  • Develop practical adoption strategies that drive consistent, confident use
  • Design and deliver targeted, role-specific learning and practical resources
  • Develop clear, practical communications that translate AI initiatives into accessible, relevant narratives tied to impact

  • Experience designing and delivering training or capacity-building initiatives
  • Strong data orientation, including the ability to use data to inform decisions and track impact
  • Excellent interpersonal skills and track record of building networks to support adoption
