Your Role
As an AI Operations Manager (all genders), you drive how envelio adopts and uses AI internally as a company - discovering high-value AI use cases across departments and shaping them into a coherent landscape that teams actually use, rather than a patchwork of individual experiments.
Above all, you are the enabler and connector for AI adoption across envelio. The heart of this role is working hand in hand with every department: discovering concrete AI use cases, understanding what value AI can bring to each team's value streams, and being the link that turns those opportunities into real adoption on the ground. The technical direction, architecture, and platform are owned by our AI Platform Engineers; your success is measured by adoption across the company, not by the technology itself.
This is a senior individual contributor role with company-wide reach. You don't manage people, but you shape decisions and patterns that touch every function at envelio.
Who You Work With
- Department leads across envelio - your primary stakeholders and the source of most use cases
- AI champions in every department - embedded counterparts who scout use cases, pilot patterns, and drive adoption inside their teams; you'll work with them day-to-day to turn ideas into reusable patterns
- AI Platform Engineers - the role that owns the technical direction, platform, and architecture; you bring them the use cases and requirements, and they make the technical decisions
- Engineering teams building or using internal AI - you bring use cases to them and collaborate closely, rather than setting the technical bar yourself
- Governance, security, and executive leadership - partners on direction, policy, and decisions
How You Make an Impact
- You act as the enabler and connector for AI adoption across envelio — partnering closely with every department to discover AI use cases, map them to the value AI can create in each team's value streams, and be the link that turns scattered experiments into shared momentum
- You build a clear picture of where AI can create value across how envelio works internally: which problems are worth solving, and which use cases to prioritize first
- You surface and champion the use cases teams pursue and help define what success looks like so the value is real and measurable
- You translate department needs into clear requirements for AI tooling and AI-enabled SaaS, partnering with the AI Platform Engineers who own the technical evaluation and selection
- You bring the use-case and value perspective into envelio's strategic AI questions, so that platform and build-vs-buy decisions reflect what departments actually need
- You partner with governance to translate policy into patterns teams can follow, and drive adoption across departments
- You bring deep technical credibility to every department - enough to judge what's feasible, pressure-test ideas, and earn engineers' trust
