Company mission
To take complex, cutting-edge technology and turn it into intuitive, easy-to-use solutions that empower local media buyers.
Role
Who you are
- Technical Craft: 8-12 years of experience blending hands-on building with driving tool adoption. You are technical enough to prototype workflows and wire up agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor)
- Change Leadership: A proven track record of driving adoption of new ways of working across diverse teams with documented evidence of impact
- Collaboration: Low-ego and highly collaborative; able to sit with function leaders to translate real business needs into load-bearing solutions
- Mindset: Grit in ambiguity and a rigorous approach to measurement. You frame work as elevation and capacity building, never headcount reduction
- Production Judgment: You ship to a reliability, latency, and observability bar appropriate for daily business use, and operate with high agency under ambiguity — scoping work, sequencing delivery, and removing blockers independently
What the job involves
- Madhive is seeking an AI Enablement Director to drive internal transformation by weaving AI into the fabric of how our teams work. This is a builder-operator role designed to lift the work our people do by shifting focus from manual drudgery to high-leverage strategic output
- You will listen to functional needs, build load-bearing V1 automations, and partner with leaders to drive lasting adoption and measurable productivity gains across teams
- Design and ship AI-enabled workflows and cross-cutting tools for technical and non-technical teams
- Establish fluency standards and practical benchmarks for AI usage, productivity, and organizational impact
- Lead employee AI training and adoption programs in close partnership with the People and L&D teams
- Develop a portfolio of internal load-bearing applications and AI integrations, transitioning successful solutions to functional owners for long-term operations
- Serve as a change agent, leading adoption by visibly using tools and winning over stakeholders through measurable gains
- Run discovery with functional leaders and define measurable success criteria for each workflow before building
- Integrate automations with the systems teams already work in — CRM, ticketing, and workflow tools such as Salesforce, Jira, or equivalents — resolving data-readiness and permissions blockers so solutions are production-ready, not experimental
- Drive adoption in: build trust, reduce friction, and ensure shipped solutions are actively used, with human review queues and audit trails where outputs need oversight
- How We Measure Success:
- Workflow Multiplier (North Star): Measurable increase in workload-per-person on targeted workflows. The goal is to automate entire workflows so a team handles materially more volume — deals, tickets, analyses, reports — without added headcount, not to shave minutes off discrete tasks
- Efficiency Gains: Tangible reduction in time-to-produce and manual people-hours per outcome across teams
- Employee Morale: Qualitative and quantitative shifts in sentiment as employees move out of drudgery into more strategic, energizing work
Our take
The rise in streaming content has revolutionized digital advertising, offering advertisers the potential for more precise campaign calibration. However, alongside this opportunity come new challenges such as consumer overload, ad fraud and data privacy concerns, compounded by the need to integrate with traditional linear television. Navigating these complexities requires a comprehensive solution, and that's where MadHive steps in.
Utilizing AI technology, MadHive's video ad software suite tackles these challenges head-on. It intelligently identifies optimal ad placements, manages ad frequency to prevent saturation, and gauges consumer intent across various platforms including web, mobile and TV. This capability allows advertisers to execute nationwide campaigns with pinpoint local targeting - a remarkable achievement in the dynamic digital content landscape.
Unsurprisingly, MadHive boasts an impressive client roster, boasting a 95% renewal rate with major names like Fox, McAfee and Tegna Premion. This consistent satisfaction has propelled MadHive to expand its offering into critical areas such as data privacy. It also launched the industry's first agentic suite for local media, that supports users to build smarter campaigns faster, and hence accelerate their revenue.
