• Drive Stakeholder Alignment: Navigate client executives, technical teams, and Distyl leadership with confidence. Provide clear, honest reporting on program status and surface risks before they become problems
• Operate at Maximum Velocity: Keep programs moving in fast-changing environments. Adapt quickly when priorities shift without losing momentum or dropping balls
• Grow and Motivate Teams: Onboard and organize forward-deployed engineers and AI strategists to design and build cutting-edge AI solutions at the client site
• Operate as an AI-Native: You don't just champion AI — you use it. You stay on top of the latest models and tools, reinvent your own workflows continuously, and push your teams to do the same
• Write the Playbook: Author best practices for delivering AI programs at scale. Distyl AI Operators should be the envy of the industry
