About The Role
We are looking for a senior, hands-on AI & Data Science Director to lead the next phase of Clarity AI’s applied AI evolution. This role sits at the intersection of data science, generative AI, platform thinking, and organizational leadership.
You will provide senior technical and people leadership to a team that must continue delivering on classical data science priorities while increasingly incorporating LLM-based and generative AI capabilities into products and internal workflows.
This is a high-impact role for someone who combines strong machine learning fundamentals with current, practical experience in GenAI, and who can translate that expertise into team structure, execution discipline, and business outcomes.
What You’ll Be Doing
- AI & Data Science Strategy: Defining and evolving the company’s AI strategy across traditional machine learning, experimentation, evaluation, and generative AI applications.
- Technical Leadership: Acting as the senior technical anchor for the function, ensuring the team applies strong scientific thinking, robust experimentation practices, and sound engineering judgment.
- GenAI Adoption: Identifying where LLMs, agents, and related tooling can materially improve products, workflows, and team leverage, while avoiding hype-driven decisions.
- Ecosystem Building: Creating the environment, tooling patterns, and ways of working that allow teams with mixed seniority to build and operate AI solutions effectively.
- Team Leadership & Development: Coaching and developing emerging leaders and strong individual contributors, while helping define the right long-term organizational structure.
- Cross-functional Translation: Bridging product, engineering, platform, and executive stakeholders to ensure AI initiatives are actionable, aligned, and well-prioritized.
- Organizational Stabilization: Providing the seniority and leadership depth needed during a period of team transition and leadership change.
- Selective Hiring: Helping calibrate and attract senior profiles who combine machine learning depth, strong judgment, and practical exposure to modern GenAI systems.
