About The Position

Real Chemistry is seeking an AI Transformation Analyst to help reimagine how the business operates. The analyst will join the transformation team and work across General & Administrative (G&A) functions, including finance, accounting, operations, resource management, marketing, legal, and internal communications. The role documents current-state processes and operating models, designs future-state alternatives, builds business cases, prioritizes opportunities, and helps implement AI transformation initiatives. It assesses people, processes, systems, data, and vendors to determine what to automate or redesign and which solution best fits each need—from reusable AI skills and Copilot Cowork workflows to AI agents, existing-system enhancements, or process changes without new technology. The role reports to the Vice President, Strategy and Revenue Analytics. This is a hybrid role based in any of the listed US offices—New York City, Boston, Chicago, Carmel, or San Francisco—or remote within the US, depending on team and business needs. Employees within a one-hour commute of a Real Chemistry office are expected to attend in person two days per week, either at a company office or onsite with clients. Employees without a nearby office may work remotely and attend periodic gatherings during the year. The posted pay range is $90,000–$110,000. Compensation is determined using job-related, non-discriminatory factors, including experience, skills, certifications, and geographic location. The company may modify the range. Real Chemistry offers a regionally tailored benefits program and perks, including generous holiday and paid time off, options for private medical, dental, and vision plans, support for saving for the future, mental wellness coaching and support, access to more than 13,000 LinkedIn Learning classes, and office snacks in key markets.
