About the Role:
Lean is at a pivotal moment in its growth. We recognize that AI and agentic ways of working are the way forward. It’s not a question of if, we’re committed to getting there, and we need someone to lead us through this transformative journey. We’ve always been a business built on high-level strategy, but with AI and automation, we’re ready to scale faster and amplify our impact. As the AI & Automation Lead, you’ll build the department from the ground up. Initially, this role will be hands-on, involving both strategy and execution, as you shape how we apply AI across the business.
Your primary focus will be to create intelligent workflows and multi-agent systems that deliver real business value. The goal is to multiply our marketers’ impact, supercharging their ability to drive results and value through AI-powered systems. That’s where it starts. But we’re also building toward a standalone product on top of that foundation. One that takes everything we learn and build through our service and turns it into a scalable solution. There’s a lot of unknowns, and we need someone who’s excited to explore them, someone who’ll treat this like their own venture and shape what comes next.
What You’ll Do:
- Build the department from the ground up, establishing systems, processes, and workflows that integrate AI agents into our day-to-day operations.
- Lead the strategy and execution of AI and automation solutions, building intelligent agents that drive real results for our clients.
- Partner closely with the internal team of marketers to align AI solutions with business goals, ensuring every innovation delivers measurable outcomes.
- Foster a culture of experimentation and learning as we explore new ways to automate processes and extend capabilities.
- Stay ahead of AI trends and best practices, constantly improving our methods and systems to stay on the cutting edge.
Who We’re Looking For:
We need someone with proven experience in AI and automation. But more importantly, we need a sharp thinker who will understand the business side just as well. This role isn’t about following prompts and preset requirements or being part of an R&D team tucked away from the real action. You’ll be applying AI directly to real business and marketing problems, and you’ll need the judgment to know what’s worth building and why.
- You’ve been hands-on with AI agents (building, training, fine-tuning) and know your way around LLMs, workflow tools (n8n, Make, Zapier), vector databases, and integration stacks.
- You’re familiar with or have experience with clustered multi-agent environments, structured for scalability and efficiency.
- You get that AI isn’t the goal, business outcomes are. And you know how to drive them.
- You can build from scratch, with no manual, no hand-holding.
- You thrive in chaos, adapt fast, and move faster.
- Bonus if you understand marketing systems, but not required.
What We Offer:
- Equity.
- Speed. A seat at the forefront of a fast-moving AI evolution.
- A team of sharp, passionate people who are just as obsessed with this space as you are.
