Reporting to the Senior Manager, Knowledge Management Innovation, this position will serve as a firmwide subject matter expert on AI, actively monitoring and regularly reporting on relevant developments in the technological and competitive marketplace. This collaborative contributor will have a heavy emphasis on user enablement, adoption, and ongoing engagement, championing a culture of Knowledge Management and innovation in alignment with the department's mission and vision.

## Responsibilities

Strategic AI Initiatives: Conduct ongoing research to identify and prioritize user and business needs and pain points that could be addressed through AI-centric solutions. Consult with attorneys, Practice Teams, Client Services Teams, and other groups to identify areas where AI can improve quality, consistency, and efficiency.

Conduct ongoing research on the impact of AI solutions at the individual, team, and firm level, with an emphasis on quality, consistency, and efficiency.

User Enablement & Change Management: Work with attorneys, Practice Teams, Client Services Teams, and other groups to identify use cases and create prompts and/or workflows, as appropriate. Curate and maintain a library of crowdsourced prompts and workflows. Develop and maintain user-friendly resources such as prompt libraries, quick-start guides, feature sheets, FAQs, and micro-learning video tutorials. Plan and conduct interactive product awareness and user enablement events, including lunch-and-learn sessions, town hall-style product introductions, and hackathons. Partner with Knowledge Management colleagues and other stakeholders to align change and enablement activities with broader product lifecycle management. Draft and distribute communications about new features, updates, and adoption tips.

User Adoption & Feedback: Champion adoption of approved AI and practice tools by engaging directly with lawyers and staff. Track usage and adoption data; prepare and maintain reporting materials to highlight successes and identify areas for improvement. Collect and synthesize user feedback, escalating issues and improvement opportunities to the Knowledge Management leadership team.

KM&I Promotion: Through presentations, training sessions/webinars, and other means, actively promote a culture of Knowledge Management and innovation, awareness and adoption of KM solutions, and KM best practices throughout the firm, in alignment with the department's Mission and Vision.

Trusted Partner: Serve as a trusted knowledge partner to firm attorneys, employees, and clients, providing guidance and support on AI-related initiatives and best practices.

Collaboration: Collaborate with cross-functional department leaders and KM colleagues to develop and deliver user-centric solutions that improve attorney, legal support, and business services experiences.
