• Define governance, monitoring, and performance frameworks for AI systems

• Drive cross-functional adoption across Product, Marketing, Ops, and Data

• Lead technical decision-making, balancing innovation with scalability and reliability

• Establish KPIs, dashboards, and reporting systems to measure impact

• Improve workflows to accelerate time-to-production (2x speed)

• Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing AI team

• 5+ years leading high-performance tech teams in dynamic environments

• Strong experience in AI/ML systems (LLMs, APIs, automation workflows, MLOps)

• Proven ability to design scalable architectures and distributed systems

• Hands-on experience with tools such as LangChain, AWS, FastAPI, Node.js or similar

• Strong systems thinking and ability to connect technology with business outcomes

• Data-driven mindset with experience defining and tracking KPIs and performance metrics
