• Define guardrails for data handling, prompt security, model access, and agent permissions
• Mitigate risks related to prompt injection, data leakage, model misuse, and over-automation

4. Platform Enablement and Scale

• Build internal AI capabilities that scale across teams, not one-off solutions
• Create reusable templates, SDKs, connectors, and playbooks for AI adoption
• Partner with IT, Security, and Enterprise Apps to operationalize AI at scale

5. Productivity and Employee Experience

• Leverage Microsoft 365 Copilot and Claude to enhance employee workflows
• Identify high-impact productivity use cases across departments
• Deploy AI assistants that meaningfully reduce time to complete core tasks

6. Cross-functional Leadership

• Influence roadmap, standards, and adoption strategy across 6sense

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years in enterprise engineering, automation, or IT systems
• Hands-on experience building integrations and workflows using platforms like Workato or similar
• Experience with LLM-based systems including prompt design, agent orchestration, and tool usage
• Strong understanding of SaaS ecosystems and API-driven architectures
• Experience implementing security and compliance controls in cloud-native environments (AWS preferred)
• Ability to operate at both deep technical and strategic levels

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with MCP or similar model context and agent frameworks
• Experience with Microsoft 365 Copilot extensibility and Graph API
• Experience with Claude or other enterprise LLM platforms
• Exposure to AI governance frameworks and responsible AI practices
• Background in scaling internal platforms in a high-growth SaaS company

Core Competencies

• Intelligent orchestration of data across SaaS platforms for decision support

Reporting Structure

What Good Looks Like

• Builds reusable capabilities, not isolated solutions
• Balances speed with security and governance
