Vice President of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

NeoWork is a global staffing and outsourcing company redefining how remote work is done. We partner with clients worldwide to build distributed teams that are not just efficient but also human-centered. With teammates across the Philippines, Colombia, and the United States, we are growing fast and embedding AI at the core of everything we do.

This includes driving company-wide adoption, developing proprietary workflows, building internal AI capabilities, and transforming how we deliver value to clients. The role requires both strategic foresight and practical execution, someone equally comfortable in the boardroom and the sandbox.
