Job Type: Full-Time

The Enablement Strategist II serves as a senior delivery and enablement professional within the Innovation Unit
, translating strategic innovation initiatives into executable programs, projects, and services. This role partners closely with campus stakeholders, Innovation Engineers, and cross-functional IT teams to break down complex problems, define implementation plans, coordinate delivery activities, and ensure successful adoption of innovative solutions.

Operating as a bridge between vision and execution, the Enablement Strategist II focuses on tactical implementation, stakeholder engagement, documentation, and delivery coordination, ensuring that Innovation initiatives are well-scoped, effectively communicated, and sustainably supported once deployed. This position requires strong program and project leadership, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work hands‑on with customers and technical teams to move ideas from concept to operational reality.

Evaluate use cases for “clicks-not-code” approaches, determine feasibility and limitations, and guide stakeholders toward appropriate solution patterns. Partner with Innovation Engineers to identify when no-code/low-code solutions are sufficient versus when custom development is required. Promote responsible, secure, and scalable use of no-code tools in alignment with enterprise standards and AI governance principles. Develop training materials and lead hands‑on workshops and effective, multimodal training sessions to enable campus partners to confidently use new services and solutions.

Manage program and project‑level activities including planning, documentation, stakeholder communication, and delivery tracking.
