The AI Outreach & Community Strategist is a senior individual contributor within U.S. Bank's AI Center of Excellence (AI CoE), the enterprise hub that evangelizes, educates, enables, and executes the bank's AI strategy.   This role shapes and stewards the voice, brand, and community presence of the AI CoE, evolving signature programs like AI Conversations and the legacy Champions community into a connected ecosystem that informs, inspires, and engages employees at every level.     This role operates as a strategic thought partner to Global Learning & Development (GL&D), Communications, Innovation, Developer Experience Tech, Employee Tech Experience, and senior leaders across U.S. Bank. While GL&D owns the enterprise AI upskilling strategy, this role owns AI CoE-specific outreach, community engagement, and brand presence, partnering closely with GL&D's Emerging Technology and AI Upskilling team to ensure AI CoE programs reinforce and amplify enterprise learning priorities. It is a highly visible role for an organized communicator who thrives in fast-moving environments, is energized by senior leadership conversations and large-scale events, and wants autonomy to refine programs and build a vibrant AI community.
