AI & Automation Specialist

Role The AI & Automation Specialist is the technical executor behind ACQ Vantage’s AI infrastructure. This is a hands-on role responsible for building, deploying, and maintaining AI systems and automation workflows that power the product, operations, and member experience. You will work directly under the AI & Automation Lead, turning strategy and system designs into production-ready tools. This role is focused on execution. You are building systems used in production, not experimenting in isolation. You will write clean code, integrate systems, deploy workflows, and ensure everything runs reliably at scale. You will own end-to-end system execution — from AI tools and backend workflows to automation across operations, sales, and data systems. You will integrate across CRMs, APIs, and platforms, build scalable infrastructure, and maintain clean, reliable data flow. You will also act as the bridge between Vantage and the Acquisition.com HoldCo tech team, ensuring everything meets production-grade standards. This role directly drives leverage across the business — more members served, higher quality experience, lower operational cost, and faster growth. You are not a support role. You are the technical engine that makes the AI vision real.
