Reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer, this role is fundamentally about partnership — sitting down with leaders across Finance, HR, Project Management, Operations, Marketing, and our field teams to understand how work actually gets done, then translating those conversations into practical AI solutions that make the business more efficient, better aligned, and easier to scale.The role is hands-on. You will identify the highest-value opportunities, build the business cases, run the pilots, deliver the training, and own the data foundation that makes any of it work.
