Outcome Lead for the AI Pod

Vacancy details EuropeEurope RemoteRemote Recruiter Oleksandra Lapko o.lapko@svitla.com **Role overview** ----------------- Svitla Systems Inc. is looking for an **Outcome Lead for the AI Pod** for a full-time position (40 hours per week) in LATAM. Svitla’s Forward Deployed AI Engineering Pod is a small, senior team that works inside the client’s environment and takes AI workflows into production one at a time, measuring the business result of each. The Outcome Lead owns the business outcome of the Pod.
