This role is first and foremost an AI coach, educator, and change agent. You will work hands-on with individuals and teams-often 1:1-to help them translate real work into effective AI-assisted workflows. You will also design and deliver scalable, end-to-end AI training programs that reach thousands of employees, meeting them where they are and helping them progressively mature in their AI understanding and capabilities. While technical depth in building AI systems is a plus, success in this role is defined by your ability to teach, coach, influence behavior change, and drive adoption-not by building models from scratch. You will report to DPR's AI Engagement Manager and serve as a visible, trusted guide for AI usage across the enterprise. Responsibilities: AI Coaching & Enablement (Core Focus) * Act as an on-demand AI coach, supporting employees and teams through 1:1 and small-group sessions to help them apply AI to real workflows. * Advise business users on the effective use of AI-generated content, including prompt refinement, iteration techniques, and automation/workflow optimization. * Partner closely with stakeholders to translate business needs into practical AI-enabled use cases. * Troubleshoot AI and AI-enabled workflow issues, providing timely, hands-on support to ensure seamless user experiences. * Guide users in responsible AI usage, validation, and governance-aligned practices across commercial and internal AI tools. * Travel to DPR offices and project sites (~25%) to deliver in-person coaching, workshops, and working sessions. Training & Curriculum Development * Design and own end-to-end AI enablement programs, from foundational AI literacy to advanced, role-specific applications. * Create educational materials and resources that help employees understand AI concepts and explore practical applications, including: * Structured curricula and learning paths * Hands-on workshops and labs * Prompt libraries and example use cases tailored to business needs * Job aids, playbooks, and self-service resources * Develop and maintain AI use cases and prompt libraries aligned to user requirements, roles, and DPR business practices. * Deliver live training sessions (in-person and virtual), office hours, and ongoing learning forums. Adoption & Change Management * Drive behavioral change by embedding AI into how people actually work-not just how tools are introduced. * Track adoption metrics, engagement, and usage data to assess effectiveness and guide continuous improvement of training and coaching programs. * Gather feedback from users and stakeholders to iteratively refine content, tooling guidance, and enablement strategies. * Serve as a trusted advisor and internal evangelist for responsible, effective AI usage.
