AI Adoption Lead (Interim Contract - 1 year)

Compensation: $155,000 - 165,000 per year and prorated for partial years. This posting is for an existing vacancy.

Job Summary

This is an opportunity to play a hands-on role in shaping how AI is adopted across a global organization.

We're looking for an experienced Interim AI Adoption Lead to join our AI Center of Excellence during a maternity leave replacement.

Rather than focusing on one tool or one program, you'll work across a broad AI adoption portfolio. You'll help create learning experiences through our AI Academy, bring our AI Change Network to life, partner with AI Delivery Leads on business transformations, support AI tool adoption, and help us understand what's working and where people need more support.

You'll work with a diverse and global network of colleagues across G+D and have the autonomy to shape how these activities come to life.

We're looking for someone who is comfortable when not everything has been figured out yet, who enjoys connecting people and ideas, and who can turn AI strategy into experiences that make sense to employees in their everyday work.
