This is a high-impact, cross-functional role that sits at the intersection of technology, education, and operations. You will serve as the primary champion for AI literacy and capability-building at SA, partnering with teams throughout the network to identify opportunities, launch AI-powered projects, and upskill staff to work confidently with emerging tools. We are building toward becoming the first AI-native K–12 enterprise in the country, transforming every workflow, from classroom content to legal contracts to college counseling, into an AI-first process. The person in this role will be at the center of that transformation.

• Build a community of AI champions within SA's departments, fostering a culture of experimentation and continuous learning.
• Stay current on the latest AI developments and translate them into actionable opportunities for the organization.

AI Project Deployment

• Partner with department leaders to identify, scope, and prioritize AI integration opportunities across academic, operational, and administrative functions.
• Own end-to-end project management for AI deployments — from requirements gathering and vendor evaluation through implementation, testing, and rollout.
• Manage relationships with AI tool vendors and external partners, ensuring deliverables meet SA's quality and compliance standards.
• Define success metrics for each AI initiative and track outcomes, sharing learnings with senior leadership on a regular cadence.
• Collaborate with IT, data, legal, and compliance teams to ensure responsible, secure, and equitable AI adoption.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in project management, technology implementation, AI engineering, or a related field.
• 3-4 years of direct people management experience.
• Demonstrated fluency with modern AI tools and platforms, with hands-on experience using Claude (Anthropic) and OpenAI products in a professional setting.
• Proven track record of managing complex, cross-functional projects from inception through successful delivery.
• Strong communication and facilitation skills — able to translate technical concepts for diverse audiences and inspire confidence in AI adoption.
• Comfort working in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where priorities evolve, and creative problem-solving is essential.
• Must be based in New York City and available to work in the office on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday each week.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with agentic AI frameworks and comfort building or overseeing agent workflows.
• Experience with rapid app development platforms such as Lovable, Replit, or similar AI-assisted build tools.
