Head of AI & Automation

We’re a startup going agentic 🚀

We're looking for an experienced Head of AI & Automation with strong ownership and a track record of delivering high-performance, production-grade systems end-to-end. You'll work closely with a small, fast-moving team to design and implement scalable AI and automation workflows.

➡️ About this role:

This is qiibee's first dedicated AI hire — and one of the most consequential roles we've ever created. You'll own the end-to-end rollout of AI agents across the company: from mapping repeating workflows to deploying production-ready automations, and from quick wins to complex multi-step agentic pipelines.

You'll sit at the intersection of strategy and engineering, working directly with every team to identify where AI creates the most leverage — and then building it yourself. This isn't a consultant role or an oversight role. You'll be hands-on in the code and in the room.

💪🏻 What you'll own:

• Lead company-wide AI agent strategy — own the roadmap, prioritize high-impact opportunities, and personally build and deploy agents using Claude and team-specific tools across the organization.


• Cross-functional automation — partner with Sales, CS, Product, Finance, Ops, and Engineering to identify manual workflows and convert them into intelligent, automated agent pipelines.


• Agent architecture & oversight — define prompt design and agent logic for both simple automations and complex multi-agent systems, while maintaining a live registry tracking performance and cost.


• Internal adoption & enablement — design and run company-wide AI programs including hackathons, onboarding tracks, and dogfooding initiatives, with clear success metrics around participation and business impact.


• ROI & impact measurement — establish frameworks to track cycle time reduction, error rates, cost avoidance, and productivity gains, ensuring pilots scale into production-grade workflows with measurable outcomes.


• AI governance & risk management — implement guardrails for responsible AI use, overseeing data handling, access controls, prompt leakage prevention, and compliance in partnership with Security, Legal, and IT.

• Strategic AI intelligence — lead a structured AI watch program to monitor trends, emerging tools, and regulations, translating insights into prioritized pilots and executive guidance on build-vs-buy decisions.


• Storytelling & evangelism — create reusable internal playbooks and reference implementations, while collaborating with Marketing and Sales to showcase the company's AI capabilities externally.

💼 Must-Have

• 🧠 AI Expertise — Deep hands-on experience with the Claude/Anthropic ecosystem, multiple LLM frameworks, and the ability to evaluate tools, risks, and architectural tradeoffs confidently.


• 🛠️ Automation Platforms — Proven expertise with Make, n8n, Zapier, or similar tools, having shipped real business-critical workflows end-to-end.


• 🔌 API & Integration Skills — Strong command of REST APIs, webhooks, data pipelines, and external connectors like HubSpot, Notion, and Google Workspace.


• 🧩 Multi-Agent Orchestration — Ability to design and manage complex multi-agent systems and independently identify high-leverage automation opportunities.


• 🛡️ Governance & Security Mindset — Solid understanding of data handling, privacy, access controls, vendor risk, and compliance in AI-driven environments.


• 📊 ROI & Impact Driven — Measures success through tangible business outcomes — cycle time, error reduction, cost avoidance — not just adoption numbers.


• 💼 Fintech Background — Experience operating in high-growth fintech environments, ideally at startup or scale-up stage with cross-functional exposure.
