AI Enablement Operations Project Manager

Join Ferguson 's AI Center of Excellence (AI CoE) and play a critical role in advancing AI adoption across the organization! In this highly visible position, you'll lead the operational management of our AI use case portfolio, partnering closely with business leaders, business collaborators, multi-functional teams to help transform ideas into scalable, business-ready AI solutions. You will lead all aspects of the end-to-end management of the AI use case pipeline, guiding initiatives from intake and evaluation through governance, leadership review, prioritization, and execution tracking. Working across both AI CoE portfolio operations and AI Adoption & Enablement programs, you'll balance contending priorities, coordinate key participants, manage risks, and ensure initiatives continue moving forward efficiently and effectively.

While AI Enablement leadership sets the overall strategy, governance framework, adoption approach, and portfolio direction, this role owns the execution and operational success of those programs. You'll exercise significant independent judgment in evaluating use cases, structuring discovery and analysis, determining readiness for leadership review, resolving issues, managing customer engagement, and presenting decision-ready recommendations to leaders and executives.

This is a senior-level individual contributor opportunity for an experienced project manager who thrives in ambiguity, brings structure to complex initiatives, and enjoys influencing outcomes in a fast-paced, evolving environment. You'll have a high degree of autonomy and accountability while helping expand Ferguson ’s artificial intelligence capabilities and accelerating business value through responsible AI adoption.
