Position Overview: We are seeking a strategic and execution-oriented Director of AI Enablement to lead the practical adoption of AI capabilities across Patriot Growth Insurance Services.

The ideal candidate combines strong business acumen with technical fluency and is capable of translating emerging AI capabilities into measurable business outcomes across a complex, fast-growing organization. This position plays a critical role in building Patriot’s long-term AI operating model, enterprise enablement strategy, and responsible AI adoption framework.

Work Arrangement: This is a full-time, fully remote position.

Professional Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain Patriot’s enterprise AI enablement roadmap in partnership with the CIO, IT leadership, and business stakeholders across the organization.
• Establish and maintain an enterprise AI intake, prioritization, and governance model to evaluate, approve, monitor, and scale AI initiatives across business functions.
• Identify, prioritize, and govern AI initiatives based on business value, operational impact, feasibility, data readiness, risk considerations, and change management complexity.
• Partner with department leaders to evaluate and redesign workflows using AI-enabled solutions, including automation, knowledge retrieval, decision support, workflow assistance, and operational efficiency improvements.
• Build and lead an internal AI champion network to encourage adoption, gather feedback, share best practices, and support scalable enablement efforts across departments.
• Classify, evaluate, and mature field-built or locally developed AI solutions by partnering with business teams to assess business value, technical feasibility, operational impact, and enterprise applicability.
• Review locally developed AI solutions and determine whether solutions should be scaled, rebuilt, integrated into enterprise systems, retired, or maintained as local productivity tools based on business needs, governance standards, and long-term supportability.
• Establish and maintain enterprise AI governance standards, including acceptable-use policies, risk management frameworks, vendor evaluation processes, human oversight requirements, and responsible AI practices.
• Collaborate with Security, Legal, Compliance, Procurement, Data, and IT teams to ensure AI usage aligns with regulatory obligations, internal policies, cybersecurity standards, privacy requirements, and risk mitigation expectations.
• Lead evaluation and implementation efforts related to AI platforms, copilots, workflow automation tools, knowledge retrieval systems, and Microsoft-centric AI technologies, including Microsoft 365 Copilot, Azure OpenAI, Power Platform, Teams, SharePoint, and related tools.
• Evaluate vendor solutions, internal tools, and technical implementations with strong technical judgment, challenging vendors and solution builders to ensure practical, scalable, secure, and supportable outcomes.
• Assess technical architecture, integrations, production readiness, scalability, maintainability, and long-term support requirements for AI-enabled solutions and platforms.
• Distinguish high-value, business-relevant AI opportunities from low-value experimentation, vendor hype, or “AI theater” by focusing on measurable operational and business outcomes.
• Build scalable AI adoption and enablement programs, including employee training materials, usage standards, communities of practice, AI champion networks, and structured feedback mechanisms.
• Partner with Architecture and Data teams to improve data quality, taxonomy, knowledge management, content readiness, and governance frameworks that support effective AI outcomes.
• Define, monitor, and report measurable enterprise success metrics for AI initiatives, including productivity gains, workflow efficiency, adoption rates, cost avoidance, service improvements, employee experience enhancements, and realized business value.
• Create executive-level reporting frameworks that clearly communicate where AI is creating measurable enterprise value, where adoption is accelerating, and where investments are underperforming or require adjustment.
• Oversee the AI enablement portfolio, ensuring initiatives move from pilot stages into sustainable, enterprise-supported workflows and operating models.
• Collaborate with vendors, implementation partners, and internal stakeholders to evaluate AI solutions while minimizing unnecessary complexity, operational risk, shelfware, and low-value technology investments.
• Prepare executive-level reporting, business cases, implementation roadmaps, and program updates for senior leadership and key stakeholders.
• Stay informed on emerging AI technologies, enterprise use cases, governance trends, and industry best practices to support continuous improvement and long-term enablement success.

Qualifications and Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Business, Engineering, Data Analytics, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 8+ years of experience in technology, digital transformation, enterprise systems, automation, AI enablement, data, or related functions.
• Demonstrated experience leading cross-functional technology, business transformation, or enterprise enablement initiatives from strategy through implementation and adoption.
• Strong understanding of practical AI use cases, including generative AI, copilots, workflow automation, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), knowledge management, AI-assisted decision support, and business process enablement.
• Demonstrated technical fluency with the ability to challenge vendors, evaluate solution architecture and integrations, assess production readiness, and determine long-term scalability and supportability of AI solutions.
• Experience partnering with business stakeholders to identify operational pain points, redesign workflows, and implement technology-enabled process improvements.
• Familiarity with AI governance, responsible AI frameworks, data privacy, cybersecurity, vendor risk management, and enterprise compliance considerations.
• Experience evaluating enterprise SaaS platforms, AI technologies, implementation partners, and technology vendors.
• Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts into practical, business-focused guidance for technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience with Microsoft technologies, including Microsoft 365, Copilot, Azure OpenAI, Power Platform, Teams, SharePoint, Purview, and related tools preferred.
• Experience in insurance, financial services, private equity-backed organizations, or other regulated industries preferred.
• Proven ability to distinguish meaningful AI value from low-impact experimentation or “AI theater” while aligning investments to measurable business outcomes.
