VP, AI & Platforms

📋 Job Overview

Join Veho, a company transforming the future of commerce by making shopping, shipping, and returns seamless for everyone. We are seeking a VP, AI & Platforms to lead the data science and operations research function and build platforms that make AI accessible across the organization.

🏢 About Veho

Veho’s mission is to power the future of commerce by making shopping, shipping and returns seamless for everyone. We are building a modern, end-to-end logistics infrastructure designed entirely for the ever-evolving needs of ecommerce brands and everyday consumers. Powered by next-generation technology and a vertically integrated supply chain, Veho gives brands and their customers unprecedented control over their deliveries and removes the pain from the ecommerce post-purchase experience. We make delivery the ‘extension of the brand’ and leverage it to create deeper loyalty and trust between brands and their customers, driving customer retention and lifetime value. Our rapidly growing client list includes leading consumer brands like HelloFresh, Zara, Macy’s, Sephora, and more.

🎯 The Role

You'll transform how Veho's Tech org builds. Engineers will primarily review agent output and we will shift the whole Tech org left. Data scientists will stop fighting for data and wrestling with engineering patterns; and can focus on what they do best. You'll build the platforms that make this real - and build a global team to scale it. You will lead the data science and operations research function and invest in workflows that accelerate time to value. You will then open the aperture of engineering and data to the rest of the Veho org and make AI accessible for everyone at Veho. Ultimately, you'll make the platform accessible to all of Veho, so builders in every department can ship value every day.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• Transform how Veho's Tech org builds by shifting the whole Tech org left.
• Build platforms that make AI accessible across the organization.
• Lead the data science and operations research function.
• Invest in workflows that accelerate time to value.
• Open the aperture of engineering and data to the rest of the Veho org.
• Build a global team to scale the platform.

📌 Required Qualifications

• You are a builder. You get your hands in code, you prototype, you ship. You show up with PRs, not slides. You've built platforms that other teams depend on and you know what it takes to earn adoption through excellence. Your teams respect you for your technical grasp.
• You've built and scaled teams. You know how to hire, develop people, and make hard calls. You've led distributed teams and know what breaks when you scale. You've seen different stages — what works at 10 doesn't work at 100, and you've learned that firsthand. Your success is measured by what your teams ship.
• You have deep technical roots. You can have a technical conversation with a data scientist or ML engineer without pulling someone else in. You've likely come from an MLE or ML-adjacent background and understand the friction between engineering and data science because you've lived on both sides.
• You move fast. You ship value in weeks, not quarters. You're comfortable with explicit tech debt cycles; working solution first, best solution later.

⭐ Desirable Experience

• Experience at companies with strong ML Platform / MLE cultures
• Has led engineering or Data Science and understands what it means to scale
• Experience building or leading distributed and remote teams
• Background in logistics, delivery, or marketplace tech
