AI Relational

About the Role

We are seeking an AI Lead to drive innovation and thought leadership around artificial intelligence across Total Perform. You'll combine deep technical expertise in Claude, ChatGPT, and other LLM platforms with the ability to evangelize AI capabilities internally and externally. You'll shape how we build AI-first solutions for customers, establish best practices for AI integration, and become a recognized voice in the AI community—speaking at conferences, publishing technical content, and demonstrating real-world AI applications that drive measurable business value.

This is a hybrid role: technologist, strategist, and evangelist. You'll build AI solutions while also positioning Total Perform as a leader in AI-powered consulting and software delivery.

Technical Leadership & AI Strategy

• Design and implement AI/LLM-powered solutions using Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, and emerging AI platforms
• Establish best practices, architectural patterns, and frameworks for AI integration across projects
• Evaluate emerging AI tools and platforms, separating real value from hype through hands-on experimentation
• Mentor engineers and teams on prompt engineering, AI-assisted development, and agentic workflows
• Build proof-of-concepts and pilot projects that demonstrate AI capabilities to customers and internal teams
• Collaborate with delivery, consulting, and engineering leaders to identify AI opportunities in client engagements

External Evangelism & Thought Leadership

• Be the external face of Total Perform's AI expertise: speak at conferences, webinars, and industry events
• Publish technical articles, case studies, and thought leadership content on AI applications and business impact
• Engage with the broader tech community: contribute to open-source projects, participate in AI forums and communities
• Present real-world examples of AI-driven solutions and their business outcomes to potential customers
• Build relationships with media, analysts, and industry influencers in the AI space
• Represent Total Perform at industry events and thought leadership forums

Internal Advocacy & Knowledge Sharing

• Share AI insights and best practices across the organization through training sessions, demos, and documentation
• Work with sales and marketing to develop AI-focused messaging and customer narratives
• Identify and communicate AI-driven competitive advantages and business opportunities
