Role summary
You will be the in-house AI leader for commercial operations - translating business needs into practical, secure, measurable AI solutions. This is a hands-on builder role: you will prototype quickly, integrate with existing tools (CRM/ERP/email/web), and operationalize what works through change management, documentation, training, and governance.
What success looks like (first 90 days)
- Map end-to-end commercial workflows (lead-to-order, order-to-cash touchpoints, customer support intake-to-resolution) and quantify top 10 time/cost frictions.
- Deliver 2-3 production pilots with measurable outcomes (e.g., faster quote turnaround, higher
lead-to-meeting conversion, reduced support backlog).
- Establish an AI usage policy (data handling, approvals, prompt hygiene, human-in-the-loop), plus a simple ROI tracker and backlog process.
- Enable the team: training sessions, playbooks, and templates so AI becomes a repeatable capability -
not a one-off project.
Key responsibilities
- Discovery & prioritization: run workshops with Sales/Marketing/CS/Product to identify high-value AI opportunities; build a roadmap with effort vs impact.
- Solution design & delivery: prototype and deploy AI solutions (LLM assistants, RAG search,
automation agents, analytics models) with clear acceptance criteria and KPIs.
- Customer service automation: implement AI-assisted triage, knowledge base search, ticket summarization, suggested replies, and escalation logic.
- Marketing & lead generation: build AI workflows for segmentation, outreach personalization, content
drafts, account research, and lead scoring support.
- Sales enablement: create AI tools for call/meeting prep, note-to-CRM capture, proposal/quote drafting, objection handling libraries, and competitive intel briefs.
- Product & voice-of-customer: use AI to mine customer feedback, map themes, and translate insights
into product requirements and roadmap inputs.
- Integration: connect AI workflows with CRM/ERP/helpdesk/email (e.g., Salesforce/Dynamics/HubSpot, SAP/NetSuite, Zendesk/Freshdesk) using APIs or automation tools.
- Governance & risk: ensure compliance with data privacy, IP, and security requirements; implement
human review steps and auditability.
- Change management: train users, document workflows, create reusable prompt libraries, and continuously improve based on feedback and metrics.
Required qualifications
- 5+ years in a role bridging business and technology (commercial ops, RevOps, sales enablement, product ops, digital transformation, or similar).
- Hands-on experience delivering AI/automation solutions into real workflows (not just research or
dashboards).
- Comfortable with modern LLM tools and concepts: prompt engineering, function calling/tools, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), evaluation, and guardrails.
- Strong process mindset: can map workflows, define requirements, and measure outcomes (cycle time,
conversion, CSAT, cost-to-serve).
- Working knowledge of data handling: CSV/SQL basics, data quality, and how to connect systems via APIs/webhooks.
- Excellent communication: can translate technical choices into business value and train non-technical
teams.
Preferred qualifications
- Bachelor's in Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, or equivalent experience (MBA/Commercial background welcomed when paired with hands-on delivery).
- Experience with one or more: CRM (Salesforce/Dynamics/HubSpot), ERP (SAP/NetSuite), helpdesk
(Zendesk/Freshdesk), marketing automation, or CPQ tools.
- Python proficiency for scripting and lightweight model work; SQL for analysis; familiarity with JavaScript is a plus.
- Experience with cloud AI services (Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI) and basic DevOps
practices (Git, environments, deployment).
- Familiarity with data privacy and security concepts (PII handling, access control, logging, vendor risk review).
Typical technical toolkit
- LLM platforms: OpenAI/ChatGPT Enterprise or Azure OpenAI (preferred for enterprise controls), Anthropic/Google (where available).
- Automation: Power Automate, Zapier, Make, n8n; email and calendar integrations; webhooks.
- Data: Excel/Sheets, SQL (basic), BI tools (Power BI/Tableau), Python (pandas).
- Knowledge/RAG: document ingestion, embeddings, vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS) or built-in enterprise search connectors.
- Apps: CRM/ERP/helpdesk APIs, internal portals, and lightweight web apps for assistants.
