Join Ensign-Bickford Industries, Inc. (EBI) and you'll be part of a team that leads science, innovation, and technology on different industry fronts. Working here will provide you with an exciting and motivating career full of development and growth opportunities throughout our businesses. We are a global company that prides itself on having passionate, diverse and dedicated employees who work together to achieve uncommon results.

Job Description

We are seeking a Director, AI Enablement to lead the adoption and application of AI across our enterprise. This role is focused on using tools like ChatGPT Enterprise and Microsoft Copilot to execute high-impact use cases; solving real business problems and improving how work gets done across EBI.

This is not a deeply technical role; we are looking for a strong business leader with a passion for applied technology. The ideal candidate brings curiosity about AI tools and the ability to translate that curiosity into practical solutions, driving meaningful impact across the organization.

This is a high-visibility, "build-from-zero" role with direct exposure to executive leadership and the opportunity to drive meaningful business impact while scaling AI capabilities across the organization.

Responsibilities

• Identify and prioritize high-impact AI use cases across the business
• Deploy practical AI solutions using tools such as ChatGPT Enterprise, Microsoft Copilot, and enterprise platforms
• Partner with business leaders to redesign workflows and embed AI into day-to-day operations
• Drive adoption through enablement, training, and change management
• Develop playbooks and repeatable approaches to scale successful solutions
• Establish governance and best practices for effective AI usage
• Measure and communicate business impact (e.g., productivity, cycle time, quality improvements)

Requirements

• Proven track record of driving cross-functional initiatives and delivering measurable business impact
• Strong ability to translate business problems into practical, scalable solutions using a structured, process-oriented approach
• Demonstrated success leading change and influencing stakeholders across functions and levels, including senior leadership
• Hands-on experience applying AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot, or similar) to real business workflows—not just theoretical use
• Ability to move quickly from idea to execution, test and iterate, and scale what works
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build alignment and followership
• Self-starter mindset with high ownership; comfortable operating in ambiguity and building from scratch

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in consulting, strategy, operations, or digital/technology transformation roles
• Exposure to enterprise platforms (e.g., Microsoft 365, Workday, ERP systems)
• Experience leading enterprise-wide initiatives or standing up new capabilities

The expected salary range for this position is $150,000-$175,000, plus eligibility for an annual incentive bonus. Actual compensation may vary based on factors such as experience, skills, qualifications, and location. We are committed to offering competitive compensation and may adjust within or outside of this range as appropriate.
