AI Enablement & Program Operations

Perella Weinberg is seeking an Innovation Associate to run and build on the firm's AI program in direct partnership with stakeholders across the Corporate functions. This is a hands-on operator role: you will own the recurring work that keeps the program running – adoption reporting, training and onboarding materials, vendor and contract follow-through, pilot logistics, and platform administration – and grow into building the proprietary toolset the firm runs on.  

Perella Weinberg runs an AI program firm-wide, roughly 750 seats across the firm's 12 offices in five countries, with near-universal adoption driven by demand rather than mandate. The program is now in a build phase: the firm's own expertise is being packaged into a proprietary skill library the whole firm uses and builds on every day. This individual will combine frontier AI models and tools, Microsoft 365, various connectors, and custom-built solutions to improve processes, enhance data quality, and create operating leverage across the Corporate functions.  

The successful candidate is a self-starter who thrives in an ambiguous, dynamic environment and craves the opportunity to build solutions end-to-end with a variety of tools while having significant autonomy. No engineering background is required – this program was built by a leader without one.  
** Responsibilities**
* ** Reporting.
** Produce the recurring adoption and usage reporting and the readouts leadership needs, including the drivers behind the numbers and where a metric is not telling the full story
* ** Training and onboarding materials.
** Keep the training library current – the Workday onboarding journey, guides, and session materials – working with other departments so it stays accurate across firm platforms
* ** Keeping things moving.
** Push contracts, vendor items, and internal processes along so nothing stalls; assist with platform administration, including placing people into the proper groups with the proper roles
* ** Pilot logistics.
** Run the logistics as new features deploy – scheduling, tester groups, feedback, and follow-through
* ** First-pass skill development.
** Draft and self-test new skills, growing into the work as you learn the library; the Head of Innovation approves what ships
* ** Corporate up-skilling and AI consultation.
** Own AI up-skilling for the Corporate teams, get them fluent across the full tool stack, and be their first call for how-to questions
* ** Workflow redesign.
** Learn how Corporate teams execute work today, spot the bottlenecks, find where AI reshapes the process, and help rebuild it
* ** Ad hoc data clean-up.
** Take on multi-step data clean-ups spanning many stakeholders; sequence the work end to end so it is fixed once and stakeholder whiplash is minimized
* ** Ad hoc operational support.
** Pitch in on other firm priorities that touch AI use and development
* Firm-level strategy stays with the Head of

Innovation: the vendor relationships, firm-wide communication and training, advisory-business consultation, workflow strategy at the firm level, ownership of the firm skill library, and final approval on any skill that ships firm-wide.  
** The Ideal Candidate Will Possess
*** At least four years of experience in a corporate setting with cross-functional exposure, using every resource available and working across groups to reach strong outcomes
* A builder's mindset – comfortable prototyping, shipping, and iterating rather than only administering; you tinker, adjust, and pull the thread to the end
* Fluency across the full AI tool stack (skills, connectors, agentic workflows, Microsoft 365, dashboards, scheduled jobs) and in how work actually gets done
* Strong analytical skills and clear writing; you are ruthless about inspecting…
