Job Duties:

• Drive AI adoption by helping teams incorporate approved AI capabilities into business processes, workflows, and everyday work.

• Provide practical guidance on approved AI platforms and capabilities, including Microsoft Copilot, Copilot Studio, Claude, Salesforce Agentforce, and the Microsoft Power Platform.
• Translate business needs into effective AI-enabled workflows, including prompts, reusable templates, agents, automations, and supporting process guidance, in partnership with the appropriate technical platform owners.

• Deliver training, demonstrations, office hours, and targeted coaching that help employees use AI tools confidently, effectively, and responsibly.
• Provide first-line functional support for AI users, including answering usage questions, identifying common adoption barriers, troubleshooting basic workflow or prompt issues, and routing platform, access, security, or technical issues to the appropriate support team.
• Gather and synthesize user feedback to identify recurring needs, usability challenges, training gaps, and opportunities to improve existing AI solutions or introduce new capabilities.
• Measure and communicate adoption and business impact using defined success measures such as active usage, user engagement, time savings, process improvements, user satisfaction, and achievement of intended business outcomes.
• Promote responsible AI use by reinforcing company policies, approved-tool guidance, data-handling expectations, human-review requirements, and established AI governance processes.
• Stay current on evolving AI capabilities and practices, evaluate their relevance to Commercial Operations, and communicate practical recommendations without introducing unnecessary tool proliferation.
