AI Strategy Manager Jobs in San Jose, CA

Hungry, Humble, Honest, with Heart

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Senior Director of AI Strategy to define and lead the AI vision for the Worldwide Revenue Operations organization. This leader will own the end-to-end AI strategy and roadmap, driving transformational initiatives that improve how we operate internally and how our sales teams engage customers.

This role sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, and technology. You will lead a small, high-impact team to identify and scale AI-driven use cases across revenue workflows (e.g., order management, forecasting, deal operations) while also enabling a more intelligent, efficient, and data-driven sales experience through AI-powered insights and agents. You will partner closely with Sales, RevOps, IT, Data, Finance, and executive leadership to translate AI potential into measurable business outcomes.

About the Team

You will be joining the Revenue Operations team at Nutanix, a dynamic and global group focused on leveraging cutting-edge strategies and technologies to drive sales efficiency and effectiveness. Based remotely, this team embodies a culture that values being "Hungry, Humble, Honest, with Heart," always striving to do more with less while maintaining a bilingual approach to bridge the gap between technical engineering and sales enablement. The mission of this team is to enable sales representatives to maximize their productivity through innovative AI solutions and to enhance overall operational efficiency within the organization.

You will report to our Vice President of Worldwide Revenue Operations, Deal Solutions & Cloud Economists, who leads with a collaborative and accessible approach. This manager values open communication and encourages team empowerment, motivating the staff to take ownership of their projects and initiatives.

The role is entirely remote, allowing for flexible work arrangements without the requirement to go into the office. As this is a senior global leadership position, some standard executive travel should be anticipated. Regular travel may be necessary to engage with teams across the globe, attend critical meetings, and foster strong collaboration with various stakeholders within the organization.
