About Safari AI
Safari AI's vision is to Automate Action of the leading companies in the physical economy, from Entertainment, Live Venues, QSR's, Retail and beyond. The company uses computer vision AI to Measure, Alert and provide AI-generated Recommendations at the operations of leading enterprises such as Merlin/Legoland, 7-11, Tanger Outlets, Charlotte Hornets, Calgary Flames, and more. This year, Safari AI's platform will begin to use this data and to suggest to clients how they can optimize their operations to generate higher throughput, more revenue and optimize staff deployment.
 
Safari AI is venture-funded and expects to raise its Series A in 2026.
 
Leadership & Culture
Safari AI is co-founded by Ali Vahabzadeh & Kaiwen Yuan, two leaders who have meaningful exits under their belts and have managed large, high-performing Go To Market and Engineering teams. The company is headquartered in Miami with the Engineering team based in Vancouver with some distributed team members.
 
About You And How You Succeed At Safari AI
You're excited about building a product and creating a market that hasn't been done before. You have a strong bias toward action when you are stuck but are not afraid to ask for help when you need to. You're a high agency contributor, eager to test new ways of doing things and take advantage of the freedom and culture an early stage startup can afford you. You want to lead the company's engagement with category leaders in a variety of industries, solving some of their biggest challenges.

About the Role
We have an exciting opportunity for a hands-on operations and finance professional to report directly to Safari AI's CEO and manage a meaningful part of the company. You’ll be able to drive mission-critical day-to-day business operations, set the company up for scale and support the company’s most pressing strategic initiatives to help grow the business.

The CEO and Go-To-Market team are based in Miami and this role would be expected to work from the Safari AI's Coconut Grove office. 

What you will be Leading

  • Lead essential business operations functions, including but not limited to Finance,  Vendor Management, Investor Relations, Auditing, and other everyday functions
  • Manage the company model and budget
  • Pair up with the CEO to enable and scale up founder-led sales
  • Manage our CRM, revenue reporting and other sales KPI's
  • Assist the CEO in future fundraising and current investor relations efforts

Requirements for the Role

  • Strong academic and professional track record demonstrating business impact and adaptability
  • 3+ years of experience in Finance, Management Consulting, or similar Operations / Finance / Strategy leadership position at a early- or mid-stage startup, preferably in Enterprise SaaS
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Detail-oriented with strong organizational and administrative skills
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
  • Bias for action with natural ability to multitask
  • Eager to "eat responsibility" and not wait to be told what to do

Why bet on Computer Vision and Safari AI? 

  1. Huge opportunity hiding in plain sight: leveraging already-installed cameras to automate and real-time action on operational data
  2. Already the market leader in enterprise CV by working with industry leaders with billions in revenue
  3. Large chasm between customer knowledge and market availability, i.e. customers don't know what is available in the market...yet.
  4. Early leader in computer vision; everyone is small and unbranded (i.e. no Amazon or Google in the room to compete with)
  5. Very modular, allowing Safari AI and its customers to invent whole new use cases on a regular basis
  6. Developed the tech and data pipelines over three years and invested several million dollars and is now ready to scale
