Job Description

The AI Enablement Lead will be responsible for driving, coordinating, and providing technical expertise in the implementation of artificial intelligence tools and systems across Revalize. This is a new role designed to bring technical expertise and support across the organization around the implementation of AI technologies to drive the desired business outcomes. The individual will serve as the central point of contact for AI adoption, working across all departments to identify opportunities, deploy AI solutions, and build enterprise-wide AI competency.

Responsibilities and Duties

• Project Identification & Management: Identify potential AI use cases and projects across the organization by collaborating with each business unit. Prioritize a portfolio of AI initiatives based on business impact and feasibility and manage these projects through their lifecycle (from proof of concept to full deployment).
• Technical Implementation: Oversee the technical implementation of AI tools and systems. This includes selecting appropriate AI technologies (e.g. machine learning models, generative AI tools, RPA software) and coordinating with IT or external vendors to integrate these tools into existing workflows. Where feasible, develop small prototypes or proof-of-concept solutions directly.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with stakeholders in all 3 business engines (Organic Growth, Business Operations, Delivery) to understand their processes and pain points. Ensure AI solutions are tailored to each function’s needs and are integrated smoothly into operations.
• Training & Enablement: Develop and deliver training programs or documentation to help employees adopt new AI-driven tools. This includes educating teams on how to use AI applications (e.g. an AI-enhanced CPQ system or an AI-based data analytics tool) and promoting best practices in line with the AI policy.
• AI Governance & Policy Compliance: Serve as the guardian of the corporate AI policy, ensuring that all AI use within the company meets guidelines for ethical use, data security, and compliance. This involves working with the Legal/Compliance team to assess tools for risks and with IT to enforce data privacy standards in AI projects.
• Continuous Innovation: Stay up-to-date with AI industry trends and emerging technologies. Proactively recommend new tools or approaches that could benefit Revalize (for example, improvements in generative AI that could automate content creation or advances in predictive analytics for sales forecasting).
• Vendor and Partner Management: Manage relationships with AI technology vendors or consultants if third-party solutions are used. Evaluate vendor offerings and negotiate contracts to fit the company’s budget and requirements.
• Champion Network Leadership: Build and lead an internal network of “AI Champions” (representatives in each department – see AI Champions Program below). Provide these champions with guidance, coordinate their efforts, and incorporate their feedback to drive grassroots AI adoption across all teams.

Qualifications

• Technical Skills & Experience:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • Hands-on experience with AI/ML technologies – for example, familiarity with generative AI tools (like large language models), specialized AI solutions, or process automation platforms.
  • Ability to evaluate and implement software tools and APIs; comfort with scripting or light programming to customize solutions or analyze data.
  • Solid understanding of data privacy, security, and ethical considerations in AI, ensuring compliance with responsible AI practices and regulations.
• Professional Experience:
  • 3+ years of experience in a technology strategy, IT project management, or solutions architect role (experience leading AI or automation projects is highly desirable).
  • Proven track record of managing projects from concept to delivery, including coordinating cross-functional teams, timeline and budget management, and stakeholder communication.
  • Experience in driving digital transformation or innovation initiatives within an organization, preferably in a software or manufacturing-focused company.
  • Strong business acumen to align technical solutions with business goals – able to understand various departmental functions (sales, marketing, product development, operations, etc.) and identify where AI can add value.
• Interpersonal Skills:
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills – capable of explaining complex AI concepts in simple terms to non-technical audiences and inspiring excitement about new tools.
  • Collaboration and leadership abilities – able to influence without direct authority, rally teams around new initiatives, and build trust with executives and frontline staff alike.
  • Problem-solving mindset with curiosity and creativity – comfortable working in ambiguous areas to figure out innovative solutions, and resilient in the face of setbacks or resistance.
  • Training and mentoring skills – enthusiastic about teaching others and supporting colleagues through change, acting as an empathetic change agent for AI adoption.
