion AI, automation tools like Dust, Gumloop, n8n, Zapier, GTM enrichments like Clay and Unify, and search APIs like Exa, Parallel, Browserbase. Some familiarity with SQL, BI, managing data lakehouses, and scraping and scripting from DS notebooks, is a plus.
Get it done mentality: a bias toward action and building "v1 MVP" today. You thrive in the ambiguity of a fast-paced AI startup.
Strong communications: you can produce clear, concise presentation of information, and influence teams to use your products. You run training sessions that drive impact through leadership and communications, in every gap you find.
Ability to manage cross-functional teams: able to work hands-on in workflows across Sales, Post-Sales, Finance, People/HR, Ops, BizOps, Marketing, EPD, and more. It’s OK if you haven’t done it before.
Responsibilities
Build out intelligent solutions to make us more effective: build out an account mapping platform that helps sales and marketing identify the best individuals to target and break into accounts with. Leverage scrapers, search APIs, workflow automation tools, and LLMs to do this effectively, and efficiently.
Be the AI Culture Driver: build an AI-native culture for the entire business, by identifying and enabling internal “AI champions,” and builders. Programmatically define templates and best practices into team norms. Turn them into people who can’t live without the automation and will be very unhappy if it is taken away.
Build out AI analytics: measure success by going deep into data, specifically around number of hours saved, and additional work delivered as a result of our efficiency and effectiveness gains. Become customer obsessed - customers being our internal stakeholders - and measure their happiness using our tools.
