About The Position

Leads Ezurio's internal AI portfolio and adoption, working with every function to find high-value opportunities, prioritize investment, and deliver measurable results. This is a hands-on role that prototypes solutions to prove value, then hands them to implementation partners to build for production. This role will also make sure our data and knowledge are ready for AI to use, and work with the executive team to evolve our AI strategy. The role reports to the VP of IT and works with an executive steering group. It is an individual contributor role that delivers through business teams, partners, and IT. Product and customer-facing AI are out of scope, though you will collaborate with product teams where tools or data overlap. This is a remote position. Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the US.

AI transformation expertise: Strong understanding of AI solution pattern, decision intelligence, and how AI can be used to redesign workflows, create new business models, and optimize operations.
