AI Usage

AI is central to this role, and you will work closely with AI-generated outputs on a daily basis. AI tools are used to support efficiency and scale, while humans remain responsible for evaluation, judgment, and improvement.

AI does not make decisions at Agility. All decisions are made by people, applying sound judgment and equitable practices.

We believe technology should amplify human expertise, not replace it.

At Agility, we strive every day to build a more inclusive work environment and introduce tools that enable it. We strongly encourage applications from all people regardless of race, religion, gender, age, disability status or sexual orientation.

Even if you find yourself not checking all the boxes of our listed requirements but you are excited about this opportunity, we'd love to hear from you anyway. Our Talent Acquisition team will review your application for this role, and other potential role matches open now or in the future.

If, at any stage of the application process, you require accommodation owing to disability or a medical need, please let us know at careers@agilitypr.com for us to make appropriate arrangements.

Thank you for your time in reviewing this opportunity, and we hope to hear from you should you find this the right fit!
