Manager, AI Enablement

About The Role

Are you a curious, collaborative self-starter who enjoys building relationships, connecting ideas, and getting to the root of how things really work? Are you the kind of person who spots friction that has quietly become part of the routine and understands that the best solution starts with a well-understood problem? Are you excited about the possibilities of AI and interested in helping an organization turn those possibilities into practical solutions?

If so, we want to hear from you.

Sinclair is hiring a Manager, AI Enablement to help identify, understand, and clearly frame the operational problems facing our teams and the business. This highly visible role works across every business function to surface AI opportunities and regularly informs C-suite discussions.

AI Enablement owns the AI opportunity pipeline at Sinclair: capturing, evaluating, and prioritizing opportunities across the business, and deciding which become approved-for-build projects. This role helps run that pipeline day to day and translates approved-for-build opportunities to the AI Product and Delivery team. Through ongoing conversations with employees and leaders, you will uncover pain points, examine processes closely, and contribute your judgment on whether an opportunity calls for AI, process improvement, or another solution.

We do not layer AI on top of broken processes.

We are looking for a thoughtful, natural connector who listens closely, recognizes patterns in what people say and do, and sees potential value before the numbers are fully developed. You do not need to be a technical AI expert. You do need to be able to walk into any part of the business with curiosity, ask great questions, earn trust quickly, and leave with a sharper picture of what is possible.

• Build and maintain trusted relationships with employees and leaders across departments to surface opportunities and support AI adoption.
• Engage with business teams across the organization to observe how work happens, ask questions that surface friction and inefficiency, and identify problems worth solving.
• Understand the problem first, then examine the underlying process. Only when the process is sound should the question of AI come into play.

• Manage the intake path for AI-related opportunities from every source: the Champions Program, direct conversations, business partner requests, and escalations. Keep requesters informed of status and next steps.
• Help run the AI Enablement opportunity pipeline: capture, evaluate, prioritize, and scope opportunities across Sinclair, and support the decision on which are ready to hand off as approved-for-build projects to AI Product and Delivery.
• Partner on business case development for opportunities as they move through the pipeline.
• Translate approved-for-build opportunities into clear project briefs that carry the problem framing, the current state, open decisions, and the people involved, with sources for the facts so the receiving team can build with confidence.
• Stay connected through evaluation, build, and delivery as an ongoing point of contact for the business partner. Answer questions, correct misunderstandings, maintain momentum, and keep the work anchored to the original business need.
• Partner with AI Product and Delivery through the handoff and into build, so the problem framing, current state, and stakeholder context stay with the work as it moves to the technical partners who build it.
• Partner with department leaders during opportunity evaluation, so technology fit, feasibility, and solution design shape an opportunity before it becomes an approved project.
