About The Position

The Technology Enablement Leader is a Manager-level, hands-on player-coach responsible for defining and executing Crowe's technology enablement strategy in alignment with the firm's broader digital, AI, and transformation priorities. The role sets direction and also personally develops and delivers the work products needed to turn that direction into measurable adoption and business impact. This role owns both the direction and day-to-day delivery of the firmwide technology enablement program. The Technology Enablement Leader establishes priorities and roadmaps, designs adoption approaches, and works directly alongside team members and stakeholders to create workshops, communications, training materials, playbooks, launch plans, knowledge resources, and adoption reporting. The role must be comfortable moving quickly between strategic planning, stakeholder leadership, and detailed execution, including stepping into delivery when priorities shift or team capacity is limited. Success in this role is demonstrated through a clear and actionable enablement strategy, high-quality deliverables produced on time, sustained adoption, increased user proficiency, active participation in enablement communities, actionable feedback to technology teams, and evidence that technology investments are improving business outcomes.
