1) interview a ~30-person team about their use of an internal AI tool
2) identify “Expert” users and what’s working
3) produce a Final Report + Executive Presentation with practical recommendations on ways of working.
This is a people-and-communication role that will involve planning and conducting interviews, synthesizing themes, writing clear best-practice entries, and presenting findings to leadership.

• Best Practices Compendium (v1): 8–12 short, practical entries (when to use, how to do, examples, do/don’t).
• Findings & Recommendations Report (15–20 pages): current usage patterns, maturity segments, barriers, opportunity areas, and recommended ways of working.
• Executive Presentation (8–10 slides) and a simple “who owns what next” table.
• Weekly status updates (2 hrs/week) and tidy hand-off/archive.
Key Responsibilities:
• Plan & schedule interviews; conduct ~8–10 interviews/week (30–40 mins each) with strong note-taking and respectful facilitation.
• Qualitative synthesis: turn notes into themes and clear, evidence-based insights.
• Identify and profile “Expert” users using a simple rubric (breadth of use, quality, outcomes, safety, teach-ability).
• Write plain-language best practices (short checklists/templates and examples) that the broader team can apply immediately.
• Author a clear report and present to executives—concise story, practical actions, and owners.
• Light coordination with the project sponsor; keep risks, decisions, and expectations visible.
Required Qualifications:
• 5+ years in consulting, user research, qualitative analysis, change/adoption, or similar client-facing roles.
• Proven track record running structured interviews and producing clear, actionable write-ups.
• Excellent business writing and executive storytelling; can turn interviews into a crisp narrative and slides.

Nice-to-Haves:
• Prior experience using Agile project management principles.
• Life sciences / healthcare experience (understanding of privacy & compliance basics).
• Light familiarity with simple metrics (e.g., “weekly active users”), but no analytics build required.
Success Measures (first ~13 weeks):

• 8–12 best practices published that the team confirms are useful.
• Clear Expert Roster with recommended champion roles.
• Final Report + Executive Deck delivered on time, with actionable next-90-day recommendations and owners.
• Positive sponsor feedback on clarity and practicality of outputs.
Logistics:
• Contract: ~13 weeks, 20 hrs/week, fully remote.
