AI Automation Specialist, REMOTE – C-4 Analytics
C-4 Analytics is a fast-growing, private, full-service digital marketing company that excels at helping automotive dealerships increase sales, increase market share, and lower cost per acquisition. C-4 Analytics is committed to developing innovative solutions for every dealer in every market and to providing the highest levels of accountability and customer service. We are currently hiring for an AI Automation Specialist, REMOTE to be a cross-functional builder and a technical thought partner across the entire company. Your focus is on identifying those pesky business process bottlenecks and translating them into brilliant, practical automations using modern AI, APIs, and no-code/low-code platforms. You'll operate as a true general contractor: you can work directly with stakeholders, propose the solution, and implement it end-to-end without needing the core engineering team.
If you are unable to complete the application due to a disability, contact us to ask for accommodation or an alternative application process.
The Gig: Your Mission
- The AI Visionary: Be the go-to expert applying AI across Sales, Marketing, Ops, Finance, and beyond.
- The Workflow Wizard: Map processes, spot bottlenecks, and eliminate manual effort with brilliant AI solutions.
- The Systems Architect: Proactively propose and translate ambiguous business needs into structured, end-to-end system designs.
- The Hands-On Builder: Design and execute game-changing, AI-powered workflows using modern automation tools and APIs.
A Day in the Life:
- Build smarter solutions: Apply AI for decision support, content generation, classification, and data enrichment.
- Integrate systems: Ensure internal systems (CRM, data platforms, cloud tools) are seamlessly connected.
- Own the solution: Take projects from lightbulb moment to production, ensuring reliability and business relevance.
- Stay current: Serve as the internal expert on the latest AI models and tooling.
What You Need to Succeed: The Rare Trifecta
This role requires a combination of all three:
- Business Process Strength: Strong intuition for how a fast-paced organization operates, comfort with senior leaders, and clear communication on goals and tradeoffs.
- Engineering Mindset: Thinks in systems (inputs/outputs/failure modes), is fluent in APIs and data structures, and drives relentlessly for reliability and scalability.
- AI Expertise: Deep, hands-on understanding of modern AI models, knowing exactly where AI adds maximum leverage, and experience shipping AI into production workflows.
Core Background
We are looking for hands-on experience in real, imperfect operating environments.
- Experience: Typically 4+ years of professional experience owning systems end-to-end. Demonstrated history of shipping solutions that other teams rely on daily.
- We Value: Consulting roles with implementation responsibility, internal tools/business systems teams, and experience in startup/scale-up environments.
- We Are Not Seeking: Pure ML research profiles, AI "evangelists" without execution depth, or product managers who do not build/implement.
Hard Qualifiers (Non-Negotiable)
- Experience building cross-functional business systems, not isolated tools.
- Ability to go from whiteboard concept to live, production workflow.
- Focus on business impact and ROI, not novelty for its own sake.
- Comfort pushing back on weak ideas, even with senior stakeholders.
Soft Qualifiers (Equally Important)
- Low ego and high ownership.
- Impatience with unnecessary process and wasted effort.
- Calm, structured thinking in ambiguous situations.
- Practical decision-making over "perfect" architecture.
Specific Skills & Expertise
- Must-Have: Proven track record in building cross-functional systems, strong familiarity with AI models, experience with automation platforms and APIs, and excellent communication.
- Nice-to-Have: Background in operations/consulting, experience with CRMs/data platforms, light scripting (Python/JavaScript).
What This Role Is NOT:
- Not a research or theory role—this is about building.
- Not a departmental analyst—this is cross-functional.
- Not a pure software engineering role—this is business-driven systems building.
Salary: $100,000 to $130,000 USD per year (competitive and negotiable) and comprehensive benefits (Health, Retirement, Unlimited PTO).
