Full Job Description
We're hiring a hands-on AI Adoption Champion to drive responsible, measurable adoption of AI tools across our ~3,000-person aviation software organization. This is a hybrid technical-and-programmatic role: you'll drive the platform configuration, day-to-day operations, and be the visible internal champion who makes AI useful, safe, and a little bit fun for engineers, product, customer success, legal, and back-office teams alike.

You'll partner closely with IT/Security, Legal, HR, and our business unit leaders. The ideal candidate would thrive spearheading cross-functional AI adoption strategies with their hands-on knowledge of AI systems, and consumable communications to C-level executives and early career developers alike.

Key Responsibilities

Drive Adoption and Engagement

  • Build and run a multi-channel adoption program: office hours, internal community (Slack/Zoom/Confluence), demos, training, and on-demand learning paths
  • Design gamification mechanics - challenges, leaderboards, badges, prompt-of-the-week, team-vs-team competitions - tied to real productivity outcomes, not vanity activity
  • Identify and develop "AI champions" inside each business unit; equip them with playbooks, prompt libraries, and use-case templates
  • Translate wins into stories: surface high-impact examples and amplify them through internal comms, all-hands, and exec updates


Configure and Integrate

  • Own the configuration of our enterprise AI platforms (Claude, Copilot, and adjacent tools): user provisioning, SSO/SCIM, permissions, data controls, retention policies, content filters
  • Stand up and maintain integrations with our identity, observability, and productivity stack (Okta, AWS, Slack, M365, Jira, etc.)
  • Configure guardrails aligned to our AI governance framework, including data classification, sensitive-data handling, and region-specific requirements
  • Maintain a sandbox/eval environment for testing new models, prompts, and connectors before broad rollout
  • Monitor and communicate the art of the possible using emerging foundation models, skills, MCPs, and related technologies


Support, Operate, and Break/Fix

  • Serve as the AI-tooling subject-matter expert during incidents; IT, Business Applications, and Customer Support own incident response and RCA, with this role looped in on outages, degradations, and post-mortems
  • Track outage and degradation patterns and feed them back into vendor escalations and adoption planning
  • Manage vendor relationships, support tickets, license utilization, and renewal readiness
  • Keep an internal status page and known-issues log so users always know what's working


Enabling Non-Developers

  • Build role-specific learning paths for non-technical functions, e.g., plain-language curricula with realistic, function-specific examples (a CS rep summarizing tickets, a legal analyst reviewing a vendor MSA, an FP&A analyst drafting variance prose)
  • Run guided, hands-on workshops and "first-use" sessions; Default to live coaching over self-service docs for many of these audiences
  • Curate role-tuned, organizationally available tools including prompt libraries, Skills, MCPs, and git-backed Plugins that are easy to install and separately maintained from the developer-oriented material
  • Identify and develop non-technical AI champions inside each function so support is local, contextual, and trusted
  • Partner with HR and Communications to weave AI fluency into onboarding for every new hire, regardless of role


Measure and Report

  • Define and instrument the adoption KPIs that matter: active usage, depth of use, use-case mix, productivity outcomes, and ROI signals - not just seat counts
  • Build AI-assisted dashboards that segment by org, role, geography, and use-case taxonomy
  • Contribute to monthly and quarterly readouts for the AI Adoption team and executive leadership; partner with Finance on cost-per-active-user and ROI modeling
  • Run periodic surveys and qualitative research to complement the quant picture


Partner and Scale

  • Work with Legal, Privacy, and HR on policy, training, and regional rollout (including co-determination processes where applicable)
  • Partner with IT/Security on access reviews, DLP, and audit readiness
  • Feed learnings back into the AI governance framework and use-case taxonomy


Basic Qualifications

  • 3+ years in a technical role that touched both platform/admin operations and internal stakeholders - examples: SaaS admin (Salesforce, Workday, Atlassian), DevOps/SRE with internal-tools focus, sales engineer, solutions architect, or enterprise IT engineer
  • Hands-on experience configuring at least one enterprise AI platform (Claude, ChatGPT Enterprise, Copilot, Gemini, or similar) including SSO, permissions, and admin APIs
  • Comfort with cloud infrastructure concepts (AWS or Azure), identity (Okta/Entra/OIDC), and basic scripting (Python, JavaScript, or PowerShell) - enough to debug an integration, not necessarily ship production code
  • Demonstrated ability to design and run an internal program - not just deliver tickets - including communications, training, and measurement
  • Strong written communication; can write a runbook, a launch announcement, and a board-ready slide with equal comfort
  • Data fluency: you can build a dashboard, interpret a funnel, and tell the difference between a usage spike and a usage outcome


Preferred Qualifications

  • Have spent the last 6-12 months living alongside AI tools and workflows with an early-adopter mindset (knowledge graphs, skills and extensions, agentic workflows, continuous improvement)
  • Experience in a regulated industry (aviation, aerospace, financial services, healthcare) and an instinct for safety-critical software environments
  • Familiarity with enterprise AI deployment patterns: Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, API Gateway/Lambda authorizer architectures, CloudWatch/observability
  • Background in change management, learning & development, or developer relations
  • Experience designing gamification or community programs that survived past the launch high
  • Working knowledge of AI governance frameworks such as ISO 42001 and EU AI Act implications
  • Experience operating across geographies, especially EU works council environments
