The role / impact
This is a rare chance to shape how an entire technology organization works in the AI era. Rather than shipping another standalone AI feature, you'll build the shared platforms and operating models that make AI-native delivery possible across Xero, spanning AI harnesses that help teams build faster with the right guard rails, gateways that makes using models safe and efficient, and agents that help reduce toil.
You'll drive initiatives spanning across the full delivery lifecycle, combining strategy, execution and measurable organizational impact. You'll drive decision-making across products and teams, connect work happening in different phases of development, and train and coach others to build strong AI product practice. In line with our value to Go Bold, you'll set goals that stretch the team and help rethink, and not just solve, the problems in front of you.
The team / how they connect
This group shapes how products connect to Xero's wider AI strategy and objectives, and looks after the tools and ways of working that help thousands of Xeros deliver value. You'll build close relationships with Engineering, Security, Data and several other teams, keeping decisions joined up across the business.
