Role Overview

Reporting to the Director of AI Adoption, the Senior AI Enablement Specialist is a hands-on, high-impact role at the intersection of AI fluency, workflow design, and change management. You won't be building models or architecting platforms. You'll be doing something arguably more important: helping real teams work smarter, faster, and more confidently with AI — in ways that actually stick.

This is a role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves quickly from idea to execution, and gets genuine satisfaction from watching a team go from hesitant to fluent.

What You'll Do:

• Turn AI potential into real workflows: Partner with leaders across the company to identify high-value opportunities, then build the playbooks, prompts, templates, and step-by-step processes that make AI-powered ways of working repeatable and scalable — not just one-off experiments.
• Drive adoption that lasts: Design and deliver training sessions, workshops, office hours, and role-specific learning experiences. Help teams move past the "I tried it once" stage to durable, confident, everyday AI use.
• Bridge capability and practice: Serve as the translator between what AI can do and what teams actually need. Work cross-functionally with IT, Legal, Security, and functional leaders to ensure AI efforts are aligned, responsible, and effective.
• Measure what matters: Track adoption patterns, surface friction points, and help define what success looks like — whether that's speed, quality, productivity, or workflow impact. Use those insights to continuously improve how CA scales AI adoption.
• Champion responsible use: Help teams develop strong judgment about where AI adds value, where it doesn't, and what good human oversight looks like. You'll be a key voice in building a culture of effective and responsible AI use.

Who You Are:

• You have experience driving adoption, enablement, or change management in a business environment — and you combine that with real, hands-on fluency with modern AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, or Copilot.
• You know how to take a messy business problem and redesign the workflow around it.
• You're pragmatic, organized, and energized by helping others succeed.
• You're comfortable not having all the answers in a fast-moving space — and you're good at figuring it out anyway.

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience supporting enterprise AI rollouts or internal transformation initiatives
• Familiarity with governance, responsible use, or data/privacy considerations
• Experience building dashboards or reporting frameworks for adoption and impact
• A track record working with executive stakeholders or highly cross-functional teams

A Note on What This Role Is (and Isn't):

This is not a software engineering, data science, or enterprise architecture role. It's an enablement and change management role — one that requires strong business judgment, communication skills, and the ability to connect AI capability to real organizational outcomes.

If that sounds like your sweet spot, we'd love to hear from you.

Benefits and Pay Range:

Pay Range: $93,250 - $166,250.
