Join our team, and help us shape the future of anime!
We're looking for a Director of AI Enablement to lead Crunchyroll's enterprise-wide AI Enablement function and accelerate how AI gets adopted across the company.
This is not a traditional transformation or change-management role. We are looking for someone who can work directly with teams to understand how work gets done today, identify where AI and agents can materially improve or redesign those workflows, and turn those opportunities into practical solutions.
Reporting to the Head of Executive Office, you will own the AI Enablement agenda across Crunchyroll. You will lead a lean team, partner closely with Engineering, Enterprise Technology, Data, and other functions, and bring in external AI expertise where it can accelerate progress.
The mandate is designed to evolve. Success means building the capabilities, workflows, tools, and operating muscle so AI becomes embedded in how teams work across Crunchyroll.
Core Areas of Responsibility
We are considering applicants available to work a hybrid schedule, with three days each week onsite at our Los Angeles office.
We get excited about candidates, like you, because...
The Executive Office enables enterprise alignment, executive execution, and strategic acceleration, working to keep Crunchyroll's highest-priority work moving with clarity and speed.
AI Enablement sits within the Executive Office and serves as the company-wide capability responsible for accelerating practical AI adoption across Crunchyroll. The team works across functions to identify opportunities, redesign workflows, build organizational capability, and connect teams with the technology and expertise needed to put AI into practice.
In addition to getting to work with fun, passionate and inspired colleagues, you will also enjoy the following benefits and perks:
