Mathematica is rapidly advancing its use of AI to support our mission—and we’re not just beginning, we’re accelerating. We’re looking for a hands-on leader to serve as our AI Lead, responsible for driving adoption across all administrative functions and helping shape enterprise-wide AI policy, governance, and coordination.

This role is ideal for a leader-doer: someone who can both set the vision and roll up their sleeves to implement solutions. The focus isn’t just on launching AI initiatives, but on optimizing them: identifying best practices, promoting adoption, ensuring consistency, and delivering measurable value across the organization.

While the primary focus is on administrative and operational areas, this role will collaborate closely with business unit leaders applying AI in research, data analytics, and policy. Together, they’ll ensure AI is used in ways that are innovative, ethical, and aligned with Mathematica’s mission.

Success in this role requires strong leadership across both corporate departments and business lines.
