AI Evangelist (USA)

New York (Hybrid | 3 days in-office)
$140k–$160k base + bonus + equity

This isn’t customer success. This is behavior change at scale.

AI is everywhere right now.
Adoption isn’t.

Most companies stop at implementation.
This team is focused on what actually matters: getting people to use it, trust it, and change how they work.

They’ve built a powerful AI platform for financial institutions — already live with major customers across the US and UK — and now they need someone to make it stick.

That’s where you come in.

Why this role matters

  • You’re not supporting accounts — you’re driving transformation inside them

  • You’re not reacting to tickets — you’re shaping how entire teams work

  • You’re not following a playbook — you’re building it

With a Series A coming in June and plans to triple headcount, this role sits right at the center of growth.

What you build here becomes the standard as the company scales.

What you’ll be doing

Turn signed deals into real impact
Take customers from “this looks interesting” to fully embedded in production.

Drive adoption (the hard part)
Coach teams, shift behaviors, and help people move from doing the work to reviewing the AI.

Create internal champions
Identify power users, train them, and build momentum from within.

Prove value, not just usage
Show measurable outcomes — hours saved, capacity unlocked, better decisions made.

Feed what you learn back into the product
You’ll be the voice of the customer internally, shaping what gets built next.

What you bring

  • Experience in customer success, transformation, or implementation in complex environments

  • Ability to influence stakeholders at every level — from analysts to execs

  • Strong curiosity and hands-on experience with AI tools (you actually use them)

  • A structured mindset — you can manage projects, but also drive change

  • Bonus: exposure to financial services, but not essential

Most importantly:
You care about outcomes, not just activity.

What you get

  • $140k–$160k base + bonus

  • 0.2–0.6% equity — real ownership

  • A front-row seat to a Series A and rapid scale-up

  • The chance to become a foundational leader in a new function

  • Full health benefits + 401(k)

  • Top-tier equipment

  • Annual company offsite

The bigger picture

The financial industry is full of talented people stuck doing repetitive work.

This platform removes that friction — but only if people actually adopt it.

That’s the mission here:
make AI real, practical, and embedded in how teams operate every day.
