Description

Do you possess the rare blend of technical acumen and visionary leadership that can transform AI concepts into groundbreaking realities? If so, your opportunity awaits.

At Ignite, we recognize AI's potential to revolutionize industries. Yet, many enterprises falter in bridging the gap between theoretical AI concepts and practical application. We are committed to harnessing AI's transformative power by aligning it strategically with business outcomes.

As the Head of Artificial Intelligence, your mission transcends ordinary project management. You'll craft a strategic AI roadmap that bridges our high-level vision with tangible results. Your role will involve spearheading pioneering R&D efforts, with a focus on Generative AI, to discover technologies that can reshape our operations.

Moreover, you'll be an inspiring mentor, addressing knowledge gaps within your team. Leading by example, you'll guide your team in designing, optimizing, and validating cutting-edge AI solutions that meet both technical and business needs.

  • Design, refine, and validate high-performance AI solutions that meet both technical and business requirements.
  • Foster a culture of continuous learning, mentoring, and coaching your team to master advanced AI methodologies.
