The Role You'll spend real time on both sides of AI transformation here: shipping AI-powered workflows that solve real problems, and making sure the rest of Abacum can actually run with AI day to day. One day you're building an agent that saves a team hours of manual work. The next you're in a room turning a skeptical function into believers, or figuring out what "good with AI" should look like for a team that's never had the chance to learn. You'll own the foundation for all of it: a structured AI baseline across every function, org-wide guidelines for how AI shows up in hiring and performance reviews, and the work that builds real AI fluency across the company: tandem sessions, function-specific training, skill repositories, best-practice sharing, and a growing network of AI champions.
What You'll Own Baseline & foundation: Build and maintain a structured AI baseline across every function detailing where teams stand today, what's blocking adoption, and what "good" looks like next. Feed that into org-wide AI guidelines. AI fluency & enablement: Run tandem sessions and training that cover both AI features within the tools teams already use and general AI skills such as prompting, judgment, best practices for day-to-day work. Help maintain skill repositories, org-wide and function-specific, so training tracks what's actually relevant to each team. AI workflow design: Build AI-powered workflows and automations yourself that solve real operational problems across the organization. Ship a first version, get feedback, iterate, and know when to move on to the next opportunity. Rollout enablement: Partner on structured enablement, training and comms, for automations as they ship, so adoption is part of the release, not an afterthought. Champions network: Grow and support a cross-functional network of AI champions, with a real point of view on where that network should expand next. Adoption & fluency accountability: Own AI adoption and fluency tracking at the org-capability level over time, both general skill level and adoption of specific shipped work, not just per automation. How You'll Work This role sits inside the Strategy & Operations function with a cross-functional remit that touches every function at Abacum. It's the adoption and capability layer of AI transformation, and it sits alongside, not instead of, the technical build work already happening elsewhere in the org. You'll be embedded across teams: reading where a function actually stands before you design training for it, running a tandem session with the people who'll use it rather than presenting a finished deck. The influence will come from what you build, what you teach, and how well you make the case for both. A workflow or training program nobody adopts is worse than doing nothing, and the people you're working with will know the difference.
