Director of AI Transformation
Daxko, Birmingham, AL, United States
Daxko builds the software that powers fitness, wellness, and community organizations—everything from member management and payments to digital engagement and analytics. From small studios to the largest associations, we help thousands of fitness businesses streamline operations, enhance member experiences, and drive sustainable revenue growth.
What You’ll Do
Shape how AI shows up at Daxko: You’ll define and lead our enterprise AI strategy, building a clear roadmap for how AI and automation improve the way we work. You’ll prioritize initiatives based on real business impact and ensure we’re investing in the right tools and platforms.
Turn ideas into real outcomes: This isn’t a strategy-only role. You’ll partner across teams to bring high‑impact AI and automation initiatives to life — from early concept through implementation and adoption.
Lead change across the organization: AI transformation is as much about people as it is about technology. You’ll guide how we introduce, communicate, and scale AI across teams. That includes partnering with HR on training, building role‑specific learning paths, and helping employees feel confident using AI in their day‑to‑day work.
Build the foundation for responsible AI: You’ll work closely with Security, Legal, and Data teams to ensure AI is used safely and responsibly. You’ll help shape how we manage data, govern tools, and create clear guidelines that support both innovation and trust.
Drive smarter, more connected ways of working: You’ll identify opportunities to automate and streamline workflows across the business. By partnering with functional leaders, you’ll help teams adopt AI assistants, copilots, and automation tools that reduce manual work and improve efficiency.
Measure what matters: You’ll define how we track success — from time saved and adoption rates to overall business impact — and share progress with leadership to guide future investment and priorities.
