MAËLYS is a fast-growing global body care brand, built on a proprietary e-commerce platform, deep consumer insights, and a relentless focus on performance. Millions of women worldwide use our products, and we are on a mission to become one of the most influential body care brands globally.
We operate at extreme velocity, with high standards and an obsession with results. We believe in challenging conventional thinking, making data-driven decisions, and moving quickly from idea to execution.
We are looking for a Head of AI to build and lead MAËLYS' AI transformation journey, serving as a rare opportunity for a highly strategic and deeply hands-on builder who thrives at the intersection of business, technology, and execution. In this role, you will have the ultimate playground to shape how our entire company operates, influence every major function, and create a lasting competitive advantage for a leading body care brand. Initially operating as an individual contributor partnering closely with the CEO and the Management Team. Over time, you will transition to build and lead a small, high-performing team as AI becomes an increasingly critical capability across our global e-commerce and retail operations.
To thrive in our high-pace environment, you must think like an owner, not a consultant, and be equally comfortable discussing macro business strategy with executives as well as writing code to solve a messy problem yourself. You are someone who embraces ambiguity, enjoys building from scratch, and is completely obsessed with execution. You possess the high emotional intelligence and empathy required to collaborate with non-technical stakeholders and build trust, yet you maintain the thick skin, resilience, and great sense of humor needed to handle direct communication and rapid structural pivots. Most importantly, you maintain an uncompromising commitment to quality and process improvement, ensuring that every automation or workflow you deploy actively drives our core business metrics forward without requiring hand-holding or constant reminders.
