About the role

The AI Enablement Partner is one of the most forward-looking — and most novel — roles at Athennian. It isn't a traditional IT, operations or even People function. It sits at the intersection of all three.

Reporting to the Senior Director of People, this role exists to close the gap between human cognition and synthetic cognition — diagnosing where AI can take on cognitive load, building the agents and automations that make it happen, and coaching the people who use them. You'll work cross-functionally across the organization serving as the go-to partner to help teams move faster, automate smarter, or understand where AI can genuinely help.

If you're passionately curious about AI, energized by ambiguous problems, able to explain complex automations with patience and clarity, and have a demonstrated history of building things — agents, workflows, integrations — this role was written for you.

What you'll do

Agent Development & Automation Building

• Design, build, and deploy AI agents and automated workflows across business functions, integrating tools and systems to reduce manual cognitive load and accelerate output.
• Identify opportunities to connect platforms — from CRMs and project management tools to communication stacks — and build automations that make them work together intelligently.
• Maintain and iterate on a living library of prompts, agents, and workflow templates that teams can self-serve and adapt.
• Partner with the Head of Privacy and Information Security and Senior Engineering Manager, DevOps & Infrastructure to ensure AI tools, agents, and integrations are deployed safely — maintaining visibility into what's enabled across the organization, assessing new tools for risk before adoption, and ensuring the pace of AI enablement never outstrips our ability to manage the exposure it creates.

Cross-Functional Partnership & Support

• Serve as an embedded AI resource across departments — partnering with teams to understand their workflows, surface high-impact automation opportunities, and help implement solutions.
• Manage an internal AI support queue, triaging and resolving requests from team members seeking guidance, tool recommendations, or hands-on help with AI-related challenges.
• Build trusted relationships across the organization by showing up as a patient, approachable, and genuinely helpful partner — not just a technical resource, but a thinking partner.

Training, Development & AI Culture

• Design and deliver practical, role-based AI training that helps team members develop real proficiency — not just awareness — with the tools and patterns most relevant to their work.
• Co-facilitate task audits, micro-sprints, and design sessions with department teams, helping them map where AI fits into their workflows using our six AI application patterns framework.
• Support the development of AI competency frameworks and career path integration alongside the People Team.
• Champion psychological safety around AI adoption — addressing automation anxiety with empathy, building confidence, and helping people see AI as an amplifier of their capabilities, not a threat.

Market Intelligence & Research

• Stay at the leading edge of the AI landscape — tracking product releases, model updates, emerging tools, and research across platforms including Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and beyond.
• Synthesize and share relevant developments with the organization in accessible, actionable formats — not just awareness, but clear recommendations on what we should be paying attention to and why.
• Evaluate new tools, platforms, and integrations for organizational fit and make evidence-based recommendations to leadership.

AI Adoption Strategy Execution

• Play a key operational role in executing our AI Adoption Transformation roadmap — contributing to monthly showcase preparation, champion network activation, and cross-platform usage tracking.
• Maintain and update internal tool guidance documentation, ensuring every employee knows what’s available, when to use it, and how to get started.
• Track and report on adoption metrics, project outcomes, and time savings — building the evidence base that connects AI investment to measurable organizational impact.

Qualifications

• Technical Stack Fluency: You have the technical depth to independently host, connect, and manage AI agents within an existing tech stack — without relying on an engineer. Comfortable with APIs, webhooks, and the infrastructure decisions that come with deploying agents in production. Hands-on experience across tools like Google Workspace, Slack, HubSpot, and Zapier. 
• Platform Fluency: Deep familiarity with the current AI platform landscape: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and emerging tools. You understand their respective strengths, limitations, and best-fit use cases — and you form opinions.
• Integration Experience: Experience connecting tools and systems — APIs, no-code/low-code platforms, automation frameworks — to build practical, production-ready workflows across business functions.
• Curiosity & Learning Orientation: A genuine curiosity about how things work — not just AI, but the people and roles across the business. You take time to understand what someone actually does before recommending how AI can help them. You ask good questions, listen well, and learn quickly.
• Analytical Mindset: A natural and structured approach to problem-solving. You dig deep, work autonomously, and move quickly from diagnosis to solution — especially when the problem is new or doesn’t have a clear playbook.
• Trusted Communicator: Genuine interpersonal warmth and communication skill. You can sit with someone who is anxious about AI and help them feel capable and confident. You can explain a complex workflow to a non-technical executive without losing them.
• Enablement Instinct: Experience in training, enablement, change management, or adult learning — formal or informal. You know how to help people actually adopt new behaviors, not just understand new concepts.
• Startup Orientation: Comfort operating in ambiguity. This is an evolving role in a fast-moving space — you bring structure to uncertainty rather than waiting for it to be resolved for you.

Nice to Have: Familiarity with SaaS, legal tech, compliance, or knowledge-work environments is an asset. Understanding the problems our customers and our teams face makes you more effective from day one.
