The Role:
The AI Operations Associate is Fuel Cycle's internal AI transformation role — accountable for making every company function AI-native, starting with Sales and Marketing. This role begins by owning the GTM operations stack (Salesforce, marketing automation, pipeline data) and the AI workflows that sit on top of it, then expands scope to Finance and the broader internal operations surface as coverage deepens.
This is not a Revenue Operations seat with AI bolted on, and it is not an IT or process-documentation role. It is the person accountable for replacing manual, human-routed workflows with instrumented AI pipelines — across every internal function — and for measuring the result. When a workflow can be replaced by an agent, you build the replacement. When it can't yet, you fix the data and the process until it can.
The initial focus is GTM (Sales and Marketing), with Finance as a close collaborative partner from day one. Over time, scope extends to HR, Legal, Customer Success, and other internal functions as the playbook matures.
Key Responsibilities:
GTM Operations (Initial Focus)
-
Own the operational tooling — Salesforce, marketing automation platforms, and connected data sources — including configuration, data hygiene, and integrations.
-
Design and ship AI-native workflows across the revenue lifecycle: lead scoring, opportunity enrichment, forecast rollups, marketing attribution, and pipeline health monitoring.
-
Build and maintain BI dashboards that give Sales and Marketing leaders real-time visibility into pipeline health, forecast accuracy, campaign performance, and funnel conversion.
-
Deploy AI agents into the daily workflows of Sales and Marketing leaders so they can query, act, and decide without waiting on manual pulls or analyst turnaround.
