The AI Transformation team, part of the broader Strategy department, leads the company's AI agenda from ambition setting through blueprinting (designing AI-enabled workflows) and execution. The team partners with the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) to define AI priorities and works closely with IT and business functions to deliver against the strategy.

It also monitors the evolving AI landscape, translating emerging trends into actionable opportunities in collaboration with relevant business units. The team is deliberately small and senior, works directly with the ELT on questions at the top of the company’s agenda, and owns outcomes end to end.

The role offers the chance to help shape the AI transformation of one of the largest renewable energy developers in the US, with paths to grow within Strategy and across the wider organization.

Role Responsibilities

Contribute directly to the AI Transformation, one of the ELT’s top strategic priorities, at a point when AI is reshaping the energy industry — breaking down open-ended questions, building the supporting analysis, and turning it into recommendations that program and business leaders act on

Drive enterprise AI adoption, including the set of initiatives that embed AI tools into everyday knowledge work in each department. Includes designing, running, and evaluating AI pilots, defining success criteria and user personas, and translating results into go/no-go recommendations for program leadership

Partner with departments and departmental champions to develop department-specific standalone AI use cases, plug-ins, and skills (e.g., Legal, Controlling, Investment & Valuation, Engineering, Operations, etc), including owning requirements gathering, configuration, testing, and iteration in collaboration with technical teams and end users

Equip departmental champions with practical materials, playbooks, and department adoption plans to reinforce and role model AI tool use in their teams, driving sustained adoption of AI enabled ways of working

Capture and act on adoption and usage feedback from office-work users, surfacing high-value use cases, friction points, and tool requests, feeding them into continuous improvement of department tools and enablement content, and partnering with IT to prioritize requests through the demand intake process based on value, feasibility, and data readiness

Own discrete workstreams within the AI-enabled workflow re-design (“blueprinting”) and program management efforts led by other AI Transformation colleagues, including workflow re-design execution, workshop facilitation, and use-case funnel prioritization, enterprise change management, and portfolio analytics and KPI tracking

Job Requirements and Experience

Bachelor’s degree in business, STEM, or related field required.

Minimum

5 years of relevant professional experience in management consulting and/or comparable technology adoption and enablement, digital transformation, or product/tools roles in industry, with a strong preference for candidates from top-tier strategy or management consulting firms. Demonstrated experience driving end-user adoption of new technology across cross-functional teams, ideally with an AI or digital focus. Where relevant, advanced education in a related field may count toward part of the experience requirement.

• Excellent problem-solving skills, analytical capabilities, and business acumen — able to structure ambiguous problems into a hypothesis-driven workplan and drive to a defensible answer with imperfect data
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to create clear enablement and user-facing materials and to present and defend recommendations to senior stakeholders
• Hands-on proficiency with generative AI tools (e.g., Claude, LLM chat interfaces, Cowork), including practical experience building and configuring reusable prompts, skills, plug-ins, or lightweight AI tools to improve everyday workflows
• Strong technology-adoption and enablement capability, translating new functionality into practical, department-specific solutions that improve existing workflows, and judging what guidance each audience needs to make new tools genuinely usable
• Ability to design and run technology pilots, defining success criteria, gathering usage feedback, and converting results into practical scaling recommendations
• Working knowledge of AI concepts, generative AI, and digital product development sufficient to engage credibly with technical teams and departmental users and to contextualize business requirements
• Understanding of power, utilities, and renewables (e.g., renewable project development), sufficient to contextualize AI use cases and connect priorities to operational realities
• Effective cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder management, partnering with departmental champions, Communications, and IT to drive alignment and adoption without formal authority
• Solid project management discipline, managing own workstreams with minimal oversight and ensuring execution rigor across phases
• Motivated self-starter with strong ownership, follow-through, and high standards balanced with pragmatism; productively challenges the status quo and drives progress across multiple concurrent workstreams in ambiguous environments
• Proficiency in standard productivity tools (e.g., Excel, Word, PowerPoint) and collaboration and enablement platforms (e.g., SharePoint, MS Teams, Miro, or equivalent)
• Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States. RWE Americas is unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of employment visas at this time.
