Job description

The Head of AI Enablement will own our client AI and automation program end to end, with two clear focuses: the manufacturing department and internal business processes. In the factory, this means taking the Replit-built platform to the next level so production runs on accurate, live data with minimal manual handling. In the office, it means automating repetitive work across quoting, job intake, purchasing, accounts, payroll inputs, reporting and administration. This is a builder's role, not an advisory one. You will work closely with the factory manager and office leads, who bring the process knowledge while you build the systems around it.

Key responsibilities

Take technical ownership of our client operations platform on Replit, including factory kiosks, stone job tracking, dispatch and client portals

Map the full manufacturing workflow from order and drawings through slab allocation, cutting, finishing, quality checks and dispatch, and remove bottlenecks and double handling

Build production planning and capacity tools so factory workload, machine time and labour are scheduled against order due dates

Automate job intake from drawings and orders, cutting lists, slab and stock tracking, remake tracking and dispatch dockets

Surface live production data and KPIs (throughput, lead times, remakes, waste, labour productivity) for the factory manager and directors

Ship new features and fixes quickly using Replit Agent and hands-on code, reviewing and testing every change rather than accepting AI output at face value

Put engineering discipline around the platform: version control, separate development and production environments, database backups, user access control and documentation

Map how internal work actually gets done across sales, estimating, purchasing, accounts, payroll and administration, and find where AI and automation can remove manual effort

Automate repetitive office tasks such as data entry, quote and order generation, purchase orders, supplier invoice processing, timesheet and payroll inputs, and client statements

Connect the operations platform to the rest of the business through APIs, including accounting, payroll, CRM, email and supplier systems, so data is entered once

About you

Proven competence building AI, automation or software solutions that work in a real business, demonstrated through your portfolio rather than years of experience

Demonstrated hands‑on Replit experience: apps you have built, deployed and maintained on Replit, including effective use of Replit Agent

Ability to read, debug and review AI-generated code, and to recognise when the AI has got it wrong

Advanced use of generative AI tools (such as Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot), including building agents, assistants or custom workflows and calling AI models from your own applications

Experience connecting systems through APIs and webhooks, and with automation platforms such as Make, Zapier or n8n

Proven track record of streamlining business processes: mapping how work is actually done, removing waste and duplication, and measuring the improvement

Strong data skills; able to turn messy spreadsheets and processes into structured tools

Clear communicator who can explain technology in plain language to factory and office staff

Our client is one of Australia's largest commercial tiling contractors, delivering floor and wall tiling, waterproofing, screeding and stone for builders and developers. Our client also manufactures stone benchtops in their own fabrication facility in Coolaroo, Melbourne. Our factory runs on a custom operations platform build on Replit, covering factory kiosks, stone job tracking, dispatch dockets, client portals and workforce KPIs.

Excellent salary package on offer with base salary in the range of $90k to $105k plus Superannuation.
