About the Role

Janus Henderson is seeking a Head of AI Academy to lead the next phase of its AI transformation program. This leadership role focuses on upskilling and cultural change, evolving the AI Academy from broad enablement to role-based capability and advanced tool proficiency.

Responsibilities

Own and evolve the AI Academy strategy and operating model, ensuring it remains tool-agnostic and aligned with the firm's ambitions.
Evolve the operating model to combine decentralized business ownership, local capability, embedded delivery, and central pathways, standards, advanced training, and community.
Shift the program from broad access to depth of use, focusing on role-based capability, repeatable workflows, and stronger guardrails.
Set the roadmap for Tier 2 and Tier 3 advanced proficiency pathways.
Own and continuously improve the three-tier proficiency journey and its underlying learning.
Direct the core curriculum, including AI 101 and Copilot 101, and relaunch the advanced program for power users.
Build advanced, role-specific content to address training gaps in areas like prompting craft, Copilot Studio, agent design, Excel and productivity depth, and hallucination and governance guardrails.
Lead and grow the Air Traffic Controller (ATC) network (departmental AI leads) and Fighter Pilot cohorts, implementing a train-the-trainer model.
Set standards, protected-time expectations, and ways of working for the networks, securing line-manager accountability.
Coach, develop, and recognize champions, fostering community and peer learning.
Own the AI Academy platform, including the homepage, Use Case Library, and Prompt Library, driving contribution, curation, and reuse.
Consolidate AI training material into a single channel and brand.
Manage the communications cadence, including the AI newsletter and innovation community feed, to improve relevance, engagement, and discoverability.
Own the adoption dashboard and the Academy's contribution to the ExCo scorecard, evolving metrics towards proficiency and depth of engagement.
Run structured user research to map demand, pain points, and training needs, prioritizing the roadmap based on evidence.
Report progress, risks, and decisions into the firm's AI transformation governance.
Embed Responsible AI principles across all Academy content and pathways.
Partner with AI Governance, Technology, Security, Risk, and Compliance to ensure adherence to data privacy, security, and responsible AI posture.
Position the Academy as the adoption layer for new enterprise tools and agents, leading the associated change management.
Lead the central Academy team and specialist contributors, setting direction, standards, and a high bar for quality.
Chair the Academy governance forum and monthly ATC catch-ups.
Represent the Academy in the firm's AI transformation leadership forums.
Carry out other duties as assigned.

Hands-on familiarity with Microsoft Copilot and the M365 ecosystem, Copilot Studio, and adjacent tooling, with an appetite to evaluate and deploy new tools.
Demonstrated experience designing and running training, curriculum, or capability-building programs at scale.
