Senior Retail AI Solutions Specialist
Full-time
This role will help Bob’s use AI to improve the performance and experience of frontline sales associates, store managers, multiunit leaders, and other sales-facing teams.
Reporting to the Vice President of Strategy and Innovation, this role will lead and help develop our Retail AI roadmap. You will help identify high-value opportunities, design and test AI-enabled solutions, coordinate implementation with Business Intelligence, IT, vendors, Training, and field leadership, and measure results.
This is a hands-on business and AI role.

The focus is not on enterprise AI strategy or software engineering. The focus is on creating practical, enterprise-ready AI tools that deliver measurable value in stores.
