Jobbeschreibung

Your mission

About Us We are building next-generation AI-native automation products for enterprise finance and Global Business Services (GBS). Our focus is on intelligent document and process automation, combining cutting-edge AI research with real-world enterprise applications. We work with global consulting firms and multinational clients, and are now expanding our leadership capacity in AI.

The Role: We are seeking a Director of AI to act as a key leader in our AI organization—essentially a “mini-CTO” for AI. You will drive innovation, productization, and delivery of AI automation solutions, working across R&D, product, and customer success. This is a highly hands-on role, combining technical depth with leadership responsibilities.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead applied AI research in LLMs, agent frameworks, RAG, embeddings, and multimodal document understanding.
• Drive productization: transform prototypes into scalable, reliable SaaS and on-prem solutions.
• Design and refine AI pipelines for automation (prompting, orchestration, validation, continuous learning).
• Collaborate with Product, PS, and CS teams to ensure customer requirements translate into robust AI features.
• Mentor and grow AI engineers, delivery specialists, and researchers; help define team structure.
• Represent the company’s AI vision internally and externally, including with strategic partners and enterprise clients.
• Balance experimentation and delivery: move fast, but with enterprise-grade quality.

Your profile

What We’re Looking For:

• Deep hands-on expertise with LLMs, AI agents, RAG, embeddings, and orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, MCP, etc.).
• Strong track record in AI productization (building features beyond prototypes).
• Experience with enterprise automation domains (finance, GBS, ERP systems like SAP/Oracle/Workday, etc.) is a plus.
• Proven ability to work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Delivery teams.
• Leadership qualities: able to coach, mentor, and inspire a growing AI team.
• Pragmatic builder: combines research curiosity with execution discipline.

Why Join Us:

• Be at the forefront of AI-native enterprise automation.
• Work with leading global clients and partners.
• Shape the future of our AI organization and products.
• Join a collaborative, ambitious, and international team
