ButterflyMX is seeking a Director of AI Strategy & Transformation to lead the company's evolution into an AI-enabled organization. The role is responsible for defining, executing, and continuously refining AI strategy to deliver meaningful business value across the organization. This is a hybrid strategic and hands-on position. You will define and own the company's AI transformation strategy, ensuring alignment with business goals and long-term vision. You will develop and maintain an AI transformation roadmap, balancing near-term wins with longer-term strategic investments. Partner with executive leadership to translate business priorities into AI-enabled opportunities. Key responsibilities include managing headcount planning and hiring strategy for AI teams, establishing processes for AI project intake, prioritization, and resource allocation, and identifying high-impact AI use cases across the business. You will build and manage AI-related budgets, including tooling, vendors, experimentation, and enablement initiatives, ensuring decisions are driven by data with clear KPIs. You will act as a visible AI champion across the organization, translating complex AI concepts into clear, practical language for non-technical audiences. Foster excitement while maintaining credibility and realism. Continuously experiment with emerging AI tools, platforms, and workflows, and share learnings quickly with teams. Ensure AI adoption is secure, compliant, and responsible by establishing governing policies and defining guardrails that enable innovation. You will not be expected to build models or write production code, but must deeply understand what modern AI can and cannot do, how it fits into real workflows, and how to enable teams to capture value safely and efficiently. Required: proven track record leading cross-functional initiatives and driving organizational change, deep understanding of AI technologies and limitations, experience managing organizational budgets, strong stakeholder management and executive influence skills, experience establishing governance frameworks, ability to translate technical concepts for diverse audiences, and deep curiosity with hands-on mindset toward emerging technology. Background in strategy, operations, technology leadership, or consulting is preferred.
