AI Enablement Lead

About the role

Most companies are experimenting with AI. We want to accelerate it, with an exceptional person (that's you) who gets in the room, understands the real problems to solve, and builds something that actually works. This is a role for someone who is wired differently. You're an operator first - you've shipped things, run things, solved hard problems in fast-moving environments. But you're also deeply fluent in AI: you know what's possible, you know what's hype, and you know how to close the gap between the two. You don't just advise. You build, demonstrate, and you bring people with you - building capabilities in others along the way. At Auror, you'll be embedded across the organisation - working directly where the work happens - Product, Marketing, Finance, People Experience, Customer Success, Revenue and more. You'll identify where AI can create the most leverage, design the solution, build it, and make sure it sticks - measuring outcomes and continuously improving the solutions you build. Auror takes its responsibility seriously - to our customers, our partners, and the communities we serve. That means AI at Auror isn't just about speed or efficiency. It's about using these tools in ways that are transparent, fair, and worthy of the trust people place in us. You'll be the person who holds that line. Not as a blocker, but as a steward - helping Auror move fast and move right, and making sure our AI practices reflect who we are as a company. If you're excited by the idea of genuinely shaping how a fast-growing, mission-driven company works at its core - and you want to have a positive impact on every team and individual - this is your role. Practically, this will involve: Partnering with leaders across every department to identify high-impact AI opportunities - prioritising ruthlessly and moving fast. Building and deploying AI-powered workflows, tools, and automations that tangibly improve how Aurors work - not proof of concepts, real solutions that get adopted. Leading by example: you are the most active AI practitioner at Auror. Others learn by watching you work. Partnering with Information Security to ensure we are aligning to Auror's responsible AI framework and our use of AI is ethical, transparent, and consistent with our principles and obligations internally and externally. Building AI capability across Auror - running enablement sessions that are tailored to the teams, creating practical playbooks, and upskilling teams so the knowledge spreads beyond you. Owning Auror's Internal AI Adoption strategy in partnership with the CPXO - setting direction, tracking impact, and iterating based on what's working. Staying close to the frontier - evaluating new tools, models, and approaches and translating what matters for our context. Navigating ambiguity with first-principles thinking - when there's no playbook, you write it. This role reports to Kirsti Grant , Chief People Experience Officer. I have spent the last 18 years working with some of NZ's most well-known tech companies either as a team member or as an advisor. I started out in recruitment before jumping into the broader People Experience space. I treat PX as a commercial function - not a support one. That means designing for performance and belonging at the same time, building people systems that scale, and making sure the way Auror hires, develops, and retains talent is a genuine competitive advantage. I am particularly focused on how AI changes the way teams work, including inside PX itself, and am leading the Auror's approach to responsible AI adoption. I lead with care and accountability in equal measure. High
