Senior Program Manager, AI Enablement

About The Role

The Applied AI team's job is to make AI a trusted co-pilot for every Chimer — so Chime moves faster and builds better. As Program Manager, AI Enablement, you own the programs that make that happen: the networks, resources, and rhythms that move Chimers from knowing AI tools exist to actually changing how they work.  This is a program ownership role, not a coordination role. You come in with a problem and a scope, and you come back with the shape: narrative, roadmap, milestones, success metrics, operating cadence. The programs you run should be able to survive a week without you.

The base salary offered for this role and level of experience will begin at $138,000.00 and up to $190,000.00. Full-time employees are also eligible for a bonus, competitive equity package, and benefits. The actual base salary offered may be higher, depending on your location, skills, qualifications, and experience.

In this role, you can expect to:

Own cross-functional AI enablement programs end-to-end (e.g., AI Champions network, onboarding and activation programs): design, operating cadence, stakeholder activation, and fluency outcomes

Go deep on workflow problems before proposing solutions — spend time understanding what's actually slowing teams down, then design programs and tools that address the root cause

Partner directly with teams to build AI-enabled solutions — not just roll them out, but get hands-on in the design and build alongside the people doing the work

Set the health model for your programs from day one — success metrics, milestones, and status that lives on shared surfaces without anyone having to ask

Drive adoption of AAI-built tools and resources so Chimers can level up without going through AAI every time

Build and maintain self-serve enablement resources (e.g., playbooks, golden paths) that orgs can use independently

Lead change management for AI enablement work — training, comms, and activation that shifts behavior, not just awareness

Build documentation and governance into programs from the start, so nothing depend on you being in the room

Measure whether Chimers are actually working differently (fluency progression, adoption signals, and productivity tied to company goals) and report that to leadership

Foster collaboration between Product, Engineering, BizOps, and People teams to operationalize the future of work at Chime.

To thrive in this role, you have:

5+ years of experience in program or project management, preferably in a fast-paced tech environment.

Experience taking ambiguous problems and building a program around them; narrative, roadmap, milestones, and operating cadence without waiting for structure to be provided

History of driving behavior change, not just program completion, and the judgment to know the difference between a launch and a result

Hands-on experience building or automating workflows using AI tools — able to walk through something personally built, what broke, and what changed as a result.

Experience owning large, distributed programs without direct authority over participants, and keeping them activated and accountable

Communication habits that keep stakeholders informed without them having to ask — status on shared surfaces, not surfaced reactively

Experience defining program health models upfront: success metrics, milestones, and measurement built in before launch, not retroactively

Comfort spending time in a problem before designing a solution

Familiarity with common productivity or workflow tools (e.g., Jira, Asana, Notion, etc)

Preferred Qualifications

Experience running ambassador, champion, or CoE programs; groups where you had no direct authority over participants but were accountable for their activation and outcomes

Background in enablement, L&D, or change management in a technology environment

Experience In An Internal Ai Or Enterprise Ai Adoption Role

Hands-on experience with AI tooling (e.g., ChatGPT, Glean, Claude, Cursor, Gemini)

Background in product operations, business operations, or technical program management.

Working knowledge of AI governance or Responsible AI principles.
