About Us
We are one of Europe’s fastest-growing technology groups, operating a portfolio of B2B software tools used by thousands of companies globally. Our ambition is to become the leading software group in Europe - and AI is a key pillar of that strategy.
We’re investing in AI to accelerate automation, increase efficiency, and modernize operations across Ops, Finance, Development, Product, Customer Experience, and more.
Role Overview
We’re hiring a Director of AI Enablement and Implementation to lead the company-wide adoption and integration of AI-powered tools. This is not a research or AI modeling role. It’s about taking an already AI-friendly organization to the next level: identifying high-impact use cases, deploying the right tools, embedding them into functional workflows, and ensuring strong adoption with measurable ROI.
You will be a cross-functional change agent, ensuring that every team is leveraging AI to work smarter, reduce manual work, and free up time for higher-value activities. You’ll be the driving force behind our AI-first strategy, embedding AI across the company as a core enabler of speed, scale, and efficiency.

- Define and lead the AI enablement roadmap across all departments
- Translate business needs into concrete, AI-powered solutions using tools like OpenAI, Writer, Jasper, Glean, LangChain, Zapier, etc.
- Collaborate with Engineering, Product, and Operations to integrate tools via APIs, webhooks, or low-code platforms
- Build quick proof-of-concepts and pilots to validate use cases
- Own onboarding, enablement, and internal training to drive AI adoption
- Track and report on usage, adoption metrics, and business impact
- Ensure every function is using the best-fit tools for their specific workflows
- Manage vendor selection, pricing negotiations, and procurement
- Shape the operational rollout of Shop Circle’s AI-first vision
- Help implement and scale intelligent agents (e.g., autonomous financial assistants, workflow bots) across our software portfolio
What We’re Looking For
- 8–15 years in solution engineering, internal tools, technical consulting, or AI/automation delivery
- Proven success in rolling out tools across departments in fast-paced environments
- Strong business acumen and the ability to tie automation to real-world outcomes
- Technically fluent, hands-on, and pragmatic
- Excellent communicator with both technical and non-technical teams
- Fluent in English and based in Italy
- Background in consulting, system integration, or internal innovation teams is a plus
Bonus Experience (Tools & Platforms)
- Writing & Content: Jasper, Writer, Copy.ai
