AI Strategy & Enablement Lead

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for an AI Strategy & Enablement Lead in South Africa.

This role sits at the core of enterprise-wide AI transformation, shaping how artificial intelligence is embedded into day-to-day operations, decision-making, and productivity across teams. You will act as a strategic connector between leadership and execution, identifying high-impact opportunities where AI can meaningfully improve workflows and business outcomes. Working closely with functional leaders, you will define priorities, drive adoption, and ensure accountability for measurable results. The environment is fast-moving, highly cross-functional, and deeply focused on practical AI application rather than experimentation for its own sake. You will also build internal capability by enabling teams to design and scale their own AI workflows. This is a high-impact role where strategic thinking, execution rigor, and change leadership converge.

• Lead AI enablement initiatives across the organization by identifying and scaling high-value use cases across functions

• Build scalable AI literacy programs, including training, onboarding materials, prompt libraries, and reusable workflows
• Drive adoption and optimization of existing AI tools, ensuring maximum value from current technology investments

• Track AI industry developments and recommend what to adopt, pilot, or deprioritize based on business relevance
• Measure and report on AI impact through key metrics such as productivity gains, time savings, and business ROI
• Ensure responsible AI usage in collaboration with security, compliance, and leadership stakeholders
• Support cross-functional execution of AI initiatives and ensure sustained adoption through structured change management
