At Advantive, we don’t just make software—we build careers and power the manufacturing and distribution backbone of the global economy. We are growing fast, investing in AI, and building a culture where motivated, curious people rise quickly.
Role Overview
The GTM AI Specialist is a builder role within Revenue Enablement. You will design and ship AI agents, automated workflows, and prompt architectures that replace manual work across Advantive’s commercial organization — spanning sales, CS, enablement, and RevOps. The primary output is working automations that drive real outcomes across the GTM team. This role reports to the Director of Revenue Enablement and works closely with RevOps and Business Systems.
This is not a back-office builder role. You will be embedded in the commercial organization — close to the reps, the tools, and the outcomes. Agent building is the craft, but operating as a full member of the Revenue Enablement team is the expectation. That means owning the day-to-day operational work of the function — tool administration, content governance, and team support — alongside the build mandate.
Responsibilities
AI Agent and Workflow Development
- Design and deploy AI agents and automated workflows across the full GTM tech stack including ChatGPT, Claude, Glyphic, and Letter.ai
- Build prompt architectures and agent chains that produce consistent, production-grade outputs at scale
- Identify and replace high-impact manual loops — pre-call brief assembly, coaching prep, content updates, win/loss routing, and more
- Build the connective layer across Glyphic, Letter.ai, Hyperbound, and Salesforce — turning discrete tools into an integrated system
- Connect agents to existing systems via native integrations and low-code automation platforms
- Iterate on deployed agents based on output quality and usage — agents that break get fixed, not abandoned
- Document what you build clearly enough that GTM teams can use it without hand-holding
Revenue Enablement Operations
As a full operator on the team, you will own a portion of the day-to-day work that keeps the Revenue Enablement function running. This is not peripheral to the role — it is part of it. Specific responsibilities will be scoped based on team needs, and will include tool administration, adoption tracking, and operational support across the commercial organization.
Why Advantive?
- Culture of Growth: We don’t hire to fill seats—we hire to develop talent. You’ll be supported like an athlete, coached like a leader, and challenged like a builder.
- Career Acceleration: Many of our best leaders started in frontline roles like this one. We believe in moving fast and promoting from within.
- Real Impact: You’re not a cog in the machine here. Your work helps real businesses that keep supply chains, manufacturing lines, and entire industries running.
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology may be used during the hiring process to record, transcribe, analyze, and rank interview responses. By submitting your application and participating in the interview process, you acknowledge and consent to the use of AI technology in the hiring process.
Interview Process:
We believe in identifying a strong fit between our company and our employees and supporting a culture of creative problem solving and innovation. To that extent, if selected for next steps, you will be invited to complete a series of assessments that focus on aptitude and personality prior to a recruiter interview. Everyone at the company from early career all the way to CEO has taken these assessments. The assessment email will be coming from a no-reply email address via our ATS (Hirebridge), so please be on the lookout!
Advantive is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to equal employment regardless of race, color, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression), national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or other class protected by applicable law. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to these characteristics. We are committed to providing reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities and to ensuring a fair and inclusive hiring process.
Warning! Advantive does not make job offers without conducting face-to-face (including virtual) interviews and will never ask you for money and/or personal information such as Social Security or bank information during the interview process.
Required
- Portfolio of shipped AI agent or automation work — agents you built, prompts you wrote, workflows you deployed that are actively being used
- Hands-on experience with ChatGPT, Claude, or a comparable LLM environment — you can write instructions that produce reliable, structured outputs
- Salesforce familiarity — you understand the data model well enough to pull from it and build on top of it
- Builder’s track record — you finish things, not just start them
- Clear written communication — your documentation is usable without explanation
Preferred
- Experience in a B2B SaaS environment with exposure to sales, CS, or GTM operations
- Experience connecting agents to external systems via API, webhooks, or native integrations
- Familiarity with low-code workflow automation platforms
- Exposure to enablement platforms such as Letter.ai, Highspot, or Seismic
- Interest in developing deeper technical skills over time, including light scripting or automation logic
While we offer workplace flexibility, this role currently requires onsite presence two days per week at our Tampa office to support team alignment and cross-functional collaboration. Please note that in-office requirements are subject to change.
All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.
Qualified applicants will be asked to complete a 30-minute online assessment as a part of your application.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as an AI Specialist
Align your degree field to the role
USCIS scrutinizes whether your degree directly relates to AI Specialist duties. A degree in computer science or machine learning aligns cleanly. A business or general STEM degree needs supporting coursework transcripts or a credential evaluation to survive an RFE.
Check the prevailing wage before negotiating
Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the DOL prevailing wage for your specific SOC code and work location. Use the OFLC Wage Search to verify the Level I through Level IV wage tiers before you accept an offer.
Target employers with cap-exempt affiliations
AI research roles at universities, nonprofit research institutions, and government-affiliated labs are cap-exempt, meaning your employer can file your H-1B petition outside the annual lottery window at any time of year.
Search LCA filing history on Migrate Mate
Before applying, verify that a company has actually filed H-1B Labor Condition Applications for AI roles. Migrate Mate surfaces DOL LCA filing history by employer and occupation code so you can confirm sponsorship history before reaching the offer stage.
Document your AI specialization precisely
USCIS O*NET classifies AI Specialist duties at Job Zone 4 and above. Your resume and the employer's support letter must map your specific tasks, such as training large language models or designing neural network architectures, to those defined specialty occupation duties.
File premium processing if your start date is fixed
If your employment start date is tied to a project deadline or OPT expiration, ask your employer to file premium processing with Form I-907. USCIS guarantees a decision within 15 business days, reducing the risk of a gap in work authorization.
H-1B Visa AI Specialist: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an AI Specialist role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes. USCIS classifies AI Specialist positions under computer occupations, which consistently meet the specialty occupation standard because the role normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, data science, artificial intelligence, or a closely related field. If your job description includes tasks like model development, algorithm design, or ML pipeline engineering, the specialty occupation requirement is typically straightforward to satisfy.
Which employers sponsor H-1B visas for AI Specialist roles?
Technology companies, financial institutions running quantitative or risk modeling teams, healthcare systems building clinical AI tools, and defense contractors with AI research divisions are among the most active H-1B sponsors for these roles. Migrate Mate filters employers by DOL Labor Condition Application filing history, so you can identify companies that have sponsored AI Specialist positions rather than relying on job postings alone.
What happens to my H-1B status if I change AI Specialist roles mid-petition?
If you change employers after your H-1B petition is filed but before October 1, your new employer must file a fresh cap-subject petition in the next lottery cycle unless you already have an approved H-1B from a prior year. If you're transferring to a new employer after your H-1B is already active, your new employer files an H-1B transfer petition and you can start work as soon as USCIS receives it, under the portability provisions of AC21.
Can a startup sponsor my H-1B as an AI Specialist?
Yes, but startups face additional scrutiny. USCIS may issue an RFE questioning whether the company has enough complexity to require a specialty occupation hire, or whether an employer-employee relationship exists if you have equity or a board seat. Your employer's support letter should clearly define your supervised role, your reporting structure, and the specific AI projects requiring your degree-level expertise.
How does the H-1B lottery affect AI Specialist job searches?
The annual H-1B cap covers most private-sector AI Specialist roles, with registrations submitted in March and selections made before April 1 for an October 1 start date. If you're not selected, cap-exempt options include roles at qualifying nonprofit research organizations, universities, or government research facilities. F-1 OPT or STEM OPT authorization can bridge the gap while you wait for the next lottery cycle.
