• Shape Enablement Platforms: Contribute to the design and content architecture of scalable enablement platforms (e.g., an AI fluency coaching platform) that extend reach beyond instructor-led delivery.

• Manage Stakeholders & Advocate: Serve as the senior point of contact for AI enablement across business units and represent Crowe's AI programs in internal and external forums as an advocate for responsible AI innovation and adoption.

• Lead & Develop Talent: Serve as hiring manager and mentor for junior enablement staff and coordinate the work of contributors supporting enablement initiatives.

• 5-8+ years of experience in technology enablement, learning and development, digital or AI transformation, or change management - including demonstrated ownership of programs end-to-end.

• Proven ability to translate technical and analytical concepts for both non-technical and senior leadership audiences.

• Hands-on depth with enterprise AI platforms such as Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, and Claude, including practical understanding of effective and responsible use, including expertise building custom GPTs, Copilot Studio agents, or equivalent.
