About the role

The Opportunity

We are building an AI-first company.

As Executive Operations Manager (AI Ops) at Curacel, you will build and run the systems that drive execution across the company.

Your mandate is simple:
increase speed, clarity, and output across the company using systems, automation, and AI.

You will work directly with the CEO to remove friction, compress cycle times, and turn strategy into consistent outcomes.

You will also own the company’s AI layer by designing and operating the agents, workflows, and internal tools that power how teams work.

This is a builder operator role, not a coordination role.

What You Will Own

  • The company operating system including planning cadence, dashboards, decision tracking, and execution rhythm
  • AI systems across the company including agents, workflows, and internal tools used daily by teams
  • Cross functional execution that impacts revenue, efficiency, and customer experience
  • Execution quality across teams including speed, clarity, and follow through

What You Will Do

  • Redesign core workflows across teams for speed and reliability, then automate them
  • Build and deploy AI agents and workflows that eliminate manual work
  • Own the lifecycle of AI systems from deployment to monitoring to continuous improvement
  • Drive adoption of AI tools across teams and ensure they are actively used
  • Track performance, usage, and cost of AI systems and continuously optimize
  • Run execution cadences and keep priorities moving week to week
  • Lead cross functional sprints to unblock growth, margins, and customer outcomes

What Success Looks Like in 6 Months

  • 30 to 50 percent reduction in cycle time across key workflows
  • Multiple AI systems in daily use across teams
  • Strong adoption with clear impact on productivity
  • Faster decision making and tighter execution across the company
  • Clear visibility into performance, priorities, and blockers

You Will Be a Fit If You

  • Think from first principles and question how things work
  • Are highly driven, low ego, and biased toward action
  • Have experience in operations, program management, or similar roles in fast paced environments
  • Have built systems or automations that improved how teams work
  • Are comfortable working with AI tools and experimenting quickly
  • Use data to make decisions and improve performance
  • Communicate clearly and drive alignment across teams

Nice to Have

  • Experience in financial services, health, or regulated environments
  • Ability to write simple scripts or work with APIs

How We Work

This is a high intensity environment.

We value:

  • Passionate Work: Set ambitious goals and exceed expectations
  • Relentless Growth: Stay curious and adapt quickly
  • Empowered Action: Take ownership and communicate clearly
  • Sense of Urgency: Move fast and focus on high-impact work
  • Seeing Possibilities: Stay optimistic and solution-oriented

Final Note

This role is not about supporting operations, it is about building and running the AI-powered execution engine of the company.
