Vp of ai strategy

Change.org is searching for a VP of AI Strategy. You will report to our COO. As a key member of our executive team, you’ll develop and drive the organization’s AI strategy and transformation, such that all teams are effectively leveraging AI for step-change improvements in the quality and velocity of our work.

Change.org is the world’s largest platform for democracy.

At a time when dissatisfaction with democracy globally is at an all-time high, we’re investing heavily in using AI to build an operating system for modern democracy. This includes our platform for giving people greater voice, a personalized voter guide for elections, and a new product which aims to bring people across the political spectrum together to identify shared solutions.

To realize this vision, we're building a team at the intersection of technology and civic engagement — bringing together top talent focused on giving citizens a direct voice, strengthening accountability, and building stronger, more resilient democracies.

Key Outcomes

Develop and communicate an AI strategy that has wide alignment and support across the organization.

Build and maintain an iterative roadmap of AI transformation initiatives across and within our teams.

Develop a robust AI learning program, including regular ‘step change’ training and frequent AI demos relevant to each team.

Infuse the organization with frequent insights into developments in AI relevant to each team, and push all of us to grasp what’s already possible, or coming soon.

Own the AI transformation operating cadence — run the meeting rhythm and reporting forums (AI-Exec, AI-PD, and related working groups) that keep teams aligned on sequencing and dependencies.

Come in with ‘big ears’ and proactively listen to ICs on the ground before recommending major changes — map what’s actually happening versus what leadership believes is happening, and deliver candid recommendations on where AI adoption stands and should be going.
