About The Position

We are seeking a strategic, technically-fluent Director of AI, Product Delivery Ops to lead the operationalization of AI across our product ecosystem and internal workflows. This is a high-leverage leadership role for someone who has built product operations infrastructure from scratch and can now evolve it for an AI-native world. You will bridge the gap between high-level strategy and execution, ensuring our AI initiatives deliver measurable ROI while maintaining the highest standards of governance and velocity.

Requirements

• 10+ years of professional experience with at least 5+ years leading product operations teams.
• Genuine fluency with AI tools and models (e.g., Claude, Cursor, Gemini) and the ability to build and instrument processes involving AI agents and LLMs.
• Demonstrated experience building product operations infrastructure from scratch or significantly rebuilding it within a fast-growing, ambiguous environment.
• Strong data and analytics capability; comfortable with modern data stacks (Snowflake, dbt) and technical systems design.
• A "driver" who can move fast without cutting corners, with the judgment to know when to follow existing agile processes and when to evolve them for AI-native development.
• Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear updates and business cases for senior executives.

Nice To Haves

• Drivers, Not Passengers: You own the ambiguity and chart a clear path forward.
• Conviction with Rationale: You propose and challenge ideas grounded in logic and data.
• Speed with Precision: You move at light speed while maintaining high quality and security.
• Innovate & Elevate: You constantly explore bold ideas to stay at the leading edge of AI.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary resource for internal AI initiatives, serving as the "connective tissue" between Product, Engineering, Data, and GTM teams to prioritize high-impact AI opportunities.
• Build and drive the internal AI PD Operations roadmap.
• Build and lead a high-performing small AI PD Ops organization, managing individual contributors.
• Define and monitor AI adoption, performance, and ROI metrics, building dashboards and visibility for executive leadership to drive data-driven decision-making.
• Lead the design and implementation of AI-enabled workflow automations and internal tooling to reduce cycle times and increase throughput across Product Delivery (Engineering, Product, Design, Program Management).
• Ensure all AI tools and workflows align with firm governance, security, and compliance standards, integrating guardrails without sacrificing developer velocity.

Benefits

• Competitive base pay tied to role and experience, with opportunities for bonuses, commissions, and equity.
