Role Purpose

Join us at a pivotal moment in Corning's Digital & IT transformation. As the Transformation Change Management Leader, you'll serve as a strategic architect and hands-on catalyst for the adoption of Data & AI capabilities across a global workforce spanning manufacturing, R&D, and corporate functions.

Partnering closely with Data, AI, HR, and business leaders—and activating existing enterprise networks for locally-relevant delivery—you'll shape and execute transformative change strategies that accelerate digital literacy, empower our workforce, and drive measurable business value. Your leadership will build lasting capability and foster a culture of innovation, learning, and adaptability while ensuring adoption efforts feel business-led, not corporate-mandated.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Change Leadership & Hands-on Delivery:
Develop and execute an enterprise-wide change management strategy and roadmap to drive adoption of Data & AI tools globally.
Assess organizational readiness, identify adoption barriers, and leverage stakeholder insights to design targeted change initiatives, tactics, and plans.

Training & Enablement:
Collaborate with HR and subject matter experts to define and deploy scalable training and development programs for Data & AI adoption.
Design enablement experiences tailored to specific roles, workflows, and business contexts—moving beyond generic corporate training to use-case-driven skill building.
Measurement & Continuous Improvement:
Define, monitor, and report on key performance indicators for adoption, engagement, and capability growth.
Establish enterprise-wide adoption dashboards and leading indicators (e.g., active usage, capability progression, business-value realization) to guide investment decisions and demonstrate ROI to senior leadership.
Translate adoption metrics into executive-ready insights that inform prioritization and resource allocation.
