• Help establish practical guardrails for responsible AI use (privacy, bias mitigation, compliance) based on Nordstrom’s current policies and practices, in partnership with Legal, Technology, and Talent Enablement & Culture teams. 
• Support the vendor strategy, selection and management for AI enablement and learning in partnership with key stakeholders. 

• Develop and identify use cases to support adoption of AI and the learning content to support and drive change. 

Future of Work & Org Design 

• Contribute to scenario planning and workforce modeling to understand AI’s impact on roles, skills, and structures. 
• Support updates to job architecture and capability frameworks to reflect AI-enabled work. 
• Assist with change management strategies and leadership enablement to drive adoption and cultural readiness.
