Design and deliver training programs, workshops, demos, and enablement materials that help employees at every level use AI tools effectively and safely. Identify high-impact AI use cases across business units, champion them from concept to adoption, and measure their impact. Build and maintain the internal AI playbook—guides, best practices, templates, and reference materials that make it easy for teams to build with AI. This is a hands-on senior IC role.
