Vice President of AI Transformation

About the Role

Express Flooring has grown more than 4x since 2020, and as we continue expanding, we’re investing in AI as a critical part of how we scale.

As our Vice President of AI Transformation, you’ll report directly to the CEO and lead the company-wide strategy for embedding AI into how Express Flooring operates. You’ll partner across the business to identify high-impact opportunities, redesign how work gets done, and turn AI investments into measurable improvements in growth, profitability, productivity, and customer experience.

This is a business transformation leadership role, not a technical AI position. The right leader will understand the rapidly evolving landscape of agentic AI and be excited to put it to work in a fast-growing environment. Success won’t be measured by the number of tools deployed, but by the business outcomes AI helps our teams achieve.

Job Type: Full-Time
Compensation: $200,000 - $250,000 base annual salary + bonus

Work Arrangement: Remote
Reports To: Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
Travel Requirements: Approximately 25–50% travel, primarily to Phoenix, AZ

• Build a culture where AI is used as a strategic partner and AI agents become an integrated part of how teams work.
• Develop and execute the company’s enterprise AI strategy and multi-year roadmap.
• Partner with executive leaders across Sales, Marketing, Operations, Customer Experience, Finance, HR, IT, and Supply Chain to identify high-value AI opportunities.

• Executive presence, intellectual curiosity, strong judgment, and a bias for action in a fast-moving environment.
• The ability to translate emerging AI capabilities into solutions employees can adopt, leaders can support, and the business can scale.

You don’t need to be the person building the technology. You should be comfortable evaluating AI opportunities, partnering with technical teams, and translating what’s possible into meaningful business outcomes.
