Head of AI Enablement & Digital Workplace

EQT is looking for a Head of AI Enablement & Digital Workplace to lead firm-wide adoption of AI tooling and own the day-to-day digital workplace experience. This is a senior leadership role that sits within the Digital Employee Experience (DEX) team, reporting to the Head of DEX, and leads a team of six across two connected pillars: AI enablement and digital workplace. ## **About the Team** The Digital Employee Experience team exists to make technology work for people — not the other way around. We focus on turning platform capability into real, measurable usage across the firm, shaping the surfaces and experiences employees rely on every day. The team is collaborative by nature, partnering closely with Technology, Communications, HR, and Security to land change smoothly across a global, distributed workforce. ## **About the Role** As Head of AI Enablement & Digital Workplace, you will translate AI platform capability into practical, daily use — building the skills, content, and communities that drive adoption — while also owning the collaboration and productivity surfaces that the firm's digital experience runs on. You will set the strategic direction for both pillars, lead a team of six, and serve as a credible voice to executive stakeholders on the firm's AI and digital workplace journey. As part of the role, you will likely involve travel to other EQT offices. - Lead AI adoption strategy end to end: analyse usage data, curate reporting, and build a credible impact and ROI narrative for senior leadership. - Maintain a discoverable, well-curated destination where employees can explore AI tools and proven use cases, supported by a growing library of reusable assets. - Build and sustain a network of AI champions across the firm, running regular forums that share practice and accelerate adoption. - Develop the firm's AI capability at every level — from hands-on coaching for senior partners to accessible enablement programmes for the wider workforce. - Lead AI-related internal and external communications across all formats, including presentations, video, and written content. - Embed AI onboarding into joining and integration processes for new and acquired teams. - Own the digital workplace experience across the firm's core collaboration, productivity, and video tooling, driving adoption, best practice, and continuous improvement. - Set and drive the digital workplace roadmap, keeping surfaces coherent, increasingly AI-enabled, and advocating for a simpler, leaner tool estate. - Lead, coach, and develop a team of six, setting clear priorities and managing performance across both pillars. #### **What success looks like (first 12 months)** - Measurable, sustained lift in active AI usage and a credible impact/ROI story for leadership. - AI tooling embedded into the daily collaboration surfaces, not siloed. - A self-sustaining champions network and a maturing skills library. - Digital workplace surfaces that employees rate as a genuine improvement to how they work. ## **About You** You bring a rare combination of strategic thinking, hands-on technical fluency, and genuine passion for people and change. You are at your best when you are in the room with end users, and you bring the same level of care and patience to coaching a senior partner as you do to supporting a first-time AI user. **What you'll bring (must-have):** - Proven experience leading a small team, with a track record of developing individuals and managing performance. - Demonstrated success driving enterprise software adoption and change at scale, with measurable outcomes. - Deep, hands-on familiarity with collaboration and productivity platforms, including Microsoft 365, Slack, and Zoom, as well as intranet and communications tooling. - Strong communication skills at executive level, with the ability to craft and deliver compelling narratives across decks, video, and written formats. - Data literacy — able to turn usage data and platform analytics into a clear and credible impact story for leadership. - Real fluency with enterprise AI tools, including large language models such as Claude, and a consistent habit of staying current as the space evolves. - Proven ability to manage stakeholders up to executive level across multiple functions. - Willingness to travel regularly to other EQT offices **Nice to have:** - Background in private equity, financial services, or another regulated environment. - Familiarity with AI governance or acceptable-use frameworks. - Experience supporting a multi-region, distributed workforce. - Exposure to information architecture or employee communications strategy. ## **What We Offer** At EQT, you will work at the intersection of technology and people, with the scope to shape how an ambitious global firm thinks about AI and the digital workplace. You will have the autonomy to build, a team to develop, and executive visibility to make a real impact. We believe in investing in our people — through meaningful work, continuous learning, and a culture that values diverse perspectives and ways of thinking. ## **Compensation & Benefits Notice** We offer a competitive total rewards package including base salary, determined based on the role, experience, skill set, and location. Eligible employees may also receive discretionary incentive compensation, awarded in recognition of individual performance and company results. EQT provides a comprehensive benefits offering designed to support employee wellbeing, development, and work-life balance. Benefits include paid time off, parental leave, wellbeing and wellness support, flexible working arrangements, and learning and development opportunities. Benefits are effective from the first day of employment and may vary by location and role. **Inclusion at** **EQT** *Our vision for EQT employees is to build high performing & engaged teams.
