AI Education Lead

Responsibilities

• Make every person at Basis maximally effective at using AI, keeping an already AI-native organization at the cutting edge as models and tools change weekly.
• Live at the frontier of AI: test new models immediately upon release, build workflows with them, run multiple agents, and form views on real capabilities vs. demos.
• Design and deliver company-wide programs, role-specific playbooks, hands-on workshops, one-on-one coaching, and in-the-flow skills/agents that teach people.
• Make complex AI concepts intuitive for both engineers and non-engineers, explaining subtle distinctions across models, tools, and workflows.
• Own adoption and behavioral change: ensure people work differently, agents take on more valuable work, and gains compound across the company.
• Translate frontier techniques into secure, reliable, repeatable systems suitable for a growing company handling sensitive data.
• Identify capability gaps, design interventions, create pull across teams, and measure impact on how people actually work.
• Exercise organizational judgment on balancing individual power-user setups with company-wide trust, speed, and curiosity.
