The position
At Remote, the Director of IT & AI Automation leads our IT Engineering team to enable Remoters to do their best work through innovative automation and AI solutions. We focus on automating processes across all teams and implementing cutting-edge AI tools to enhance productivity.
This management role requires strategic vision to guide our IT architecture with scalability in mind, while maintaining our core principle: "Be invisible when you can be and unmissable when you should be."
You'll empower your team, provide strategic direction, and work cross-functionally with teams throughout Remote to advance our mission of making employment truly borderless.
What you'll do
- Define and lead Remote’s IT strategy, including AI and automation adoption, scalable infrastructure, and the employee experience roadmap.
- Drive technical innovation by deploying generative AI tools (e.g. Claude for Work, ChatGPT Enterprise, Google Gemini) to streamline workflows, reduce friction, and elevate productivity.
- Design automation-first solutions, using APIs, custom integrations, and low/no-code platforms to reduce manual overhead and boost efficiency across teams.
- Be a hands-on leader, solving complex technical challenges while mentoring engineers by example—not just direction.
- Establish best practices and guardrails for the safe and ethical use of AI tools at scale.
- Own foundational IT architecture decisions, focusing on modern device management, identity access, and zero-trust security for a globally distributed workforce.
- Partner cross-functionally to anticipate IT needs, unlock strategic leverage, and champion solutions before problems arise.
- Build and nurture a high-performing, remote-first IT team grounded in curiosity, experimentation, documentation, and service excellence.
- Shape the evolution of IT Engineering at Remote, complex conventional perceptions of IT and pioneering innovative approaches to support a fully distributed workforce.
Requirements
- A strategic and technical leader with deep experience in cloud infrastructure, SaaS ecosystems, and global device/identity management.
- A builder—comfortable rolling up your sleeves to create automations, systems, and integrations that scale.
- Experienced in generative AI and automation platforms—understanding their capabilities, limitations, and responsible usage.
- A collaborative partner who communicates clearly and works well across all departments.
- Skilled at managing ambiguity and change, with the ability to set clear priorities in fast-moving environments.
- Known for your high agency—you anticipate problems, identify opportunities, and take ownership.
- A mentor and continuous learner, committed to growing both your team and your own expertise.
- A strong communicator with excellent written and verbal English skills.
- Bonus: Prior experience in a remote-first environment is highly valued.
Practicals
