Description

Elite AI strategists who transform business visions into technological realities are rare. We're seeking one to lead our charge.

At Ignite, we don't just theorize about AI's potential—we harness it to drive measurable business outcomes. While others struggle to bridge the gap between AI possibilities and practical implementation, we're building that bridge—and we need a visionary architect to lead the way.

As our Manager of Artificial Intelligence, you'll craft the strategic roadmap that connects our ambitious vision to tangible results. You'll spearhead cutting-edge R&D initiatives, with particular focus on Generative AI, identifying and implementing technologies that revolutionize our operations. Beyond technical leadership, you'll mentor high-performing teams, guiding them to architect, optimize, and validate AI solutions that exceed both technical standards and business requirements.

What you will be doing

  • Design and execute Ignite's AI strategic vision, ensuring perfect alignment with corporate objectives and emerging market opportunities
  • Lead pioneering research and development initiatives that push technological boundaries while delivering measurable business impact
  • Architect sophisticated AI solutions with rigorous standards for performance, scalability, and business value
  • Cultivate technical excellence within your team through strategic mentorship and implementation of advanced AI methodologies

What you will NOT be doing

  • Oversee routine maintenance of existing AI systems—your focus is strategic innovation, not operational management
  • Conduct purely academic research without clear paths to business application—every initiative you lead must deliver tangible value
  • Work in isolation—you'll collaborate with cross-functional leadership to ensure AI initiatives support enterprise-wide objectives

Key responsibilities

  • Transform Ignite's business trajectory through strategic AI implementation that creates competitive advantage and drives measurable growth

Candidate requirements

  • Substantial experience in the AI industry with demonstrated expertise in innovation leadership, strategic planning, and team development
  • Proven track record of successfully leading AI teams through complex initiatives that directly advanced business objectives
  • Advanced proficiency in generative AI technologies beyond basic usage—demonstrated ability to create automated workflows, develop custom GPTs, and implement sophisticated AI applications
  • Strong technical foundation in Python programming and comprehensive understanding of machine learning frameworks and their strategic business applications
