Head of Innovation

We are looking for a visionary Head of AI & Strategic Innovation to lead our transition into an AI-First Software Factory. In this role, you will not only be an expert in the latest Generative AI stack but also a strategic architect of how we work, how we sell, and how we deliver value.

This is not a "research-only" position; you will be the driving force behind our AI Department. You will be responsible for evolving our software development lifecycle—moving from manual coding to Spec-Driven Development—and for optimizing every internal area (from Sales to HR) through intelligent automation. You will work directly with the C-suite and Tech Leads to ensure our offering remains at the absolute forefront of the industry, transforming AI complexity into competitive advantages for our clients.

Requirements

Must have

8+ years of experience in the Software Industry: With a proven track record of moving from senior technical roles (Architect/Lead) to strategic or product-oriented positions.

Generative AI & LLM Mastery: Deep, hands-on experience with OpenAI (GPT-4o/o1/o3), Anthropic (Claude 3.7/Sonnet), and DeepSeek. You must understand the trade-offs between model reasoning, latency, and costs.

Next-Gen DevEx: Proficiency in AI-native development environments (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf) and the ability to implement Spec-Driven Development frameworks across the organization.

Agentic Workflows & RAG: Proven experience designing and deploying autonomous agents and Advanced RAG architectures. Mastery of orchestration frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI) and Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect AI with internal tools.

Operational Automation: Advanced knowledge of n8n, Make, or similar tools to automate complex cross-departmental business processes (Sales, HR, Finance).

Strategic Presales: Ability to translate "AI hype" into concrete business cases, accompanying the Sales team to close high-value projects by demonstrating superior TTM (Time-to-Market) and innovation.

Continuous Learning: A documented "Early Adopter" mindset—staying 24 hours ahead of every major AI release and understanding its impact on the software factory model.

English C1/C2: Full professional fluency to negotiate with global partners and interpret the latest research papers and documentation.

Nice to have

Python/TypeScript Expertise

Strong coding skills to build quick PoCs (Proof of Concepts) or custom integrations.

Vector Databases & Observability: Experience with Pinecone, Weaviate, or Milvus, and monitoring AI performance with tools like LangSmith or Arize Phoenix.

Product Mindset

Experience in Product Management, specifically in defining GenUI (Generative User Interfaces) that adapt to user intent.

Leadership & Evangelism: Experience speaking at tech events or writing technical thought-leadership content to position the agency as an AI leader.
