Our Values

If this sounds like you, you’ll fit right in.

About the Role

Justworkers are already using AI to solve problems, build applications, and automate their work. They know their challenges best, and we're building an AI Enablement team to give them the tools, engineering expertise, and support to turn their ideas into reliable, secure, production-ready solutions.

As our Senior Manager, AI Enablement, you'll lead a new team focused on making AI-powered development and automation more accessible across Justworks. You'll start with one senior engineer, help hire another, and build a collaborative environment where both can grow, learn from each other, and do their best work.

Together, your team will own our core employee AI platform, develop purpose-built AI agents and automation, and establish the engineering foundations that help Justworkers build and deploy applications independently. You'll bring together expertise in applied AI, enterprise systems, and software engineering to deliver solutions that make a meaningful difference in how people work.

We're looking for a people-first leader who genuinely enjoys developing engineers and hasn't lost their curiosity for building things. Someone who can guide technical decisions, get hands-on when needed, and knows when to step back and let their team take ownership. You'll lead with trust, coaching, and thoughtful feedback while helping your engineers grow beyond their individual areas of expertise.

This is a new function within IT Services, with a clear mission and plenty of room to shape how it operates. You'll have the opportunity to build a team, establish its culture and technical direction, and make a lasting impact on how Justworkers use technology to get things done.
