Job Description

South Pole is an energetic, global company offering comprehensive sustainability solutions and services. With offices spanning all continents across the globe, we strive to create a sustainable society and economy that positively impacts our climate, ecosystems and developing communities. With our solutions, we inspire and enable our customers to create value from sustainability-related activities.

We’re looking for a technical enterprise operator who can improve how work gets done and translate that into measurable business results.

This person will lead two initiatives:

1. AI transformation of key workflows
   Identify high-value internal workflows, understand how the work actually gets done, redesign what is broken, and embed AI where it improves speed, quality, and cost.
   
   

2. AI capability diffusion across the business
   Help teams build with AI in their day-to-day work through training, practical guidance, shared patterns, and responsible-use guardrails.

What this role is accountable for:

• Prioritize workflows based on business value, feasibility, and adoption potential

• Work with business stakeholders to map priority workflows end-to-end, diagnose where performance breaks down, identify what needs to improve, and determine where AI can add value

• Make build, buy, or partner decisions based on strong knowledge of the AI tool landscape

• Lead the development and deployment of solutions into real workflows and systems

• Define baselines, targets, and metrics tied to business outcomes

• Build internal capability so teams can work with AI effectively and responsibly through hackathons, training, and practical guidance.

Ideal profile

• A technical enterprise operator who can translate AI capability into measurable business results

• Combines strategic thinking with strong program leadership and execution

• Experienced in redesigning end-to-end workflows and embedding AI

• Strong judgment on where AI can improve workflow performance and business outcomes

• Fluent in the current AI tooling landscape and able to guide build vs buy decisions

• Understands enterprise architecture and application stacks well enough to design and deploy workflow solutions

• Track record of deploying production solutions in enterprise environments

• Strong understanding of tooling, integration, governance, and adoption

• Can teach, influence, and build capability across teams

• Communicates clearly with senior leadership and works effectively across functions

What success looks like

• Key workflows are redesigned and measurably better (improvements in speed, quality, margin)

• AI is embedded where it improves business performance

• Teams across functions are increasingly able to build with AI directly in their own work

• Clear adoption, governance, and impact metrics are in place
