About the Role
Most companies are still talking about AI. We want someone who will put it to work.
As Director, Business Systems & AI Enablement, you'll lead how Partnerize uses technology to run a smarter, faster business. You'll own Salesforce and Asana, the core platforms our teams use every day, along with the integrations that connect them to other business systems such as NetSuite, HubSpot and DocuSign. You'll also bring enterprise AI tools like Google Gemini Enterprise into how we work, so our teams spend less time on manual work and more time on customers and growth.
You'll be a player-coach. You'll lead and develop a small team of two while rolling up your sleeves yourself. One week you might be redesigning a Salesforce sales workflow. The next, you might be building a Gemini agent that removes hours of admin from the Sales team, or presenting ROI results to the executive team.
What you'll own:

•
Business systems: the roadmap, intake, delivery and vendor relationships for Salesforce, Asana and the integrations that connect them across the business.

•
Process optimization: finding friction, redesigning workflows and making sure data stays clean as we scale.

•
AI enablement: rolling out enterprise AI, designing functional agents, driving adoption and measuring the results.

You won't be doing this alone. You'll be part of a leadership group shaping how Partnerize moves into a human-AI enabled future, with one shared goal: a workplace where people and AI do their best work together. Our Director, Product brings the vision for AI in the Partnerize platform. Our Director, Business Performance Optimization brings the framework we use to evaluate new AI opportunities and helps guide proofs of concept. Our People Success team makes sure our people grow alongside the technology. You bring it all to life across the business: working with teams to find where AI can make the biggest difference, then turning big ideas into real change in how we work every day.This role has high visibility and real autonomy. You'll have a direct line to measurable business impact.
