Head of Generative AI

Turing • New York, NY

72d

About The Position

Turing is building the next generation of enterprise AI, and this role sits at the center of that mission. As Head of Generative AI, you will define how some of the world's largest companies harness emerging technologies to reimagine their operations, products, and workforce productivity. This is both a strategic and hands-on position. You will be trusted to set a vision for how generative systems can create lasting enterprise value, while also guiding teams through the complexity of turning that vision into real-world applications. The role requires the judgment to engage credibly with senior executives, the technical depth to influence architectural decisions, and the leadership to scale teams working at the frontier of applied AI. You will thrive here if you can navigate ambiguity, inspire confidence in high-stakes client environments, and build organizations that balance speed with rigor. The impact of your work will be measured not only in successful deployments, but in the lasting trust you create with clients and the new possibilities you open for how enterprises compete and grow in the era of AI.
