These shared values drive our culture, shape our processes, and foster a friendly, rewarding, and diverse environment for every OK-er. About the Opportunity We are seeking a VP of AI Strategy & Transformation — a hands-on technical leader who combines deep AI expertise with the strategic vision and executive influence to drive AI adoption across every business unit. This is not a research role or a traditional engineering management position. We need someone who has personally built and shipped production AI systems, understands the frontier of foundation models and agentic AI, and can translate that expertise into company-wide transformation. The ideal candidate is, first and foremost, a deeply technical AI practitioner — someone who has architected and deployed AI systems at scale, and who can channel that credibility into driving AI adoption across every function of the organization. Not a theorist, not a people-manager-only — a builder-leader who ships and who makes others ship. What You’ll Be Doing 1. Company AI Strategy & Transformation Own the company’s AI roadmap end-to-end — from foundation model selection to business-unit-specific deployment plans: • Define and continuously refine the enterprise AI strategy, aligning it to revenue goals, product differentiation, and operational efficiency targets. • Conduct rigorous build-vs-buy-vs-partner analysis for foundation models, AI tooling, inference infrastructure, and data platforms. • Establish an AI governance framework covering model risk, data privacy, bias mitigation, and regulatory compliance across jurisdictions. • Serve as the primary AI advisor to the CEO and executive leadership team; translate frontier AI developments into actionable business implications. • Build and maintain a rolling 6/12/24-month AI transformation roadmap with clear milestones, investment thresholds, and go/no-go decision points. • Identify and evaluate strategic AI acquisition, investment, and partnership opportunities. 2. System Building & Technical Execution Architect and deliver production-grade AI systems that create measurable business impact — not just prototypes: • Lead the architecture of LLM-powered applications including RAG systems, agentic workflows, fine-tuning pipelines, and prompt engineering frameworks at enterprise scale. • Design and implement AI-native infrastructure: model serving, automated evaluation, A/B testing frameworks, version control for prompts and models, and continuous monitoring for quality and drift. • Build and optimize AI agent systems, multi-model orchestration, tool-use chains, and autonomous workflow engines that solve real business problems end-to-end. • Build robust evaluation and benchmarking systems for AI outputs — measuring hallucination rates, task completion accuracy, latency, safety, and end-user satisfaction. • Personally prototype and review critical AI system designs; maintain hands-on technical credibility with the engineering team. 3. Organizational AI Enablement & Adoption Drive AI adoption across every business unit — making AI a core competency for the entire organization, not just the engineering team: • Design and execute a company-wide AI literacy
