## Job Description

## Key Responsibilities
- **Own End-to-End Delivery**: Lead complex, large-scale AI implementations at Fortune 500 clients — managing parallel workstreams, owning the delivery timeline, and holding the team accountable to measurable outcomes on time and on budget
- **Enforce Operational Rigor**: Ensure goals are clear and commitments are kept. A program doesn't ship until success is defined, ownership is clear, and risk is understood
- **Build Deep Client Trust**: Establish and sustain trust with enterprise clients. Manage expectations with precision, align delivery to contracted outcomes, and lay the groundwork for lasting partnerships through demonstrated, measurable value
- **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

## Who You Are
- A Chaos Wrangler: You bring order to ambiguity without slowing things down. You identify what's unclear, make it clear, and keep the program moving
- A Background That Proves It: Proven experience delivering large-scale programs for enterprise clients, including programs with significant budgets ($10M+)
- An Enterprise-Scale Executor
- Accountable
- A Strong Communicator Across All Levels
- A Raiser of the Bar
- Comfortable in Chaos
- AI-Native, Not Just AI-Curious
- Travel-Ready and Customer-Obsessed: Expect 25–50% travel

## What We Offer
- The base salary range for this role is $140K – $200K, depending on experience, location, and level. In addition to base compensation, this role is eligible for meaningful equity, along with a comprehensive benefits package
- 100% covered medical, dental, and vision for employees and dependents
- 401(k) with additional perks (e.g., commuter benefits, in‑office lunch)
