Description

The Head of AI Enablement & Productivity is a cross-functional, execution-focused leader responsible for driving AI adoption across every department in the company. You will not build our product. You will transform how we operate. Your mandate: identify the highest-leverage automation and AI opportunities across all functions, implement them end-to-end, and measurably increase output per employee. This is not an advisory role. You will be embedded in every team, hands-on with tools, workflows, and people. You will report directly to the CEO with full executive sponsorship and air cover to drive change. Core Mandate Scale company output 3-5x without proportional headcount growth Achieve measurable productivity gains across all departments within 6 months Build the internal AI capability and muscle that makes Lucidya a reference case for AI-native operations Key Responsibilities 1.

Governance & Standards Establish company-wide AI usage policies (data security, IP, compliance) Maintain a centralized registry of all AI tools and automations in use Ensure alignment with Saudi data regulations and enterprise security standards What This Role Is NOT This is NOT a product or engineering role. You do not build Lucidya's AI product. This is NOT a strategy-only role. You must execute, not just advise. This is NOT a siloed IT function. You work across every department, embedded in teams.
