•    Positive business stakeholder feedback.
•    Delivery of high-quality enablement materials and learning experiences.
•    Strong partnerships between the AI CoE and business line teams.
•    Increased awareness and understanding of AI capabilities.

Main responsibilities
•    AI Champions program: Primary focus. The first cohort of about 15 people is kicking off soon, and this person would join right after. They would liaise with and manage the cohort, build structure around program expectations, and define how outcomes are measured.
•    Enablement and support: Act as a go-to resource for general questions on available AI capabilities, and lead hands-on sessions and problem-solving, especially for Copilot.
•    Materials creation: Talk with people about their problems, then turn those conversations into reference files and guides that support upskilling and AI literacy.
•    Dialogue building: Encourage open, collaborative conversation about how AI is used across the business.

Must-have skills
•    Copilot knowledge: Working familiarity with Copilot and its capabilities, plus general AI tool literacy (the one clear hard skill).
•    Communication: The top priority. The ability to distill complex information into clear, usable content. The manager acknowledges this is hard to list as a resume skill, and that the team already has plenty of technical strength but needs more of this.
•    Organization / light project management: Enough structure to run a cohort program and keep materials and follow-ups on track, without needing a full project manager.

Arrangements
•    Will be hybrid 3 days a week in-office. One day will need to be a Wednesday and the one day will need to be either a Monday or Friday.

Extend or Convert:
•    Extension up to 24 months is possible. The manager doesn't see this position or work going away.
•    Conversion depends on need, headcount, and budget

Interview Process:
•    Onsite at HQ in St. Louis, MO. Will likely be one round with a panel. A 2nd round may be possible if the manager is trying to make a decision between two candidates.
