AI Enablement Director

Madhive is seeking an AI Enablement Director to drive internal transformation by weaving AI into the fabric of how our teams work. This is a builder-operator role designed to lift the work our people do by shifting focus from manual drudgery to high-leverage strategic output. You will listen to functional needs, build load-bearing V1 automations, and partner with leaders to drive lasting adoption and measurable productivity gains across teams.

This is a hybrid role, working 3 days a week at Madhive HQ in the Financial District of New York City.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and ship AI-enabled workflows and cross-cutting tools for technical and non-technical teams.
• Establish fluency standards and practical benchmarks for AI usage, productivity, and organizational impact.
• Lead employee AI training and adoption programs in close partnership with the People and L&D teams.
• Develop a portfolio of internal load-bearing applications and AI integrations, transitioning successful solutions to functional owners for long-term operations.
• Serve as a change agent, leading adoption by visibly using tools and winning over stakeholders through measurable gains.
• Run discovery with functional leaders and define measurable success criteria for each workflow before building.
• Integrate automations with the systems teams already work in — CRM, ticketing, and workflow tools such as Salesforce, Jira, or equivalents — resolving data-readiness and permissions blockers so solutions are production-ready, not experimental.
• Drive adoption in: build trust, reduce friction, and ensure shipped solutions are actively used, with human review queues and audit trails where outputs need oversight.

What You’ll Bring

• Technical Craft: 8-12 years of experience blending hands-on building with driving tool adoption. You are technical enough to prototype workflows and wire up agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor).
• Change Leadership: A proven track record of driving adoption of new ways of working across diverse teams with documented evidence of impact.
• Collaboration: Low-ego and highly collaborative; able to sit with function leaders to translate real business needs into load-bearing solutions.
• Mindset: Grit in ambiguity and a rigorous approach to measurement. You frame work as elevation and capacity building, never headcount reduction.
• Production Judgment: You ship to a reliability, latency, and observability bar appropriate for daily business use, and operate with high agency under ambiguity — scoping work, sequencing delivery, and removing blockers independently.

How We Measure Success

• Workflow Multiplier (North Star): Measurable increase in workload-per-person on targeted workflows. The goal is to automate entire workflows so a team handles materially more volume — deals, tickets, analyses, reports — without added headcount, not to shave minutes off discrete tasks.
• Efficiency Gains: Tangible reduction in time-to-produce and manual people-hours per outcome across teams.
• Employee Morale: Qualitative and quantitative shifts in sentiment as employees move out of drudgery into more strategic, energizing work.

Location / Work Model

Hybrid, NYC – 3 days in office, with travel to other Madhive locations as needed.

The approximate compensation range for this position is $200,000-$225,000. The actual offer, reflecting the total compensation package and benefits, will be determined by a number of factors, including the applicant’s experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity among our team.
