About the Role The AI Deployment Manager (ADM) - Pilots is a customer-facing role responsible for leading structured, time-bound enterprise AI pilots from initial scoping through final executive readout.

You will design and lead pilot engagements that drive activation, sustained usage, and measurable impact across ChatGPT Enterprise, Codex, and adjacent workflows. This includes partnering with customer stakeholders to define success criteria, guiding users from experimentation to real adoption, and translating pilot outcomes into clear recommendations that support expansion or purchase decisions.
