Group Integrator – Business Transformation & AI Scale
Worldwide
# We are looking for someone who understands **how businesses actually run**. You may have worked with **EOS, business transformation, scaling frameworks, operational excellence, private equity, consulting, or multi-business environments**. You understand accountability, scorecards, meetings, people, process, priorities, cash flow, execution and what it actually takes to scale a business. But there is one major difference. **It is 2026, and the playbook has changed.** AI has changed the speed at which companies can build, analyse, communicate, automate and execute. At one extreme, there are experienced business operators still trying to run companies using a 2020 operating model. At the other extreme, there are people with AI tools and a laptop telling businesses how to operate despite never having actually run one. We believe the opportunity sits directly in the middle. **Real business principles + AI leverage.** That is what we are building. ## The Role We are looking for a **Group Integrator** who can help turn strategy into execution across a growing group of businesses. Think of this as a modern version of an EOS Integrator or Group COO-style execution role, but operating inside an **AI-native organisation**. You will work with leadership to make sure: * priorities become actions * actions have owners * owners are accountable * meetings produce decisions * decisions actually get implemented * KPIs are visible * bottlenecks are identified * systems are documented * business units operate consistently * AI agents are being used properly * automation removes unnecessary administration * leadership is not becoming the bottleneck * good business principles are retained while AI increases the speed of execution We are not looking for someone obsessed with AI for the sake of AI. We want someone who understands that **AI is leverage, not the business itself.** Customers still matter. Sales still matter. Margins still matter. Cash flow still matters. Accountability still matters. Leadership still matters. Execution still matters. The difference is that AI now allows all of those things to happen at a completely different speed and scale. ## Who This Role May Suit You may have previously been: * an EOS Integrator * COO * Chief of Staff * Business Transformation Manager * Operations Director * Management Consultant * Private Equity operating partner * multi-site business operator * franchise operations leader * business improvement specialist * systems and process leader You might also be someone who has spent 10, 15 or 20 years learning how businesses operate and has suddenly realised the traditional corporate world is changing very quickly. If that is you, we are interested. You do **not** need to arrive as an AI expert. We can give you access to the AI systems, agents, tools and people around you. What we cannot easily teach is: * commercial judgment * operational discipline * accountability * leadership * pattern recognition * understanding people * knowing why businesses succeed or fail * knowing when something that looks good on a dashboard will not work in the real world ## What We Are Building We are building a group where humans and AI agents work together. Our intention is not to replace experienced operators. It is to give experienced operators significantly more leverage. Instead of one person managing six direct reports, the future may involve that person coordinating people, AI agents, dashboards, workflows and automated systems across a much wider operating span. We want to build that model properly. Not theoretically. Inside real operating businesses. ## What We Need From You We want someone who can walk into complexity and create order. Someone who can challenge leadership when something does not make sense. Someone who can keep projects moving. Someone who can connect departments instead of allowing silos to develop. Someone who can separate genuine business problems from technology problems. Someone who understands that the answer is not always another piece of software. And someone willing to keep learning because the tools we are using today may be completely different six months from now. ## You Will Need To Be Comfortable With * rapid change * multiple businesses * imperfect information * direct communication * strong accountability * AI agents * automation * dashboards * SOPs * Monday.com and similar operating systems * business scorecards * weekly operating rhythms * leadership meetings * identifying bottlenecks * driving projects through to completion You do not need to know every AI platform. You need to be capable of learning quickly and understanding **where AI genuinely improves the business and where it does not.** ## What We Offer You will be working inside a business that is actively experimenting with what the next generation of company operating systems looks like. You will have access to AI tools, agents and technical support. You will have the opportunity to take traditional business operating principles and apply them inside a genuinely AI-enabled organisation. And you will have room to help shape how the entire group operates as we scale. We are not looking for someone who wants a comfortable corporate seat. We are looking for someone who wants to help build what comes next. ## The Commitment The only thing we really ask is commitment to the mission. Bring the business experience. Bring the discipline. Bring the lessons from how companies used to scale. We will bring the AI infrastructure and the willingness to change. Together, we want to build a company that combines **proven business fundamentals with the leverage available in 2026 and beyond.** If you understand both worlds — or you understand the old world deeply and are ready to learn the new one — we want to hear from you. **When applying, tell us:** 1. What businesses or teams you have helped scale. 2. Whether you have worked with EOS or a similar operating system. 3. The biggest operational transformation you have personally led. 4. How you think AI changes the role of an Integrator or COO. 5. One example where you believe businesses are using AI incorrectly today. 6. Why this type of environment appeals to you.
