It will anticipate, adapt, and scale a distributed mind designed to transform information into business value and technology into leverage for human evolution and flourishing.WHAT YOU'LL DOWe are seeking a Head of AI & Product to serve as the execution engine behind how we build, scale, and operate in the AI era.This is a builder-first, high-ownership role.You will work directly with the Founder and senior leadership team to turn ideas into real systems, products, and businesses rapidly and repeatedly. You will operate at the intersection of product, engineering, and AI, using modern tools to collapse timelines and unlock new capabilities across the platform.Your mandate is to: • Convert high-level ideas into working products in days and weeks, not months • Design and deploy AI-powered systems that directly impact revenue, operations, and decision-making • Identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and broken workflows across the organization, and rapidly design and implement solutions that improve speed, accuracy, and leverage • Build internal platforms and external products that scale across multiple companies and industries • Replace manual workflows with intelligent systems that increase execution speed and reduce dependency on headcount • Act as the technical and product counterpart to the Founder — translating vision into execution without frictionYou will operate across a diverse portfolio including consumer products, real estate, hospitality, and new venture creation, building systems that are used in real environments, by real teams, at scale. Your Mission • Portfolio Systems Vision & Integration • Design and implement a unified intelligence layer across the portfolio that connects data, systems, and workflows into a single, real-time operating backbone. Enable standardized metrics, AI-driven insights, and cross-company leverage to improve decision-making, efficiency, and performance at scale. • 0→1 Product Build • Rapidly prototype and ship products using AI-assisted development, writing production-level code across backend, APIs, and front-end/mobile layers. Own system design, data models, and deployment from initial concept through live production and iteration. • AI-Native Development • Use tools like Claude, Cursor, and modern APIs as core development infrastructure. Structure prompts, generate code, review outputs, debug issues, and refine implementations — treating AI as a junior engineer that you direct and validate. • System Architecture • Design and implement scalable, modular systems across backend services, APIs, databases, and client applications. Make pragmatic decisions around frameworks, infrastructure, and data flow to balance speed, reliability, and long-term flexibility. • Team leadership • Build and lead small, high-output engineering teams — setting technical direction, establishing development standards, and driving execution cadence. Recruit, mentor, and lead while maintaining hands-on contribution. Create a culture of speed, accountability, and continuous iteration, ensuring the team can consistently take products from concept to scalable, production-ready systems. • New Business Start Up / Venture Studio: • Lead rapid concept-to-launch execution of new ventures, turning ideas into validated, revenue-generating products through fast iteration and AI-assisted development. Build a repeatable system for prototyping, testing, and scaling multiple products in parallel with disciplined speed.WHO YOU ARE • AI-Native Operator: You use AI as a core part of how you build —
