ABOUT YOUR ROLE:

Be the hands-on builder of the AI Enablement team.

•      AI Fluency & Adoption: Stay current on new AI capabilities and tools and turn them into practical recommendations. Develop prompt libraries, playbooks and templates, and support the champions network through office hours and show-and-tells.

•      Responsible AI & Data Practices: Check data quality, access and privacy requirements in prototypes, and apply responsible-use practices in everyday work.

•      Roadmap & Value Tracking: Maintain the AI use-case backlog, scoring and stage-gate status; build and maintain the benefits tracker and dashboards that show value delivered and adoption progress, and prepare materials for prioritization forums and leadership updates.
