AI Operations Lead

Remote

We’re Changing the PropTech Industry

We’re a profitable, growth-stage company building industry-leading martech and data products for the PropTech space. Our focus is on our category-leading AI and data SaaS products with triple-digit growth rates.

We’re a fully remote team of 100+ spread across the U.S. from coast to coast. We operate on a strict no a**holes policy and are proud to have built a community of highly performant people that take our work seriously, but not ourselves. And, we're looking for exceptional people to help further accelerate our growth.

While we’ve raised $30MM+ to date from some of the world’s best investors, we’re profitable with a strong balance sheet and an indefinite runway. We pride ourselves on achieving rapid growth without having to incinerate capital.

About Our Products

ApartmentIQ is the all-in-one data platform powering smarter decisions across multifamily, covering 40M units with daily property and market intelligence used for surveys, research, and revenue management. We're trusted by 65% of the NMHC Top 50. Our sister company, MavenAI, delivers AI-powered marketing automation built by industry experts and integrated directly with property management systems, serving over 2M units.

The Role

We’re looking for an AI Operations Lead to accelerate our transition to a native AI business.

This is a hands-on applied AI role, not an AI research role. You’ll work across Product, Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, Operations, and Support to identify manual workflows, map messy business processes, build AI-powered automations and copilots, and drive adoption across the teams that use them every day.

You’ll be part product operator, part business operations problem-solver, part data analyst, and part AI-native builder. You should be comfortable moving from workflow discovery to prototype to rollout quickly, using tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, n8n, Zapier, Make, Retool, Notion, SQL, BI tools, APIs, and internal systems.

The goal is not just to increase AI usage. The goal is to help every team build the muscle for using AI instinctively, safely, and effectively to move faster, improve quality, and create more operating leverage.

We’re looking for someone with high agency, strong judgment, and a builder mindset, someone who can turn ambiguous operational problems into practical AI workflows that people actually use.

 

Responsibilities:

  • Deploy AI-powered automations, copilots, and agentic workflows across a focused set of non-engineering teams within your first 6–12 months

  • Partner with teams across Product, Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, Operations, and Support to deeply understand workflows, bottlenecks, edge cases, and success metrics

  • Map existing business processes and identify opportunities where AI can reduce manual work, improve quality, accelerate decision-making, or create better customer experiences

  • Build workflows using tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, n8n, Zapier, Make, Retool, Notion, SQL, BI tools, APIs, and internal data sources

  • Orchestrate integrations between AI tools and core business systems such as CRM, support platforms, marketing automation tools, product analytics, databases, and internal reporting systems

  • Measure impact through dashboards, QA checks, usage metrics, time savings, accuracy, adoption, and stakeholder feedback

  • Iteratively improve deployed workflows based on user behavior, qualitative feedback, and performance data

  • Enable team members to use AI effectively in their daily work through training, documentation, templates, office hours, and hands-on coaching

  • Identify and coach internal AI champions who can help scale adoption within their teams

  • Create reusable playbooks, prompts, templates, and workflow patterns that make AI adoption repeatable across the company

  • Work with Product and Engineering when AI workflows need deeper technical support, productization, or integration into customer-facing systems

  • Stay current on emerging AI tools, agentic workflow platforms, and automation patterns, and translate that knowledge into practical business impact

 

Qualifications:

  • 3–6 years of experience in product operations, business operations, revenue operations, strategy, technical program management, solutions, automation, data, or a similar role

  • Demonstrated experience using AI to build, ship, automate, or materially improve work in a prior role, project, or team

  • Strong fluency with modern AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or similar AI-native development environments

  • Technical comfort with low-code/no-code tools, workflow automation platforms, SQL, BI tools, APIs, scripting, or systems integrations

  • Strong operational empathy, with the ability to partner closely with business teams, understand their day-to-day work, and build solutions they actually adopt

  • Excellent communication skills, including the ability to write crisp documentation, lead engaging trainings, and persuade teams to change how they work

  • Analytical and data-driven approach to identifying, prioritizing, measuring, and improving AI-enabled workflows

  • High ownership, strong urgency, and comfort operating with autonomy in ambiguous environments

  • Strong product judgment, including knowing when to prototype, when to automate, when to involve Engineering, and when to kill an idea

  • Bias toward hands-on building over strategy-only work

  • Passion for AI, automation, operational excellence, and helping teams build durable leverage

 

Nice to Have:

  • Familiarity with workflows across operating teams such as Sales, Customer Success, Support, Marketing, Finance, RevOps, Product, or People

  • Experience with internal enablement, change management, or company-wide tool adoption programs

  • Experience in B2B SaaS, MarTech, PropTech, marketplaces, multifamily, or marketing automation

  • Experience with Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk, Intercom, Pylon, Segment, BigQuery, Snowflake, dbt, Retool, Zapier, Make, n8n, Gumloop, or similar systems

  • Experience designing human-in-the-loop workflows, QA processes, escalation paths, or operational guardrails

  • Experience with agentic workflows, prompt evaluation, RAG, LLM observability, or AI workflow monitoring

 

Not For You If:

  • You prefer strategy decks and recommendations over hands-on building and rollout

  • You want to do AI research or model development rather than applied AI workflow automation

  • You are most comfortable managing through others instead of personally building, testing, and iterating solutions

  • You are not excited to spend time with business teams understanding messy operational details

  • You are uncomfortable with ambiguity, rapid experimentation, and changing tools

  • You think success is “shipping an AI demo” rather than driving real adoption and measurable business impact

 

What Success Looks Like:

  • Within 90 days, you have mapped high-friction workflows across several teams and shipped multiple useful AI-powered prototypes

  • Within 6 months, you have deployed a portfolio of AI automations, copilots, or agentic workflows that are actively used by teams across the company

  • Within 12 months, AI-powered workflows are embedded into team norms, with clear adoption, quality, and impact metrics

  • Teams are saving meaningful time, improving consistency, and moving faster because of workflows you helped build

  • The business has a repeatable operating model for identifying, building, launching, and improving AI workflows across the company

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
