Role Summary
The pace of business and technology transformation, particularly with AI, is outpacing the organization's ability to absorb change. The Workforce Readiness team exists to close that gap.

- Agentic AI Adoption: Governance, learning, community, and support models to scale autonomous AI agents safely across the enterprise.
The ideal candidate has experience with launching internal AI enablement programs, is a trusted advisor within program team, with senior executives, and brings strong business acumen, exceptional communication skills, and proven experience leading large-scale digital and organizational transformations in complex, matrixed environments.

- Shape the integrated change narrative for clarity and consistency across all three AI enablement tracks; aligning with overall AI enterprise strategy.
- Prototype new approaches to workforce planning, scenario modeling, and human + AI collaboration.
- Activate engagement in learning journeys and enablement curricula for AI adoption (building on Copilot 101-401 and subsequently created content for Unified Agent and Agentic AI audiences ongoing).
- Translate learnings into repeatable frameworks, tools, or products that scale across the enterprise.
- Craft high-impact communications and execute communications in partnership with program team: newsletters viva engage posts , weekly updates, progress summaries, leader kits, employee messaging, and safe-adoption content.
- Manage SharePoint content to ensure materials are current, accurate, and easy to navigate.
- Lead weekly engagement sessions, information cascades, and alignment forums across application owners and teams.
- Prepare executive-ready pre-reads, updates, and recommendations for governance forums.
- Define and track adoption metrics, readiness indicators, and engagement KPIs; build dashboards and summaries for senior audiences.
- Monitor risks and escalate or mitigate appropriately.
- Contribute change-relevant inputs for investment views, PFRs, and base reporting.
- Drive post-launch reinforcement and continuous improvement to sustain adoption and realize value.
- 8+ years of relevant experience in change management, workforce transformation, or related fields.
- 4-year degree in change management, human resources, psychology, business, or related field (or equivalent experience). Master's degree preferred.
