Gen AI is a powerful new technology that we believe will transform the way that businesses perform and operate. The same way that early adopters developed a competitive advantage in the 1980s with software and in the early 2000s with the internet, we believe that companies that actively invest in understanding and applying Gen AI to their business will develop a competitive advantage over those that do not. At Glovo we have decided to actively invest in applying Gen AI across our business (vs letting it happen more organically) and are looking to find the leader that will own and drive that adoption.

YOUR MISSION

We are seeking a strategic leader to own the application of Gen AI technology across our organization. This role will focus on applying Gen AI to both internal processes as well as customer facing products and services with the goal of improving productivity and effectiveness.
