Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- Not just keeping e-commerce running, but radically simplifying daily work through generative AI and smart automation.
- At benuta, you are the strategic mind who eliminates manual routine tasks and transforms untapped efficiency potentials into real business impact.
- We do not rest on our laurels as the European market leader - AI is already a lived reality in our initial areas.
- Now we want to systematically reduce complexity across all departments.
- In this single-person role, you have full ownership, operate without bureaucratic hurdles, and drive AI adoption directly with the C-level.
- If you're eager to do real pioneering work and make work noticeably easier for the entire team, then this is your next challenge!
- Identify and prioritize use cases: You build a portfolio of AI and automation use cases, prioritize them based on business impact and feasibility, and align the roadmap with the COO and CEO.
- Independent working: You actively collaborate with employees from product development, design, category management, purchasing, sales, customer service, logistics, and management.
- You understand their processes and recognize where AI saves time, improves quality, or creates new opportunities.
- Set and track strategic goals: You collaboratively define clear KPI targets with C-level executives for each area and steer the implementation through quarterly objectives.
- Building solutions with the right AI tools: You work with leading AI platforms (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Google Gemini) as well as workflow and automation tools (n8n, Make, Zapier or comparable).
- Where platform integration is required, you define the requirements and work closely with the Head of Platform Engineering.
- Knowledge transfer and empowerment: You train employees in the safe and productive use of AI tools, build an internal AI champion network, and ensure that the departments can work independently with them.
- Governance and Data Protection: You define the internal rules for the use of AI - data classification, GDPR compliance, IP protection - in close coordination with IT and executive management.

Qualifications
- Senior Tech & Tool Skills: You master Prompt Engineering, agentic workflows, and RAG patterns at an expert level and are highly proficient in using n8n, Make, or Zapier, as well as basic API logic.

- Strong builder mentality: You stand out through a high degree of personal responsibility and initiative.
- You don't need rigid guidelines, but rather proactively drive topics forward as a hands-on doer.
- Communication skills & language proficiency: You have the ability to convey complex AI topics clearly to both C-level executives and staff members (e.g., in logistics or accounting).
- You communicate absolutely fluently in German as well as fluently in English.
Experience
