What are the responsibilities and job description for the AI Transformation Lead position at Digital Currency Systems?
Description
Digital Currency Systems is a leading technology provider in the alternative financial services space. Our customers use our platform and deep industry expertise to manage every aspect of running a modern financial services business. We are a purpose-built software solution that enables alternative financial service centers to manage transactions, maintain compliance, and run day-to-day operations from a single system — serving the tens of millions of unbanked and underbanked Americans who rely on these businesses every day.
The AI Transformation Lead is responsible for identifying, building, validating, and scaling AI-powered product solutions that drive real customer and business outcomes. This role is hands-on and AI-first. An AI Transformation Lead does not operate through documents, tickets, or handoffs. They build working solutions using AI, engage directly with customers, iterate rapidly based on real-world feedback, and embed with internal teams to automate workflows and deploy agents that eliminate manual work. The AI Transformation Lead does everything an AI Product Engineer does - plus owns customer discovery, validation, prioritization, measurable impact, and internal automation leadership.
This is not a backlog or roadmap-only role. This is not a handoff-based product manager. This is not a requirements writer detached from execution.
