Intern, AI Enablement & Adoption Specialist (Fall 2026, 4 Months) - Sydney, Australia

Reporting directly to the AI Transformation Office, the AI Enablement & Adoption Specialist is a highly approachable, people-centric guide dedicated to accelerating AI fluency across our corporate office. Operating as a hybrid between a hands-on coach and an adoption advocate, you will empower employees to confidently integrate enterprise AI tools—specifically Microsoft Copilot, Gemini and Claude—into their daily tasks. You will provide on-demand floor support, lightweight training, and immediate troubleshooting to ensure our teams are maximizing their productivity securely, effectively, and without frustration. This role requires a high degree of initiative and a self-starter mentality — you'll be expected to proactively identify opportunities, engage employees, and drive adoption without waiting to be asked. We are looking for a student to intern for the Fall term (September to December). Key Responsibilities On-Demand Coaching & Support - Act as the visible, go-to resource in the office. Provide 1:1 and small-group troubleshooting, prompt refinement, and immediate assistance for employees stuck or unsure how to start with Copilot or Gemini or Claude. Training & Enablement - Develop and deliver lightweight micro-training, host office hours, and share practical “how-to” guides that demonstrate effective ways to use AI for daily tasks. Adoption Advocacy - Monitor tool usage, collect employee feedback, and identify common hurdles. Share internal success stories and practical use cases to organically grow adoption across the organization. Task-Level Integration - Help individuals apply AI directly to the work in front of them (e.g., drafting emails, summarizing meetings, generating ideas) without the need for formal, large-scale business process mapping. Responsible AI Guidance - Educate staff on the company’s AI governance policies, ensuring data privacy, risk mitigation, and safe guardrails are followed during daily AI use. Qualifications & Skills Experience - Previous background in corporate support, peer coaching, training, IT helpdesk, or technology adoption. We value aptitude, enthusiasm, and a track record of helping others over a strict number of years in enablement. AI Literacy - Strong practical familiarity with generative AI tools—specifically Microsoft Copilot and Gemini and Claude —including prompt engineering basics and a clear understanding of their corporate capabilities and limitations. Communication - Exceptional interpersonal skills with the ability to translate technical AI concepts into accessible, actionable advice for non-technical employees. Problem Solving - A practical, solution-oriented mindset focused on helping users overcome immediate roadblocks and craft better prompts to get their desired outputs. Empathy & Patience - A high degree of emotional intelligence to comfortably guide employees who have varying levels of tech-savviness or potential hesitations about adopting AI tools.
