Job Description:
AI Solutions Lead
Group-level role | Group name TBD
Reports to: Tony Quarella, Group Leader (performance)
Day-to-day priority owner: Katherine Burke, Director of ARM, InnoSoft (dotted line)
Role Summary
The AI Solutions Lead is a group-level resource responsible for driving applied AI outcomes across the business units within Tony Quarella's group. The role splits roughly 80/20 from day one: ~80% on InnoSoft, owning the design and delivery of a customer intelligence and knowledge aggregator platform — wired first into the Support team to compress time-to-answer ahead of the back-to-school rush, then extended to Finn optimization and ARM/health-score work as the platform matures; ~20% on group-level AI enablement — running maturity assessments, building shared standards and conventions, spot-building tools for high-ROI opportunities, and facilitating workshops across the portfolio. The split is reassessed at the 6-month review as the InnoSoft project arc opens room for broader group work.
This is a hands-on builder role for someone who wants deep ownership over a high-impact project — not a strategy or advisory function. The ideal candidate combines technical capability with strong business judgment and the discipline to ship working solutions over polished presentations.
Primary Responsibilities
InnoSoft — Customer Intelligence Platform (first 6 months, ~80%)
A phased build of a cross-platform data + knowledge aggregator — wiring the systems that already hold customer truth (CRM, support, engineering, internal knowledge) into a unified, queryable layer for InnoSoft's customer-facing teams. The phase ordering deliberately puts Support first, dog-foods Finn improvement off the back of validated answers, and brings ARM/health-score work in once underlying HubSpot data is rich enough to make the comparison meaningful.
Phase 1 — Support Co-Pilot (first ~2 months, hard August 1 gate):
- Define Support workflows and core use cases in scoping sessions with Katherine Burke and Sue (Support team lead) before wiring data
- Stand up the base platform (e.g. Orbit or Claude); wire HubSpot, Zendesk, Jira, Slack, the codebase, and Guru/Confluence as MCP-backed data sources
- Resolve the unified customer-ID approach across systems (~400 clients) in coordination with Sneh and Andrew Wall
- Deliver V1 internal Support Co-Pilot: a rep dumps a ticket (or ticket number, or a specific question) and the tool runs discovery across the wired sources, returning an answer or next steps with citations
- Replace the current "go to Slack and ask someone else's brain" fallback pattern; reduce ad-hoc rep-driven Finn queries (which currently cost ~$1/query)
- Establish a feedback loop on signal quality and answer accuracy — humans-in-the-loop validate before any promotion to Finn
Phase 2 — Finn Optimization (months ~2-4, landing through fall school season):
- Off the back of validated Co-Pilot answers, design and ship a promotion mechanism to Finn. Three candidate paths (decided based on dogfooding evidence and Finn's actual ingestion model):
Workflow-based extract: validated Co-Pilot answers exported in a proven format and ingested by Finn
Direct integration: Finn calls into the Co-Pilot data layer at query time
Artifact-driven: Co-Pilot generates documentation/knowledge artifacts that Finn ingests through standard channels
- Drive measurable Rex/Finn resolution-rate improvement attributable to the integration
- Iterate on the underlying knowledge layer to maximize quality of Finn responses
Phase 3 — ARM + Health Scoring (month 4+):
- Extend platform to the ARM team
- Build per-client customer history layer (CRM history + ticket history + sentiment + AWS hosting cost / contract renewal dates / engagement signals — long-term + medium-term + current state)
- Compare against HubSpot's native health score (which Katherine will have had time to maximize independently); position the platform's contribution as augmentation, not replacement
- Enable team members across ARM and Support to build their own MCPs and agents; address broader workflow bottlenecks
Group-Level AI Enablement (first 6 months, ~20%; reassessed after)
- Run AI Maturity assessments and the AI Maturity Tool surveys across portfolio businesses as directed
- Spot-build tools for teams and individuals where high-ROI opportunities are identified (timeboxed — these stay short engagements)
- Develop and maintain AI standards, conventions, and governance guidelines for the group (interaction patterns, tone, prompt discipline, tool selection — beyond the existing Jonas policy on which tools are approved)
- Stay current on AI tooling and trends; surface relevant developments to the Group Leader and BU leadership
- Facilitate AI workshops and enablement sessions across the portfolio (e.g., ProviderSoft Summit Day 2 — June 2026)
Coach / Enablement Posture
This is not a behind-the-desk-only build role. The expectation is hands-on enablement: pairing with team members, teaching tools, distilling learnings into shareable patterns, and helping the broader org level up.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Demonstrated ability to build AI-powered tools end-to-end, from data to interface
- Comfort operating with ambiguity and incomplete data — this is a greenfield build with an aggressive first-deliverable timeline
- Strong business instincts: able to translate Support, Finn, and ARM team needs into system design decisions
- Coaching disposition: comfortable pairing with, teaching, and unblocking non-technical teammates as part of the daily work
- Disciplined focus: able to resist scope creep and shiny-object distractions in favor of shipping the August 1 deliverable
- Familiarity with HubSpot, Zendesk, or similar CRM/support platforms a plus
- Experience in SaaS or B2B software environments preferred
