Why You’ll Love This Role Cribl is looking for a Senior Remote Ops Manager, AI Strategy to serve as the operational engine behind its AI Center of Excellence (CoE) – building the infrastructure, governance, and enablement programs that move goats from "exploring AI" to using it every day. You'll consult, design, and deliver, partnering with the Lead of Global Remote Operations and a cross-functional working group spanning Security, IT, Legal, and every major business function to translate executive AI vision into activation across the org. As An Active Member Of Our Team, You Will… Drive AI Activation Across Cribl • Design and execute a function-by-function AI activation strategy that goes beyond company-wide awareness – building function-specific enablement, playbooks, and workflows that make AI a daily habit for goats, not a concept they heard about at kickoff. • Architect and scale an AI Champions Network. Recruit, enable, and sustain embedded advocates across business functions who drive peer-led adoption and surface use cases. • Partner across the BizOps and People team to co-design and co-deliver scalable, function-specific AI training. Run the Operations of Cribl’s AI Center of Excellence (CoE) • Own the day-to-day operations of Cribl's AI CoE – managing working group cadences, coordinating AI tool and policy decisions across stakeholder groups, and driving accountability on the activation and governance work the CoE exists to do. • Synthesize the AI landscape across functions – tracking where adoption is accelerating, where it's stalling, and what use cases are emerging, and translating those insights into CoE priorities. • Partner with working group members across Legal, IT, Security, and Enterprise Applications to maintain and evolve core CoE assets (AI tool library, use policy, intake process, governance framework, enablement materials, and more) as Cribl's AI maturity and the broader landscape evolve. Translate Executive AI Strategy into Action • Bridge the gap between what leadership wants and what the organization can do – turning high-level AI directives into prioritized, sequenced programs with clear owners, timelines, and success criteria. • Advise senior stakeholders across functions on how to build out their AI strategies and plans and manage competing priorities to achieve function-specific AI goals. • Identify patterns across functions to shape how Cribl's leadership thinks about and prioritizes AI investment. • Build a measurement framework that tracks AI adoption and impact across the org and use that data to inform CoE roadmap decisions and surface what's actually working. • We are a remote-first company and work happens across many time-zones – you may be required to occasionally perform duties outside your standard working hours If You’ve Got It - We Want It • 10+ years of experience in management consulting, internal strategy, or enterprise transformation, with a track record of both advising and seeing work through to delivery. • Experience standing up or operating an AI CoE, AI community of practice, or closely analogous function (e.g., digital transformation program, enterprise change management initiative) at a tech company. • Demonstrated track record of leading company-wide initiatives and building organizational momentum for new ways of working at scale. • Excellent communication and executive presence – comfortable presenting recommendations to VP and C-suite stakeholders, managing competing priorities, and earning concessions. • Experience designing enablement programs that changed behavior, not just built awareness; familiarity with adult learning principles and function-specific training design. • Experience defining success metrics for programs, tracking adoption and impact over time, and using data to course-correct • Working knowledge of AI governance considerations, including data classification, security controls, and compliance requirements; enough fluency to partner credibly with IT, Security, and Legal. • Comfort operating in ambiguity where best practices are still being written.
