About the Role:
The Company is seeking a Head of AI to lead its AI function and improve the accuracy and reliability of its document intelligence capabilities. The role includes assessing the existing product and machine-learning stack, growing a multidisciplinary team, and remaining hands-on with architecture and model development. The successful candidate will shape the AI roadmap with senior leadership, balance frontier language models with in-house models and infrastructure, and advise on new AI capabilities for clients. Candidates should have 8–12 or more years of industry experience, including 3–5 years leading machine-learning, AI, or data science teams. Deep expertise in natural language processing and document intelligence is required, including parsing, classification, entity extraction, OCR, layout understanding, and document-to-structured-data transformation. Strong Python model-development skills with PyTorch, Hugging Face, and scikit-learn are expected, along with experience taking machine-learning products from concept to production in a SaaS environment. Candidates should also have production deployment experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and Azure, and ownership of the full machine-learning lifecycle; an advanced degree in a relevant field is an advantage.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
