- Write quick-start guides, templates, and checklists
- Provide basic coaching and support to help employees feel confident using the tool
- Follow-up with each department to encourage adoption, track usage, make improvements to processes
- Run short training sessions (in person or over video)
Track Outcomes and Ensure Safety
- Monitor effectiveness (time saved, accuracy, quality)
- Ensure all AI use follows company rules and data privacy best practices
- Help maintain responsible use of AI (human review, data protection, no sensitive inputs

- Minimal travel required
Why This Role Matters
