Role Description This position will be based remotely in the United States. The Manager, AI Adoption, Global leads Vantage’s enterprise behavioral-change engine, the team most directly responsible for turning AI capability into capability-in-use across the organization. The best AI capability in the world delivers nothing if people do not use it. Reporting to the Head of Artificial Intelligence, this role owns the Adoption pillar of the AI organization and leads a team of three accountable for building enterprise-wide AI fluency and demand through education, a Champions network, and programmatic rollout. Adoption is defined by its modality: one-to-many, programmatic, and repeatable. It scales by systematizing, building rails that work for hundreds and then thousands of users, rather than by embedding individuals into single functions. This distinguishes Adoption from the Navigators team, which scales one-to-few; together they cover the full demand surface of broad fluency and deep delivery. Sustainable adoption is never mandated; it is chosen, because people see value, and this leader’s job is to make that value visible, accessible, and habitual at enterprise scale. The flagship of this work is enterprise Copilot and internally developed tooling enablement, the one-to-many program that converts thousands of Microsoft 365 licenses into sustained daily habit. As the AI landscape evolves and agents begin to act on people’s behalf, the role’s mandate will gradually extend from teaching tool fluency toward helping people delegate, supervise, and trust AI, and the successful candidate should be energized by leading that shift. Essential Job Functions Lead, coach, and develop the AI Adoption team, setting strategy, priorities, and success metrics for the enterprise adoption engine. Own the enterprise AI education program, including AI Foundations, Responsible AI Governance training, and role-based curricula delivered through the LMS. Run certification rails that make governance understood and chosen across the enterprise. Execute structured enterprise rollouts using a cohort-based, 30-day activation-sprint model. Own the flagship enterprise Copilot enablement program, converting Microsoft 365 licenses into sustained daily habit. Build and run the distributed Champions Collective, bringing peer-level support and advocacy into every function and cohort. Curate always-available, scaled self-service enablement, guides, prompts, playbooks, on-demand learning, and in-flow support. Track activation, certification, and sustained-usage metrics, and route the signals surfaced to the Navigators team. Partner with the Accelerators team to drive rollout, training, and sustained usage of every enterprise-grade solution. Duties Set and manage the operating rhythm of the Adoption team, including planning, prioritization, and reporting of adoption outcomes to senior leadership. Design and continuously improve cohort-based activation sprints. Recruit, enable, and recognize Champions, sustaining an engaged peer network. Define and maintain the adoption metrics framework. Collaborate with the Platforms team to align enablement with platform capabilities. Translate responsible AI principles and governance policy into accessible learning. Maintain awareness of evolving AI capabilities. Communicate the value of AI adoption across the enterprise. Handle additional duties as assigned by Management. Requirements Minimum 7-10 years of overall work experience, with 4+ years in change management, learning and development, employee enablement, or technology adoption within a large or global enterprise. Demonstrated people-leadership experience, including direct management, coaching, and development of a team responsible for program delivery. Proven track record designing and running enterprise-scale enablement, training, or adoption programs. Direct experience driving adoption of Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Copilot, or comparable enterprise SaaS platforms. Strong command of one-to-many, programmatic operating models. Practical fluency in generative AI capabilities, limitations, and responsible-use principles. Experience defining and tracking adoption metrics. Exceptional communication and influencing skills. Familiarity with enablement tooling such as ServiceNow, learning management systems, and in-flow guidance platforms. Comfort with ambiguity and a forward-looking mindset. Travel required is expected to be 15-25% for Champions engagement, enablement delivery, and stakeholder relationship building.
