AI Learning & Adoption Specialist (f/m/d)

Axpo Business Area Energy Markets is on an ambitious journey to embed artificial intelligence into the way we work, enabling our employees to get the most out of this powerful technology at scale. As our AI Learning & Adoption Specialist, you will be at the heart of that shift.

What you will do:

• Design AI learning programs: develop and improve a tailored data and AI upskilling curriculum for technical and non-technical users, diagnosing needs with GenAI Engineers, Business Analysts, and local teams, and translating AI concepts into practical guidance, including enterprise context management and responsible use.

• Support leaders and managers as a trusted sparring partner as they navigate the opportunities and implications of AI for their teams, helping them build AI-confident teams and embed new ways of working.

• Drive AI adoption by creating strategies to move employees along the AI maturity curve, from awareness to confident use of AI tools, removing barriers and fostering on-the-job application.

• Align with broader initiatives by partnering with DnA leadership and group-wide initiatives to integrate upskilling efforts with key programs (incl. modern DnA Platform and data governance), measuring learning and adoption effectiveness using KPIs and feedback.

• Engage the community by organising events, celebrating progress, and engaging our internal champions network to sustain momentum and scale adoption.

• Champion human skills in an AI-powered workplace, building capabilities such as critical thinking, sound judgement, effective communication, better prompting, challenging AI outputs, and navigating complexity with confidence.

What you bring & who you are:

Experience & background:

• University degree (BSc/MSc) in a relevant field (e.g., Learning Design, Change Management, UX, Data Science), or equivalent practical experience in a learning & development, organisational change, digital adoption, or change management role, ideally within a data, analytics, AI, or technology context.

• Additional certifications in change management, data & AI, or learning design/facilitation are an advantage.

• A track record of designing and delivering data and/or AI upskilling programmes to non-technical as well as technical users that have driven measurable behaviour change, not just course completions.

• Experience working with or within data and/or AI teams, and a genuine interest in how AI is reshaping work, and how to use it responsibly.

• Experience partnering with cross-functional (senior) leadership to diagnose adoption challenges and drive behaviour change at scale.

• Familiarity with the energy trading, commodities, or financial services sector is a strong plus, but not a requirement.

• Hands-on experience developing AI solutions is a plus, but not a requirement.

Skills & capabilities:

• Strong instructional design and facilitation skills, making learning engaging, practical, and sticky (incl. hosting workshops).

• Excellent communication and storytelling ability across audiences. You can translate technical concepts for non-technical audiences without losing the substance.

• Comfort using data to diagnose adoption gaps and demonstrate impact.

• Strong stakeholder management skills, building trust across hierarchies and functions, and influencing without formal authority.

• Collaborative, resilient, and skilled at creating momentum.

• Fluent in English (ideally C1); additional language skills are an advantage, especially Spanish, German, or Italian.

• Willingness to travel occasionally to our Hubs for workshops, trainings, and AI enablement.

Mindset:

• You acknowledge that data and AI transformation is fundamentally a cultural challenge, not a technology one.

• You're curious about AI and actively keep pace with its evolving landscape (technical depth not a requirement, but literacy is essential).

• You thrive on continuous learning and bring others along with you.

• You lead with empathy and understand that change can sometimes feel uncomfortable, even when necessary.

Even if you don't meet all the requirements, we look forward to your application.

What we offer:

• A high-impact role at the intersection of AI, learning, and organisational change, with real scope to shape the agenda.

• A collaborative and intellectually stimulating environment within Axpo's Data & Analytics function.

• Flexibility and autonomy, with a hybrid working model based in London.

About the team:

The AI Learning & Adoption Specialist reports to the Adoption Manager for Data & Analytics under the CDAO, supporting Axpo's Agentic AI Program. You will collaborate with the DnA team, AI Enablement Partners, and Learning & Development to reach employees across the organisation.
