In this role, you’ll:

• Set the direction for internal AI, align leaders around the highest-impact opportunities, and build the operating system that turns strategy into execution.
• Partner closely with teams across the company to embed AI into how we plan, work, and make decisions—bringing clarity, consistency, and momentum as we scale.

Responsibilities

• Define and evolve UserTesting’s internal AI strategy, aligned to company priorities and long-term growth.
• Establish and drive an annual AI roadmap, partnering with executive and functional leaders to prioritize investments and align on tradeoffs.
• Lead enterprise AI governance, including cross-functional alignment with Legal, Security, and IT, and oversight of the AI Governance Council.
• Define and enforce standards for how AI tools are evaluated, deployed, and scaled—reducing duplication and enabling consistent adoption.
• Drive progress of the internal AI portfolio in partnership with functional leaders, ensuring alignment, removing blockers, and tracking measurable business impact (e.g., efficiency, quality, cost, decision speed).
• Translate AI capabilities into real operating model changes, including workflows, roles, and processes.
• Manage enterprise AI investment and allocate resources across tools, partners, and internal development.
• Lead and deploy a small technical team to design and build solutions for high-priority, cross-functional AI initiatives and use cases where dedicated functional capacity does not exist.
• Provide regular updates to executive leadership and contribute to Board-level discussions on AI strategy and progress.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in enterprise strategy, operations, transformation, product operations, or technical program leadership.
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional initiatives and manage complex portfolios at scale.
• Strong program management and governance skills, with a focus on execution and outcomes.
• Experience influencing senior leaders and driving alignment across functions.
• Solid understanding of AI technologies (e.g., LLMs, automation, agent-based systems) and their business applications.
• Demonstrated ability to move from experimentation to scaled adoption, translating pilots into sustainable solutions with measurable ROI.
• Strong understanding of SaaS business models, including GTM strategy, ARR, and product development cycles.
• Experience operating in highly cross-functional or federated environments where ownership is distributed.
