Director of AI | Remote, US (Eastern or Central time preferred) | $235,000 to $275,000 base + 20% bonus

Give AI real leadership and scale inside a global business where the CEO is fully committed to deploying AI across the organisation.

The Company
An established global travel management company now under new ownership, investing heavily in data and AI. A small team is working on a global-scale data problem with an ambitious roadmap that spans internal tools, a customer-facing data product and a large servicing operation.

The Role

  • Own AI strategy in partnership with the executive leading Data and AI.
  • Take over and expand the agentic capability in the external data product, including MCP strategy, integrations and recommendations.
  • Deploy AI across omnichannel customer servicing to deflect and resolve inquiries.
  • Build the team: start with contractors, then hire ML and AI engineers.
  • Prototype hands-on, and judge ROI to separate genuine AI opportunities from process fixes.
  • Lead adoption across the business through town halls and internal education.

What We're Looking For

  • A track record of shipping production AI systems end to end, with a hands-on role in the build.
  • Agentic AI depth: agent harness engineering, multi-model orchestration, agent-to-agent communication and MCP.
  • Python, LangChain, LangGraph and Langfuse, with both open-source and proprietary tooling.
  • Experience managing engineering teams and building AI or ML teams.
  • Working knowledge of AI regulation, such as the EU AI Act, applied to agentic system design.
  • Nice to have: a path into AI from ML or software engineering. Staff-level individual contributors may be considered.

What's On Offer

  • $235,000 to $275,000 base plus 20% bonus.
  • Fully remote within the US.
  • CEO-level sponsorship for AI across the organisation.
  • Ownership of a small, focused team built to your roadmap.
  • US citizens and green card holders only. Visa sponsorship is not available.
