AI Enablement & Community Lead

About Coalfire

Coalfire is on a mission to make the world a safer place by solving our clients’ hardest cybersecurity challenges. We work at the cutting edge of technology to advise, assess, automate, and ultimately help companies navigate the ever‑changing cybersecurity landscape. We are headquartered in Chicago, Illinois with offices across the U.S. and U.K., and we support clients around the world.

But that’s not who we are – that’s just what we do.

We are thought leaders, consultants, and cybersecurity experts, but above all else, we are a team of passionate problem‑solvers who are hungry to learn, grow, and make a difference.

• Design, build, and continuously improve a curriculum of AI training programs spanning foundational literacy, role‑specific fluency, and advanced practitioner development
• Partner with functional leads across the business to understand skill gaps and tailor learning pathways to specific roles (advisory, delivery, operations, etc.)
• Develop and manage self‑paced resources, workshops, certifications, and onboarding materials that scale across a distributed workforce
• Track learning outcomes and adoption metrics, using data to continuously sharpen what’s working

• Build and run Coalfire’s internal AI community – creating spaces (channels, forums, events, office hours) where employees can share what they’re building, ask questions, and learn from each other
• Identify and cultivate internal AI champions and power users across the organization
• Facilitate knowledge‑sharing and peer learning so best practices spread organically, not just top‑down

• Be the voice that keeps AI top‑of‑mind internally – translating complex or abstract AI developments into relatable, relevant narratives for a general employee audience
• Develop and distribute internal communications (newsletters, announcements, spotlights) that highlight real AI wins, use cases, and learnings from across the company
• Represent the AI & Data team at all‑hands meetings, internal events, and cross‑functional forums

• Serve as a thought partner to the Chief AI & Data Officer on the human dimensions of our AI strategy – readiness, culture, change management
• Collaborate with HR and People teams on integrating AI competencies into talent development frameworks, performance expectations, and hiring
• Stay current on enterprise AI trends, tools, and adult learning best practices, bringing relevant insights back to the team

• 7+ years of experience in a combination of learning & development, organizational change, technical training, or community building – ideally in a technology‑forward or professional services environment
• Demonstrated ability to take complex technical topics and make them accessible, engaging, and actionable for non‑technical audiences
• Experience building programs from scratch, not just inheriting and maintaining them
• Strong written and verbal communication skills – you can write a compelling internal newsletter and facilitate a room of skeptical senior consultants
• Genuine enthusiasm for AI and its practical applications in the workplace; you don’t need to be an engineer, but you need to be deeply curious and credible
• Comfort working in a high‑growth, fast‑moving environment where the roadmap is still being written
• Experience working cross‑functionally and influencing without direct authority

• Background in cybersecurity, GRC, or professional services
• Experience with learning management systems (LMS) and adult instructional design
• Familiarity with enterprise AI tools (Copilot, Claude, etc.) and how they’re being deployed in professional environments
