Job details

AI Operations Lead

Descript is an AI-first audio and video editing company (~150 employees) building intuitive editing tools powered by modern AI. The AI Operations Lead will redesign how work is structured and executed across the company by embedding agentic workflows, low-code automations, and best-practice change management to accelerate cycle time, improve output quality, and scale AI-driven operations.

Skills

  • Experience with LLMs and chatbots
  • Familiarity with agent frameworks and vibecoding stacks
  • Experience with vector databases and retrieval pipelines
  • Practical use of workflow orchestrators (n8n or similar)
  • Prompt engineering and low-code automation skills
  • Strong analytical and product sense
  • Cross-functional stakeholder management and change management
  • Ability to measure impact and build playbooks

Responsibilities

  • Perform operational diagnostics across functions to map workflows, latency, and resource spend; define an AI-enabled roadmap.
  • Prototype, deploy, and iterate agentic workflows (e.g., agent-led content generation, n8n orchestrations, FP&A scenario modeling).
  • Design organizational structure, role mix, and tooling required to maximize velocity and clarity.
  • Evangelize AI adoption internally: run workshops, build reusable playbooks, and serve as an internal thought leader.
  • Lead high-leverage CEO-facing strategic projects requiring analytics and cross-functional orchestration.
  • Measure and drive success metrics (cycle-time reduction, ARR per employee, agent coverage and quality).
  • Act as a hands-on builder — writing prompts, configuring vector DBs, and implementing low-code automations.

Education

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in a relevant field (CS, engineering, business, or related)
  • 2+ years in strategy consulting, operations, product management, or biz-ops within high-growth SaaS

Benefits

  • Competitive cash compensation and equity
  • Comprehensive health benefits
  • 401(k)
  • Generous PTO and flexible vacation policy
  • Catered lunches at headquarters
  • Hybrid work (expected 2–3 days/week in office)
  • Opportunity to build a small Automation & Ops pod
