Executive Director - AI Consultancy

About this role

Good Systems is the parent company behind Goodnotes, where millions of people capture and develop their ideas. Goodnotes is where we started, and it’s now the foundation for a growing family of products. By reimagining how we interact with information, we’re bringing together human creativity and the breakthrough capabilities of AI. We build products that help people turn good thinking into good work. About the team: Good Systems has been through its own AI transformation.

We've done the work: automating where it made sense, embedding AI into the systems we build and operate, providing consistent training to our people along the way. It changed how we work - and we learned a lot doing it. We now want to share what we've learned. That's why Good Systems is launching an AI Consultancy and we're looking for the person who will build it from scratch. As our founding Executive Director, you'll own the P&L, set the offer and win clients, and build the engine around you.

You'll report into the COO, working with a delivery team inside the business - so your time stays focused on growth. This role is based on-site in our London Paddington office five days per week. This is the role for you if you're excited to work on: Building a business from scratch: No structure, no case studies, no category brand behind you for the first stretch. You'll decide the shape of the offer, the pricing and the go to market.

Creating the demand: The first names on our client list will come from doors you open and conversations you lead, drawing on your network and the credibility you build in the market. Working at the front edge of AI: Testing new tools, following how the field is moving and having opinions on what really works. You understand what changes when AI is applied properly - the workflows it removes, the capacity it frees up, and the gap between a business that has genuinely adopted AI and one that has only bought it.

Shaping what we offer: Two services on a commercial footing: corporate training and thought leadership in AI transformation, and product recommendation across both Good Systems and external products. How they package and price is yours to work out. Being the face of a new brand: You’ll represent the brand publicly; speaking, publishing, showing up in the rooms where AI transformation is being decided and turning that visibility into pipeline.
