Availability
:
Requires a minimum of three days per week onsite in our Wakefield, MA office. Flexibility options are available.

• Remote:
  Support remote work arrangements, allowing you to work from home or any location that enhances your productivity.
• Hybrid:
  Balance time between office and remote work, providing the best of both worlds.
• Local Preference:
  We value local candidates and may consider exceptional remote applicants.

• AI Visionary: Be the go‑to expert applying AI across Sales, Marketing, Ops, Finance, and beyond.
• Workflow Wizard: Map processes, spot bottlenecks, and eliminate manual effort with brilliant AI solutions.
• Systems Architect: Proactively propose and translate ambiguous business needs into structured, end‑to‑end system designs.
• Hands‑On Builder: Design and execute game‑changing, AI‑powered workflows using modern automation tools and APIs.

• Build smarter solutions:
  Apply AI for decision support, content generation, classification, and data enrichment.
• Integrate systems:
  Ensure internal systems (CRM, data platforms, cloud tools) are seamlessly connected.
• Own the solution:
  Take projects from idea to production, ensuring reliability and business relevance.
• Stay current:
  Serve as the internal expert on the latest AI models and tooling.

We are looking for hands‑on experience in real, imperfect operating environments.

• Experience: Typically 4+ years of professional experience owning systems end‑to‑end, with a demonstrated history of shipping solutions that other teams rely on daily.
• We Value: Consulting roles with implementation responsibility, internal tools/business systems teams, and experience in startup/scale‑up environments.
• We Are Not Seeking: Pure ML research profiles, AI “evangelists” without execution depth, or product managers who do not build/implement.

• Experience building cross‑functional business systems, not isolated tools.
• Ability to go from whiteboard concept to live, production workflow.
• Focus on business impact and ROI, not novelty for its own sake.
• Comfort pushing back on weak ideas, even with senior stakeholders.

• Low ego and high ownership.
• Impatience with unnecessary process and wasted effort.
• Calm, structured thinking in ambiguous situations.
• Practical decision‑making over “perfect” architecture.

• Must‑Have: Proven track record in building cross‑functional systems, strong familiarity with AI models, experience with automation platforms and APIs, and excellent communication.
• Nice‑to‑Have: Background in operations/consulting, experience with CRMs/data platforms, light scripting (Python/JavaScript).

• Not a research or theory role—this is building.
• Not a departmental analyst—this is cross‑functional.
• Not a pure software engineering role—this is business‑driven systems building.
