JPMorganChase•Chicago, IL

About The Position

The Vice President, AI Transformation Community of Practice (CoP) – Program Manager owns the delivery and operations of a community designed to accelerate AI transformations led by senior AI Transformation Leads across a global enterprise. The community helps leaders access capabilities, expertise, and assets faster; remove blockers; increase reuse across businesses and functions; and turn ambition into execution and business value. Its formats include a flagship summit, recurring deep-dive sessions, and an always-on virtual community. Working in the enterprise AI Skilling & Enablement organization, the Program Manager anticipates leaders’ needs, structures ambiguous problems, connects people and capabilities across the organization, and establishes an effective operating cadence. The role partners with business and function strategy teams, executive development colleagues, finance, events, vendors, and capability owners. It reports directly to the Executive Director, AI Transformation Community of Practice, who holds overall accountability for the community and owns its content and curriculum agenda. Success is measured by leader outcomes, including faster access to capabilities, barriers removed, cross-business reuse, and transformations progressing toward business value—not by activity alone. The role includes travel of up to 20 percent for flagship events.
