Job Summary
We are seeking a hands‑on, high‑impact AI & Automation Operations Lead to help modernize and scale our business through practical use of AI, automation, and smarter workflows. This is not a strategy‑only role. We are looking for a builder and operator — someone who can assess how work gets done today, redesign processes for efficiency, implement tools quickly, and drive measurable business results (across multiple departments). The ideal candidate understands both business operations and modern technology, with the ability to bridge the gap between leadership vision and day‑to‑day execution.

Design and implement workflow automations across systems and teams

Integrate platforms using APIs and no‑code / low‑code tools

Improve reporting, dashboards, and operational visibility

Train employees on new AI‑enabled tools and processes

Lead adoption and change management across teams

Measure ROI, time savings, cost reductions, and business impact of initiatives

Partner directly with leadership to prioritize highest‑value opportunities

Build scalable systems that support future company growth

Preferred Tools & Experience

OpenAI / Anthropic / LLM tools such as ChatGPT or Claude

CRM systems such as HubSpot, Salesforce, or similar

Business intelligence / reporting tools

SOP documentation and process improvement frameworks

Ideal Backgrounds

Operations Leader Turned AI Builder:

Strong operations or business process background who has become highly capable with modern AI tools.

Consultant / Fractional Operator:

Someone who has built automation systems across multiple businesses and can execute quickly.

Independent Builder Seeking Ownership:

Consultant or freelancer ready to go deep inside one company and create lasting impact.

Mid‑Level Technical Builder:

Technical professional seeking more ownership, speed, and real business impact.

What Success Looks Like
Within the first 6–12 months, this person will help us:

Increase speed and efficiency across departments

Improve reporting and visibility

Upskill teams on practical AI usage

Deliver measurable ROI on technology investments

What We’re Looking For

Strong business judgment and operational mindset

Builder mentality with bias toward action

Comfortable working independently in a fast‑moving environment

Strong communicator who can work with both frontline teams and executives

Practical thinker who values outcomes over hype

Ability to simplify complexity and make change stick

This is an opportunity to help shape the future of an established and growing business through innovation, ownership, and meaningful execution. You will have direct access to leadership, real autonomy, and the ability to make visible impact quickly.

This role is eligible for remote work. However, candidates located near our Bonita Springs, Florida headquarters, or those able to work onsite periodically, may be preferred based on business needs and collaboration requirements.

Employment is contingent upon successful completion of a background check.
