AI Training Analyst Be You. The Digital Experience & Academic Technology Solutions (DEATS) team is seeking an AI Training Analyst to join the Office of Information Technology's DEATS Team. As AI becomes embedded in every aspect of institutional life, OIT's AI-related work is central to Duke's commitment to preparing students, faculty, and staff for success amid technological transformation, ensuring that AI enhances rather than displaces human expertise and that the university community can engage with AI tools responsibly and effectively. To help prepare students, faculty, and staff for this, Duke has a growing portfolio of self-paced resources, webinars, hands-on workshops, cohort-based accelerators, and consulting services for staff and faculty. This role guides that training portfolio to work as an integrated system, fill its gaps, and ensure that everyone at Duke, regardless of technical background, has a clear path to AI fluency and enablement. Be Bold. The AI Training Analyst designs, delivers, and assesses OIT's AI education programming, including self-paced resources, webinars, hands-on workshops, personalized department engagements, a cross-functional consulting service, and cohort-based accelerators. This is a proactive, highly collaborative role. You will manage an existing training portfolio, identify gaps, create new content, and deliver training to departments rather than waiting for them to seek it out. A competitive candidate is comfortable delivering a webinar to 150 people and having a one-on-one conversation with an administrator who doesn't know where to start - and sees both as equally important. They have a demonstrated understanding of generative AI tools and their implications for workforce development, as well as strong skills in translating technical concepts for non-technical audiences. Responsibilities Training Delivery and Content Development Design, curate, and deliver AI training across multiple formats (asynchronous, webinar, hands-on, cohort-based) and audiences, with a particular focus on making training accessible, relevant, practical, and reusable. Covering ethical principles, technical foundations, policy considerations, data stewardship, responsible use, and technical and non-technical application of Duke's AI Suite. Develop and coordinate role-specific reskilling pathways that connect teams with pragmatic, hands-on training. Develop and maintain training materials: slide decks, role-based workflow guides, facilitator guides, responsible-use templates, and participant resources. Keep materials current as tools, capabilities, and institutional guidance evolve. Coordinate with subject matter experts, school-based AI faculty leads, the Center for Teaching and Learning, and other institutional partners to align programming, avoid duplication, and identify opportunities for collaboration. AI Consultation Participate in the AI consultation service; Duke's live, expert-assisted support for staff, faculty, and students navigating complex or sensitive AI use cases. This service bridges the gap between structured training sessions and real-world application in participants' daily work. Manage scheduling, intake, and triage for consultation requests. Match requests to the right consultant and route straightforward cases to self-service resources where appropriate. Conduct consultations directly for foundational and productivity-focused use cases; escalate complex technical or policy-sensitive cases to appropriate specialists. Track consultation patterns and volume to identify recurring questions, surface common training gaps, and inform the development of new resources and programming. Improve the consultation experience over time by refining intake processes, developing a library of common-use-case responses, finding ways to train and add new consultants, and reducing repeat requests through better self-service resources and targeted training content. AI Training Program Management and Coordination Maintain a single, shared, publicly communicated AI training calendar across all formats, including logistics (room bookings, Zoom/Teams, registration, waitlists, and communications). Manage cohort-based programs: pre-consultation with leadership to understand goals and outcomes; manage team and trainer schedules; build Communities of Practice (e.g., Microsoft Teams channels) for peer support; and integrate with AI consultation services. Maintain the centralized resource hub that surfaces and sequences Duke's AI learning resources (courses, guides, recordings, documentation) so that any community member can find the right starting point. Develop communications about AI education programming, including newsletter announcements, calendar updates, department outreach, event promotion, and updates to ai.duke.edu. Design and implement program assessment strategies using pre- and post-program surveys, feedback instruments, and usage analytics to evaluate training effectiveness and drive continuous improvement. Develop mechanisms for documenting the value that training participants bring back to the institution, including tracking productivity gains, use case adoption, workflow improvements, and other measurable outcomes to demonstrate ROI and inform future programming decisions. Actively promote OIT's AI training and consulting services across the university community through presentations, outreach meetings, campus events, and coordination with school-based AI faculty leads who serve as disciplinary ambassadors.
