Position: Director, Engineering, Applied AI (Director, AI Enablement)

Employer: McGraw Hill

Location: Remote — open to applicants authorized to work for any employer within the United States

Pay Range: $175,000 - $220,000 annually, plus an annual bonus plan and benefits

McGraw Hill is looking for a Director, AI Enablement to build and lead the team responsible for making the company AI native. This is a senior leadership role with singular ownership of AI enablement across the organization, spanning three pillars: business workflow enablement, data enablement, and developer enablement. The Director reports to the VP of Applied AI Engineering and is accountable for adoption, best practices, governance, cost, and ROI across every business and technology AI transformation the company undertakes.

This role is about building the function, the team, and the operating model that turns AI from a set of scattered tools into a core capability that every part of the business, and every engineering team, relies on — setting strategy across all three pillars while staying close enough to the work to know where it's succeeding and where it's stalling. McGraw Hill is looking for a hands-on practitioner with enterprise GenAI tools like M365 Copilot, Claude, and coding assistants like GitHub Copilot and Claude Code.

What You'll Do:

Build, lead, and grow the AI Enablement team across business workflow, data, and developer enablement
Set the strategy, priorities, and operating model for how the company adopts and scales AI
Partner with the team's Solution Architect to turn strategy into execution
Hire, coach, and develop a team that can move fast and partner credibly with technical and business stakeholders
Own the company's overall approach to AI adoption, defining playbooks, standards, and training
Establish governance for how AI tools are evaluated, approved, and used, balancing speed with security and compliance
Own the cost model and budget for AI tools and enablement programs, and define how AI ROI is measured
Represent AI enablement to executive leadership, translating technical progress into business impact

Who You Are:

A senior leader with a software engineering background who can engage credibly with engineers and executives alike
An expert-level user of AI tools yourself, someone others come to for advice on getting the most out of these tools
Experience leading a team focused on technology adoption, enablement, or platform strategy
A track record of driving org-wide change and adoption of new tools, processes, or ways of working
Comfortable owning governance, cost, and ROI conversations
Prior experience participating in or leading an AI transformation initiative is highly preferred
