About The Position

eCornell seeks experienced professionals to facilitate courses in its AI Strategy and Organizational Change certificate portfolio.

Projects may include AI opportunity assessments, workflow redesigns, business model innovations, venture derisking plans, and AI transformation strategies. The role also involves managing online discussions, responding to learners, tracking progress, preparing for and facilitating at least one to two courses per month, completing onboarding and shadowing, and participating in continuing training and professional development.
