AI Strategy & Applications Lead

SeneGence, Sapulpa, OK, United States


Role Summary

The AI Strategy & Applications Lead owns the end-to-end application of AI across SeneGence to drive revenue, reduce cost, and unlock new platform capabilities. This is not a research role. It is a builder/operator role that identifies high-leverage business opportunities and deploys AI (LLMs, agents, automation) into production workflows.

Core Mandate (What success looks like) • Increase revenue (conversion, AOV, retention, distributor productivity) • Reduce operational cost (automation, headcount efficiency, error reduction) • Build internal AI capability (tools, workflows, knowledge systems) • Establish the foundation for "SeneGence as a platform" through AI-powered distributor tools

Key Responsibilities

Business-First AI Deployment • Identify high-ROI AI use cases across:

- Distributor experience (onboarding, selling tools, training)

- eCommerce (Shopify, TikTok Shop, Amazon optimization)

- Customer service (Gorgias automation, AI agents)

- Marketing (content generation, personalization, creative operations)

- Operations (forecasting, inventory, pricing optimization) • Prioritize initiatives based on financial impact and speed to value • Define clear business cases, success metrics, and expected outcomes for each initiative

LLM & Agent Implementation • Design, deploy, and manage LLM-based systems, including:

- Internal knowledge assistants (product, compensation plan, training)

- Distributor-facing AI advisors (selling scripts, skincare recommendations, field enablement)

- Customer-facing support agents integrated into existing channels • Leverage third-party APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) rather than building models from scratch • Integrate AI solutions with Shopify, Dynamics, CRM, PIM/DAM, and other core platforms

Automation & Workflow Design • Replace manual, repetitive workflows with AI-driven processes and lightweight agent systems • Build and orchestrate automations that:

- Execute tasks (reporting, content creation, support responses)

- Trigger actions across systems (notifications, updates, routing, workflow steps) • Partner with IT and system owners while maintaining the ability to move quickly and ship independently using no-code/low-code and API-based tools

Data Utilization • Turn existing data (sales trends, distributor behavior, product performance, customer interactions) into usable intelligence • Build practical outputs (dashboards, copilots, targeted reports) that drive decisions • Ensure AI solutions are grounded in accurate, well-governed data

Internal AI Enablement • Train teams across marketing, eCommerce, customer service, and operations on effective use of AI tools • Develop standardized prompts, workflows, and playbooks that can scale across the organization • Act as the internal AI translator, connecting business needs with technical execution and ensuring leaders understand trade-offs and impact

Candidate Profile

Must Have • Strong business instincts with the ability to quickly identify high-ROI opportunities • Hands-on experience with:

- LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, APIs)

- Automation tools (Zapier, Make, n8n, or similar)

- Data handling and analysis (Excel, BI tools, basic SQL or equivalent) • Proven builder mindset with a track record of shipping, iterating, and measuring impact • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building structure where it does not yet exist

Nice to Have • Experience with Shopify, eCommerce, or direct selling / network marketing environments • Exposure to CRM and CX tools (Gorgias, Salesforce, HubSpot, or similar) • Familiarity with APIs, webhooks, and system integrations
