You’ll create differentiated learning experiences for technical teams, non-technical employees, operational functions, and executive leadership.

You’ll also serve as a strategic advisor to functional leaders navigating how AI will transform their organizations over time.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys building from zero-to-one, and can bridge deep technical AI insight with applicable business transformation.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and build Ridgeline’s enterprise AI learning and enablement strategy
  • Develop scalable AI learning programs across multiple employee audiences and skill levels
  • Create learning tracks for technical, operational, business, G&A, and executive teams
  • Facilitate workshops, training sessions, and executive enablement programs
  • Partner with functional leaders to define how AI will reshape their organizations and workflows
  • Build frameworks and accountability systems that drive measurable AI adoption
  • Translate emerging AI capabilities into accessible, actionable learning content
  • Collaborate closely with IT, security engineering, and AI systems teams to stay aligned on tooling and roadmap evolution
  • Develop scalable operating models for AI upskilling and workforce transformation
  • Help shape the long-term future of AI adoption and organizational capability at Ridgeline

What You’ll Need

Must Haves

  • Experience leading AI enablement, AI adoption, or workforce transformation initiatives
  • Learning & Development (L&D) program design and delivery experience
  • Robust program management and organizational leadership capabilities
  • Experience operating proficiently in highly ambiguous environments
  • Sophisticated hands-on knowledge with modern AI tools and workflows
  • Ability to simplify complex technical concepts for non-technical audiences
  • Deep communication and executive presence

Nice to Haves

  • Engineering background or strong technical proximity to engineering organizations
  • Experience building technical learning content
  • Experience leading enterprise-wide organizational change initiatives
  • Multi-functional career experience across business, operations, technology, or strategy
  • Executive facilitation or coaching experience
  • Experience designing scalable learning systems within fast-moving technology environments

What Success Looks Like

In your first several months, you’ll establish the foundation of Ridgeline’s enterprise AI enablement strategy and launch structured learning programs across multiple organizational audiences.

Over time, success in this role means:

  • Employees across the company measurably improve AI fluency and useful adoption
  • Functional leaders actively advance AI transformation initiatives within their teams
  • Ridgeline develops scalable systems for ongoing workforce upskilling
  • AI learning evolves from ad hoc experimentation into an integrated organizational capability
