AI Enablement Lead

Remote

1 big thing: Axios is a growth-focused media company dedicated to helping people get smarter, faster on what matters. As we expand how we build and scale technology, this role helps ensure our teams can effectively adopt and apply new tools.

The AI Enablement Lead serves as a connective partner across the organization, helping departments translate ideas into actionable AI-supported workflows. This role emphasizes partnership, guidance, and accessibility. It supports teams in understanding the problems they are trying to solve, identifying where AI can help, and navigating a clear path from concept to execution.

Why it matters: As the company’s first dedicated AI Enablement Lead, you will act as the central point of contact for AI across Axios. You will be the face of AI within the organization, building trust, providing clarity, and creating approachable pathways for teams to engage with AI in their work. You will translate complex technical concepts into clear, practical guidance, helping teams understand when and how to use AI to improve productivity while upholding responsible usage standards.

Rather than defining AI strategy for teams, you will partner with departments to help them achieve their own goals. You will provide guidance, structured support, and targeted learning where needed. You will also drive consistent communication around AI efforts, ensuring teams understand what is possible, what is working, and how to move forward.

Go deeper: While this role sits within the Product, Design, and Technology department, you will partner closely with Talent Management and HR to align AI enablement with broader competency frameworks, career development goals, and employee learning strategies. This ensures that support is not one-off, but contributes to long-term capability building across the organization.

This role bridges technology and business needs. It focuses on helping teams make meaningful progress, not just increasing awareness.

  • Offer ad hoc guidance to individuals and teams working through specific challenges or ideas
  • Create an approachable environment where employees feel comfortable asking questions and exploring possibilities

Targeted Training & Enablement

  • Deliver focused, practical training sessions based on real team needs and use cases
  • Provide learning opportunities such as workshops, demos, and guided working sessions
  • Support teams in applying AI tools directly to their workflows rather than teaching abstract concepts
  • Partner with Talent Management and HR to align learning efforts with broader development frameworks

Communication & Visibility

  • Own and drive clear, consistent communication about AI across the organization
  • Share updates, success stories, and examples of how teams are using AI effectively
  • Help demystify AI by translating complex concepts into accessible, practical language
  • Establish yourself as the recognizable and approachable face of AI at Axios

Responsible Use & Best Practices

  • Promote thoughtful, responsible use of AI tools across teams
  • Provide guidance on appropriate use cases, limitations, and risks
  • Develop and share lightweight best practices that teams can easily adopt
  • Ensure teams are equipped to use AI safely while still moving quickly

Documentation & Knowledge Sharing

  • Maintain simple, actionable resources that support teams as they implement AI
  • Capture and share repeatable patterns, playbooks, and examples from across departments
  • Reduce duplication by helping teams learn from each other’s approaches and outcomes

Organizational Collaboration

  • Partner with leaders and managers to understand team goals and where AI can support them
  • Help identify gaps in understanding, tooling, or workflow design that may block progress
  • Align support efforts with department-level priorities rather than introducing standalone initiatives

 

Skills:

  • Strong curiosity about emerging AI technologies and a desire to continuously learn
  • Strong communication skills. Able to translate technical concepts into accessible guidance
  • Practical understanding of AI tools and how they apply to real-world workflows
  • Ability to break down ambiguous problems and guide teams toward clear solutions
  • Experience facilitating discussions, workshops, or advisory sessions with cross-functional teams
  • Comfort operating as a visible, approachable point of contact across an organization

What success looks like:

  • Teams across Axios view this role as a trusted partner for AI-related problem solving
  • Departments are able to move from ideas to execution with clear support and guidance
  • Office hours and advisory support are actively used and valued across the organization
  • AI adoption grows through practical, team-driven use cases rather than top-down mandates
  • Communication around AI is clear, consistent, and widely understood
  • Teams feel confident experimenting with AI and applying it to their work responsibly
  • Knowledge and successful approaches are shared across departments, accelerating progress overall

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
