Who We Are

Workhelix is an enterprise SaaS company with a single goal: helping organizations get the most out of their AI investments.

Our people and software combine to give leaders answers to the three critical questions about the business value of AI:

• Where are our top opportunities to create value with AI?
• Are our current efforts actually delivering? What’s their ROI?
• How can we accelerate and increase the benefits of our AI?

To find answers for each customer, Workhelix applies our unmatched expertise in economics, AI, and data science. We have pioneered a task-scoring method to identify top GenAI opportunities, ensuring clear, data-driven deployment strategies. Our ROI monitoring suite applies Nobel Prize-winning economics to provide accurate, ongoing insights into the impact of GenAI implementations. Renowned AI and Economics thinkers including Andrew Ng, and cofounders Andy McAfee and Erik Brynjolfsson stand proudly behind our mission.

We maintain a culture established on five key principles. For more information on our leadership principles, please visit the careers page of our website.

Role

This is a highly hands-on role for someone who has worked closely with a founder or senior executive and knows how to bring structure, accountability, and operational discipline to a fast-growing business.

Reporting directly to our CEO, you'll be the CEO's right hand and primary thought partner, with full access to our decision-making and internal thinking.

In short, you'll extend the CEO's reach, turning strategy into plans, plans into accountable owners, and owners into results, with administrative support continuing to sit with the CEO's Executive Assistant.

The work spans executive alignment, strategic project leadership, and confidential communications. You'll work closely with our leadership team and customers and, in some cases, our investors.

You're a problem solver and self-organizer who thrives in ambiguity. You want ambitious goals and the freedom to figure out how to reach them. We're looking for a high-drive, high-horsepower operator who is excited to help take Workhelix to the next level.
