About the Role
Are you passionate about the transformative power of artificial intelligence? Do you thrive in cross-functional environments where strategy, technology, and innovation intersect? Are you ready to lead AI initiatives that drive business intelligence, operational efficiency, and strategic growth across the Americas? If you answered "yes," we want to hear from you!
The AI Business Intelligence & Sales Systems Specialist reports to the Operations Leader, Americas, and is responsible for driving AI initiatives across our Americas business — North America and Latin America. This role aligns regional strategies with global AI programs, delivers AI projects that support business objectives, and applies AI and automation to the sales systems, pricing, and order management processes that power our Americas Sales organization.
Partnering with Sales, Finance, Strategy, IT, and Global Technology teams across multiple countries, you will turn AI goals into practical, measurable outcomes, champion responsible AI, and serve as a key point of contact for system and pricing escalations. The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker with deep knowledge of AI technologies and platforms, a hands-on understanding of sales operations systems, and a proven ability to manage projects across diverse, multicultural teams.
This is a hands-on, multi-faceted role: you may be piloting a generative AI tool or building a predictive model one day and automating an order flow or pricing workflow the next. Success requires strong systems thinking, sound judgment, and the ability to bring clarity in fast-paced environments.
