Vice President, AI+You

Title: VP, AI You

Level: Vice President

Group: Weber I/O

Reports to: EVP, I/O

It’s not just about the code — it’s about the culture.

This mantra is at the heart of Weber I/O, the industry-first unit fusing analytics, data science, performance media, experiential tech and AI advisory to power client advantage.

And it’s the grounding behind AI You, a learning and activation program to accelerate AI fluency across the agency. AI You is how we’re rewiring our daily rituals, turning emerging tech into instinctive, next-gen workflows that supercharge our work.

Game to join our crew, to amplify and advance the momentum we’ve got cooking with AI You programming? Keep reading.

What You’ll Do

• Chart and evolve the learning activation roadmap. Plan and deliver rich, multi-dimensional AI education and inspiration programming for North America staff. Think less traditional L&D/classroom vibe, more engaging/backstage pass feel.
• Design practical curriculum and content. Collaborate with subject-matter experts to co-create program components that help individuals/teams move quickly from curiosity to confidence. Includes producing live training sessions, deconstructing best practice work, instigating Teams discussions, coordinating virtual office hours and beyond. (New form factors welcome!)
• Roll-out sessions and rally engagement. Draft internal comms, liaise with I/O colleagues and communications team to announce programming, drive attendance/participation. Monitor engagement, sentiment and impact so we can scale what sticks, sunset what doesn’t.
• Keep Halo at the core. Ensure our new and improved secure AI workspace, Halo, is known as the safest—and easiest — place for colleagues to employ AI to elevate their work. Curate top use-cases, gather user feedback, share insights to inform fast-moving and longer-term roadmap and employee learning programs
• Flex and pivot at the speed of tech. Monitor new platforms, tools and workflows to contribute to discussions about the applications and implications of AI on our work.
• Support I/O strategic initiatives (≈20%). Jump into other I/O priorities including new service pilots, market visibility programs and innovation sprints when extra lift is needed.
  
  

You’ll thrive here if you

• Are immersed in emerging tech—its possibilities and implications—and can explain it in plain English.
• Believe that utilizing secure, responsible AI is a competitive edge—and have ideas for proving it daily.
• Think “application” before “theory,” transforming complex tools and workflows into how-to’s that colleagues can tailor to a range of tasks/deliverables
• Flex from big-room storytelling to nuts-and-bolts project plans without losing momentum (or sense of humor!)
• Treat change as your natural habitat, pivoting with curiosity and discipline as new platforms, ways of working and priorities emerge
  
  

Must-have chops

• 8-10 years leading innovation, employee engagement, learning or change-management programs—ideally in communications, marketing or a tech-forward environment.
• Hands-on familiarity with Gen AI platforms and a clear POV on responsible use.
• Demonstrated success building integrated content ecosystems that boost engagement and adoption (i.e. immersive workshops, live and virtual trainings, office hours, demos, community channels, etc.)
• Credibility to partner with senior leaders and entry-level AI natives alike, and excitement to collaborate with and inspire doers at every level.
• Fluency in measurement and storytelling with data, turning insights into action.
• Bonus: experience introducing proprietary tech platforms at scale.
  
  

Our team is future-leaning but grounded, legit curious and pragmatic. We celebrate makers and breakers. We ask hard questions, listen to everyone’s POV, make calls and move fast. And we love digging into nascent platforms and figuring out how best to put them to work. If that feels like your energy, let’s talk about shaping the next chapter of AI You.
