About The Position

GoodRx is looking for a Vice President of AI Strategy & Deployment to lead the company-wide effort to embed AI into high-impact business workflows across the company, with enterprise-wide scope and executive visibility. This is a peer role to Data, ML, Product, and Engineering leadership. This role partners closely with Data, Product, and Engineering leaders to align priorities and secure resources to deliver against AI roadmap. Existing leaders own platform, models, and infrastructure, while this role is accountable for ensuring those capabilities translate into measurable business outcomes at scale. This person will be the connective tissue between AI platform capabilities (agentic architecture on Vertex AI, RAG pipelines, LLM integrations) and enterprise business priorities, owning where and how AI is applied to the highest-value problems across the enterprise. They need to understand the technical landscape deeply enough to set solution direction and hold a high bar for technical decisions in partnership with technical leaders, and be a strong business partner to drive adoption across non-technical functions. This role operates with enterprise-wide scope and is expected to influence and shape priorities across Product, Engineering, and Data Science.

Requirements

Deep technical fluency in modern AI/ML.
Ability to evaluate and select the right approach for given a problem (e.g. fine-tuning vs. RAG vs. agentic workflow vs. classical ML) and set direction accordingly.
Strong understanding of modern AI systems, including transformer architectures, embedding models, vector databases, prompt engineering, agent orchestration patterns (e.g. MCP, tool use, multi-step reasoning), and MLOps at production scale.
Proven track record of owning and driving AI from concept to production across multiple business domains (commercial, operational, and analytical).
Experience deploying AI outside of engineering or product (e.g., in sales enablement, legal operations, finance, customer support) is essential.
Demonstrated the ability to drive enterprise-wide adoption across functions without direct ownership.
Exceptional stakeholder management, the ability to build credibility quickly with senior leaders, and a track record of driving meaningful change through influence, prioritization and alignment.
Experience presenting to senior executives, including the CEO and Board-level stakeholders, as well as external partners.
Ability to translate complex AI capabilities into clear business impact, driving alignment and trust with non-technical stakeholders.
