Senior Manager, Enterprise Technology Partnerships & AI Integration

Position Summary
WORK MODEL: Remote but will need to be able to commute to Park Ridge, IL as needed for company meetings.

The Senior Manager, Enterprise Technology Partnerships & AI Integration is responsible for building the organization’s capacity to develop and execute B2B technology partnerships that expand the reach, application and enterprise value of the organization’s intellectual property. This is the primary mandate of the role: moving the organization from content provider to trusted enterprise input across learning platforms, EHS software, compliance tools and AI-enabled applications. The role is also responsible for identifying and deploying AI tools and agents that strengthen internal operations, staff workflows and organizational productivity.

This role serves as a strategic connector across technology, market strategy, business development and technical content functions, designing and executing partnership and integration models that embed the organization’s standards, content and expertise into platforms such as learning management systems, EHS software, compliance tools and enterprise dashboards, while protecting the organization’s mission, brand and intellectual property.

This role intentionally spans both external partnership development and internal AI enablement, reflecting the organization’s current stage of organizational AI maturity and the VP of Technology’s responsibility to advance both simultaneously. Candidates who thrive in this role will see the two mandates as complementary, not competing.

This position supports enterprise technology solutions, AI enabled capabilities, and cross functional partnerships that strengthen organizational effectiveness and advance the organization’s mission and strategic priorities.
