About the role

  • As our first AI & Automation Deployment Lead, you’ll be key to driving how we use AI and automations internally at Zinc.
  • Lead the charge in embedding automation, copilots, and AI-enabled processes across Ops, Legal, People, GTM, and Finance.
  • Partner with leaders across the business, and with our Tech and InfoSec teams, to deliver AI tools that are compliant, usable, and deliver real measurable value.
  • Hands-on: both as a builder and as an enabler, helping teams adopt new ways of working and improving existing tools.
  • Design, test, and deploy AI-powered tools (agents, copilots, workflow automations) that improve efficiency and quality.
  • Diagnose workflows across functions to identify high-impact opportunities for AI/automation.
  • Take ownership of InfoSec and compliance requirements for any AI tools or agents adopted.
  • Collaborate with the Tech team to integrate, extend, or build bespoke AI/automation where off-the-shelf solutions don’t cut it.
  • Lead uptake across teams: training, documentation, evangelism, and helping people become fluent with AI tooling.
  • Define, track, and report on KPIs related to adoption, time saved, error reduction, and business impact.

Requirements

  • ~4+ years in roles centred on AI, automation, operations, or strategy — especially where you identified problems, built solutions, and delivered measurable outcomes.
  • Direct experience implementing LLM-based solutions or AI/automation tools across multiple business functions.
  • Strong familiarity with tools like Notion AI, Zapier, Copilot, HR/Legal AI platforms, automations (or equivalents).
  • Strong analytical and metrics mindset: able to define what success looks like and measure it.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management: you’ll often be working with non-technical stakeholders in Legal, Finance, People, etc.
  • Proven ownership, self-drive, ability to work independently and get things done.
  • Desirable: Programming or prototyping ability (Python, R, scripting) to help with proof-of-concepts.
  • Desirable: Experience in prompt engineering or fine-tuning LLMs.
  • Desirable: Experience with BI or analytics tools (SQL, dashboards) to build visibility into workflows.
  • Desirable: Prior experience at a high-growth startup or scaleup with rapid adoption of new tools/processes.
