The Senior Manager, AI Enablement & Adoption is a highly visible, senior individual contributor role responsible for driving meaningful, sustained adoption of AI across Schwab’s internal workforce. This is not a traditional change management or training role. It is an internal operating and integration role focused on translating AI capabilities into everyday productivity, workflow transformation, and measurable business value.

You will bring strong technical fluency combined with business judgment and an operational mindset. You will build deep relationships across business units, identify role-based and workflow-based opportunities for AI, and drive them from early adoption through scaled, business-as-usual integration. You will be able to determine what to prioritize, how to sequence change, and what both technology and people need to successfully adopt new ways of working.

This role reports to the Director of AI Strategy & Enablement and serves as a connective layer between business leaders, technology teams, and across internal business units. As a seasoned individual contributor, you will help define Schwab’s employee-facing AI adoption journey and ensure investments are intentional, sequenced, and grounded in ROI.

• AI Enablement & Adoption Strategy: Define and execute Schwab’s internal AI enablement and adoption strategy, evolving from early experimentation to scaled, operationalized workflows.  Translate AI strategy into practical, role-based and workflow-based adoption plans that fit how employees actually work.
• Business Integration & Internal Partnership: Build and sustain a strong network of AI Champions and business partners across functions. Partner with leaders to identify, shape, and prioritize AI opportunities that drive productivity, quality, risk reduction, and employee experience outcomes. Act as a trusted advisor to business leaders on where AI creates the most value and what it takes to realize it.
• Use Case Prioritization & Scaling: Identify high-impact AI use cases with a strong bias toward operational and foundational workflows. Assess opportunities based on value, feasibility, adoption complexity, and scalability. Drive the transition from pilots to repeatable, enterprise-ready solutions.
• Technology Enablement & Road mapping: Partner closely with engineering, product, governance, and vendors to inform AI platform and LLM roadmaps. Ensure technology investments align to adoption needs and measurable outcomes.  Maintain technical fluency to bridge business needs with AI capabilities without requiring hands-on engineering.
• Change, Adoption & Workforce Enablement: Lead the human side of AI adoption, including behavior change, trust building, and overcoming adoption friction.  Design enablement approaches that go beyond training and focus on embedding AI into day-to-day workflows.  Partner on reskilling and upskilling strategies to prepare employees for sustained AI-enabled work.
• Operationalization & Measurement: Operationalize foundational AI-powered workflows so they can scale consistently.  Define success metrics, adoption signals, and value indicators.  Use data to continuously refine prioritization, sequencing, and enablement strategies.
