AI Operations Lead, Marketing; remote

Meet the Moment with Alteryx

We’re living through a once-in-a-generation shift in how work gets done. Data, automation, and AI are quickly becoming the center of every business decision - and Alteryx is leading the transformation.

We’re looking for problem solvers, innovators, and dreamers who are searching for anything but business as usual. Like us, you’re a high performer who’s an expert at your craft, constantly challenging the status quo. You value inclusivity and want to join a culture that empowers you to show up as your authentic self. You know that success hinges on commitment, that our differences make us stronger, and that the finish line is always sweeter when the whole team crosses together.

In this impact-oriented role, you’ll architect and drive our AI transformation strategy within Marketing. You’ll serve as the technical leader pioneering how our marketing organization leverages AI to drive efficiency, effectiveness, and competitive advantage. This role balances strategic vision with hands on execution. You’ll spend your time prototyping AI solutions, enabling adoption across marketing teams, and shaping strategy and leading cross functional initiatives.

You’ll partner with data science, marketing leadership, and stakeholders across the organization to turn AI from buzzword to measurable business advantage. You’ll lead by example by building rapid prototypes to prove value, driving organizational change to ensure adoption, and establishing the standards and best practices that others follow. This is a greenfield opportunity to define how a modern marketing organization harnesses AI.
