AI Adoption & Enablement Specialist

We are seeking an AI Adoption & Enablement Specialist to accelerate the integration of generative AI into our program. This is first and foremost a people-focused role. Success is measured by whether teammates are actually using AI to do their jobs better-not by the sophistication of the technology deployed.

The AI Adoption & Enablement Specialist will work directly with the Program Manager and delivery leads to discover, evaluate, and enable practical AI use cases across Data Management, Enterprise Architecture, Learning Experience Design, and Program Support teams. This role builds genuine enthusiasm for AI, helps individuals identify high-value applications in their own workflows, and translates what is possible in commercial AI into what is realistic and compliant within the DoD environment.

The ideal candidate combines hands-on experience with generative AI tools, a consultative mindset, and the communication skills to meet people where they are-from skeptics to enthusiasts-while understanding that the hardest part of AI adoption is human, not technical.

• Contribute to and co-deliver AI literacy training in partnership with the Deputy Program Manager
• Track and report adoption metrics that demonstrate meaningful changes in how work is performed

• Conduct go/no-go evaluations of AI use cases, including limitations, requirements, and cost-benefit considerations
• Evaluate and recommend appropriate LLM models and applications within DoD constraints
• Assess GenAI.mil and Ask Sage capabilities as platforms evolve
• Contribute to defining AI architectures and solution approaches such as RAG pipelines and document parsing workflows
• Document outcomes to build institutional knowledge and inform future task orders and proposals

Governance & Communication

• Develop program-level guidance for responsible AI use, including data handling and validation practices
• Ensure AI adoption aligns with DoD data strategy, security requirements, and compliance obligations
