Job Level
About the role
- Embed directly with teams across go-to-market, Engineering, Product, Operations, Finance, and Customer Experience to identify high-value AI use cases and unblock adoption
- Design, prototype, and ship internal AI workflows and tools (prompt libraries, automation scripts, internal apps) that solve real problems – both directly and by enabling teams to become self sufficient
- Evaluate and recommend AI tooling—LLMs, copilots, automation platforms—with a bias toward practical deployment over proof-of-concept theater
- Build reusable playbooks, templates, and reference implementations that teams can adopt independently
- Establish measurement frameworks to track adoption, productivity impact, and ROI
- Own select AI-driven initiatives end-to-end, from scoping through delivery
- Drive vendor evaluation, stakeholder alignment, implementation planning, and rollout for assigned initiatives
- Coordinate across Product, Engineering, Customer Experience, and external vendors to hit milestones and manage dependencies
- Define success metrics and own post-launch adoption and iteration
- Drive awareness, excitement, and fluency around AI across the organization
- Run workshops, office hours, and enablement sessions tailored to different audiences (engineers, PMs, operations staff, leadership)
- Co-own and evolve existing programs: The Vanguard (AI champions network), The Forge (internal hackathon series), and LINQ Labs (internal tools environment)
- Translate technical AI capabilities into business-relevant language for non-technical stakeholders
- Surface and amplify success stories to build organizational momentum
- Partner with the CTO to refine and execute LINQ’s AI strategy
- Maintain an AI adoption roadmap with clear priorities, dependencies, and milestones
- Collaborate with Security (CISO) and Compliance to ensure AI tooling meets FERPA, COPPA, PCI, and CCPA requirements
- Track the AI vendor landscape and make informed build-vs-buy-vs-integrate recommendations
- Contribute to board and investor narratives around LINQ’s AI maturity
Requirements
- 8+ years in technical program management, developer experience, platform engineering, or a similarly cross-functional technical role
- Demonstrated ability to drive adoption of new tools and practices across an engineering organization—not just advocacy, but measurable results
- Strong technical fluency: you can review prompts, evaluate AI tools, design workflows, and build prototypes (scripting, light app development, API integrations)
- Experience working with LLMs, AI copilots, or automation tooling in a professional context—not just personal experimentation
- Exceptional written and verbal communication; you can explain complex technical concepts to a CFO and debug a prompt chain with an engineer in the same afternoon
- Comfort operating in ambiguity with minimal direction; you define the path, not just walk it
- Experience in a PE-backed, multi-product SaaS environment (or similar complexity)
