  • We do have a strong preference for NY-based candidates, but it is not a requirement.
  • Data Governance & AI Ethics: Establish and enforce rigorous IT and compliance standards, with specific focus on data privacy for AI models, IAM protocols, and technical risk mitigation.

Responsibilities

  • Engineering Excellence (The "Strike Team" Model): Lead and mentor a consolidated team of elite, vetted experts, prioritizing high talent density over volume to ensure 100% certainty in AI and backend execution.
  • Capital Efficiency & Budget Stewardship: Manage and optimize the engineering and AI research budget, demonstrating clear ROI by reducing coordination overhead and maximizing output per dollar.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner directly with executive leadership across Marketing, Operations, and Business Development to align AI capabilities with aggressive organizational growth targets.
  • Talent Maturation & Succession Planning: Implement documented feedback loops and "Shadow Pipelines" to identify high-potential AI/ML talent and mitigate key-person dependency risks.
  • Organizational Stability: Act as the stabilizing force during technical transitions, ensuring seamless knowledge transfer of complex AI systems and zero-downtime execution during lead-level rotation.
  • Manage and optimize the engineering and AI research budget, demonstrating clear ROI by reducing coordination overhead and maximizing output per dollar.
  • Implement documented feedback loops and "Shadow Pipelines" to identify high-potential AI/ML talent and mitigate key-person dependency risks.
