3d•Onsite

About The Position

As the Director, AI Transformation, you'll own the strategy, execution and adoption of AI across ActivTrak. You'll lead a small team and serve as the connective tissue between the AI solutions we build and the employees who use them. This is a player-coach role: you'll set direction and represent AI transformation at the leadership level, while staying close enough to the work to build, test and iterate alongside your team.

Requirements

7 years in operations, RevOps, GTM strategy or technology transformation, with at least 2 years managing people or leading a function
Demonstrated hands-on experience implementing AI solutions in a business context
Fluency with modern AI platforms and the GTM stack: LLMs, no-code/low-code automation, CRM AI features, sequencing tools, enrichment platforms and attribution systems
Working knowledge of agentic AI concepts and architectures. You understand how to design systems where AI models take multi-step actions, not just answer questions
Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or equivalent integration patterns for connecting AI to live data sources and internal tooling
Hands-on experience with AI coding tools such as Claude Code, GPT Codex or similar. You are comfortable using these tools to build scripts, automate workflows and accelerate internal development
Demonstrated understanding of AI governance and compliance considerations: acceptable use policies, data privacy, vendor risk, audit trails and human oversight requirements
Active learner who stays current on the fast-moving AI landscape — new model releases, emerging frameworks and evolving best practices — and translates that into actionable guidance for the business
Clear, confident communicator who can translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders and vice versa
Change management intuition. You understand the hardest part of AI transformation is behavioral, not technical
High ownership orientation. You make calls, iterate and take accountability for outcomes

Partner with the AI Admin on integrations, prompt libraries, and production readiness for new solutions
Lead proof-of-concept work on emerging AI capabilities, stress-testing tools before broader rollout

Maintain a clear inventory of all AI tools, integrations, and MCP connections in use across the organization, with documented risk ratings and review cadences

Own and run the AI steering cadence: facilitate cross-functional meetings with business leads, set the agenda, drive decisions and ensure follow-through on commitments
Lead up effectively. You're comfortable presenting roadmaps, risks and recommendations to senior leadership, and you know how to frame tradeoffs in business terms, not technical ones
Influence without authority across peer functions. Build a case and bring people along
Represent the AI Transform function in leadership forums and communicate progress, priorities and risks
