What is the Position?

PartsBadger is seeking a Director of AI Transformation to lead the strategy and execution of artificial intelligence adoption across our entire organization. This is not a theoretical role — you will be in the trenches with every department, understanding how they work, identifying where AI creates real value, and driving implementation from concept to live deployment.


You will serve as the bridge between our business operations and our software development team, ensuring that the tools we build and adopt actually solve the problems our people face every day. This position reports to the VP of IT.


If you are energized by change, thrive at the intersection of technology and operations, and know how to bring skeptical people along on a journey — this role was built for you.

Our 15,000 sq. ft. facility blends office and production space. We offer fully stocked snack/beverage rooms, free daily lunches, and a 5-hole disc golf course. We continue to develop our space for idea generation and collaborative work.

  • Lead evaluation, selection, and deployment of AI tools and platforms across the business
  • Act as the product lead on behalf of departments to shepherd deployments.

Management

  • Translate departmental needs into actionable technical requirements
  • Define requirements, set priorities, and ensure solutions are built or integrated to spec
  • Oversee testing, rollout, and iteration of AI-powered tools and workflows
  • Develop documentation, training, and support materials for each deployment
  • Manage change across the organization, driving buy-in at every level
  • Report AI program status, wins, and risks directly to VP of IT and executive leadership

Strategic

  • Help develop and own the company-wide AI adoption roadmap, aligned with PartsBadger's growth goals


Required Qualifications
  • 5+ years of experience in deploying technology within departments.
  • Demonstrated experience deploying AI or automation solutions in a business environment

  • Proven track record of cross-functional collaboration and influencing without direct authority
  • Strong understanding of business functions including, HR, finance, sales, supply chain, production, shipping, etc.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Strong project management skills — able to manage multiple initiatives simultaneously
  • Adaptable, fast-moving, and comfortable with ambiguity
  • Independent problem solver with a bias toward action
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in a manufacturing or industrial operations environment
  • Familiarity with ERP, CRM, CAM, or MES systems
