e-Commerce AI Business Enablement Sr. Lead
Newell Brands · Mexico City
The Lead, AI Business Enablement guides the artificial intelligence journey of Newell's LATAM eCommerce business. It is a senior individual contributor role for a curious builder: someone who turns AI capability into commercial results across Amazon, Mercado Libre and other strategic digital customers, and who helps the whole regional organization work smarter along the way.
You'll have real freedom to explore, prototype and test ideas — and the backing to scale the ones that succeed. Some experiments won't work, and that's part of the deal. What matters is learning fast, being honest about results and turning the wins into everyday practice across the region.

Mission 1 | Drive Commercial Growth

- Turn ambiguous business questions into quantified opportunities, business cases and executive-ready recommendations.
- Partner with Sales, Category Management, Marketing, Supply Chain, Finance and Digital to help decisions move from weeks to days.

What you'll do

- Guide cross-functional improvement initiatives from diagnosis to adoption, with empathy for how people experience change.
- Create playbooks and documentation that help improvements stick.

Mission 3 | Explore, Test and Scale AI
Take AI from ideas to everyday practice through experimentation: try, test, learn and scale what works.
What you'll do
- Spot and prioritize promising AI use cases across the business, guided by a clear view of potential value.
- Prototype, pilot and scale solutions such as commercial copilots, AI agents, workflow automation, pricing and competitive intelligence, content generation, reporting automation and knowledge assistants.

- Nurture adoption through enablement, training and honest measurement of real usage.
- Stay curious about the frontier and test emerging AI technologies.
