• Train and support marketing operations and demand generation teams in using AI tools effectively and responsibly; deliver enablement programs on new capabilities.
• Evaluate Copilot and Claude for different use cases; understand their relative strengths and limitations; recommend which platform is best suited for specific automation tasks.
• Partner with marketing leadership, sales operations, and cross functional stakeholders to gather requirements and translate business needs into technical solutions; communicate across technical and non-technical audiences.
