Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Arcadia is an AI-powered energy intelligence platform that helps businesses manage utility bills, energy procurement, and sustainability reporting. The AI Operations Lead will own the company’s AI transformation by identifying high-impact workflow opportunities, defining and scaling Claude skills, agents, and automations, and partnering with engineering and cross-functional teams to drive adoption and measurable outcomes.
Responsibilities
- Embed team to team. Rotate through teams across the company to map current-state workflows end to end: where time goes, where decisions stall, where handoffs between teams and functions compress or disappear. Translate that into a prioritized set of high-leverage AI opportunities for each team, backed by a clear point of view on sequencing and expected impact
- Own the product definition for Claude skills and workflows. Write the requirements, define the success criteria, and set priority for the reusable Claude skills, agents, and automations teams adopt, then partner closely with engineering to ship them. Redesign the workflow around the capability and outcome rather than bolting AI onto an unchanged process
- Engage and grow the champion network. Every team is expected to have an AI champion. In many cases you'll help identify who that should be, then enable them to extend, maintain, and evangelize workflows after you've moved on, so capability compounds instead of depending on you
- Codify what works. Turn every win into a reusable pattern (a shared library of skills, templates, and playbooks) so a solution built for one team becomes a starting point for the next
- Keep builds safe and compliant. Partner with the governance lanes (Security & Compliance; AI Technical Approach) so every workflow meets Arcadia's data-handling, classification, and human-in-the-loop standards by design
- Measure and report impact. Track adoption, time saved, and workflow outcomes. Make the case for scaling what works and retiring what doesn't, and feed signal back to leadership
Skills
- 5–8 years of product management, workflow, or process-design experience, spotting where work breaks down across departments and turning that into prioritized, well-scoped initiatives that teams actually adopted, not just launched
- Strong workflow- and process-design instincts. You can sit with a team in any function, see the real operating model underneath the org chart, and define what needs to change
- Fluency in translating a business problem into clear requirements and success criteria that engineering can build against, and in evaluating tradeoffs in a build even if you are not the one writing the code
- The interpersonal range to win trust across very different teams and cultures, and to bring a skeptic along
- A bias for reusable systems over heroics. You'd rather define the pattern once than solve the same problem ten times
- Comfort operating in ambiguity inside a fast-moving, post-acquisition organization
- Experience standing up enablement, center-of-excellence, or champion-network models
- Familiarity with AI governance concepts (data classification, human-in-the-loop, security review)
- Exposure to AI-native operating models at high-performing software organizations
- Background in R&D, product, or engineering operations
- United States
- Please note that we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this position at this time
- Extra credit if you've shipped AI-enabled workflows or automations directly
- Hands-on experience building Claude skills, agents, or similar automations, though this is not required
