Your Work Shapes the World at Caterpillar Inc.

When you join Caterpillar, you're joining a global team who cares not just about the work we do - but also about each other. We are the makers, problem solvers, and future world builders who are creating stronger, more sustainable communities. We don't just talk about progress and innovation here - we make it happen, with our customers, where we work and live.

Together, we are building a better world, so we can all enjoy living in it.

Owns the delivery, enablement, and community‑building functions of the AI Accelerator's enablement program. The AI Accelerator is a central team responsible for helping Caterpillar's enterprise functions - such as engineering, supply chain, HR, and manufacturing - adopt and leverage AI. This role is the primary interface between the AI Accelerator and Caterpillar's central L&D organization and is responsible for driving an AI curriculum that increases use‑case velocity across Caterpillar's enterprise functions.

This is a foundational role for the enablement program we are building and will need to be comfortable doing hands‑on enablement — running workshops, demonstrating capabilities, and helping teams connect AI tools to their actual workflows — as well as forming a strategy to scale the program over time. Reports to the Senior Director, AI Accelerator.

• Own end‑to‑end delivery of the AI Accelerator's training programs across multiple audiences and capability levels. Ensure programs produce measurable changes in how teams work, not just awareness.
• Serve as a hands‑on AI enablement resource for business teams – running workshops, demonstrating tools, and helping teams connect AI capabilities to their actual workflows. Requires working fluency with applied AI technologies including large language models, agentic architectures, and retrieval‑augmented generation.
• Design, launch, and sustain cross‑functional communities of practice that connect AI practitioners across the enterprise and accelerate knowledge sharing.
• Serve as the AI Accelerator's primary liaison with Caterpillar's central L&D function. Ensure specialized AI programs and broader enterprise training efforts are complementary.
• Establish how we measure whether training is working – tied to adoption and behavior change, not just completion rates.
• Identify opportunities to leverage AI to make learning, development and enablement faster and more effective.

Level: Extensive Experience

• Demonstrates hands‑on familiarity with large language models, prompt engineering, retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG), and agentic workflow patterns.
• Runs credible workshops on AI‑driven process transformation without relying on a technical co‑presenter.
• Evaluates and contextualizes emerging AI capabilities for enterprise applicability and relevance to specific business functions.
• Can bridge the gap between what AI technology can do and how teams adopt it in their day‑to‑day work.
• Identifies when training content has fallen behind the pace of AI advancement and drives updates to maintain relevance.
• Translates complex AI concepts into practical, domain‑specific guidance for non‑technical business audiences.

Knowledge of program and project management methodology and techniques; ability to plan, organize, and manage multiple concurrent learning programs across diverse audiences and delivery formats.

Level: Extensive Experience

• Manages multiple concurrent programs across different audiences, capability levels, and delivery formats without gaps in execution.
