AI Education Lead

New York · On-site$100k – $300k + Equity

About this role

We are looking for an AI Education Lead with 5+ years of experience to keep an already AI-native organization at the cutting edge as models and tools evolve weekly. You are someone who lives at the frontier of AI — running agents, building workflows, and forming sharp opinions on what actually matters with each new model release. You'll own how every person at Basis (a $1B+ AI platform for accounting) learns, adapts, and works alongside agents. This is not an introductory training role — you'll be pushing an advanced team even further and inventing the playbook for how humans and AI collaborate at scale.

What will you be doing?

Designing and delivering company-wide AI education programs, role-specific playbooks, and hands-on workshops that drive measurable behavior change — not just attendance

Staying at the absolute frontier of AI capabilities — testing new models on release day, building with them, and translating insights into actionable guidance for engineers and non-engineers alike

Embedding directly with teams to identify capability gaps, redesign workflows around agents, and ensure adoption compounds across the organization

Translating frontier AI techniques into secure, reliable, and repeatable systems that a fast-growing company handling sensitive data can trust

Building skills, agents, and internal tools that teach people in the flow of work — creating zero-human loops where possible and freeing teams for higher-level work
