Decentralized Masters
WHO WE ARE Decentralized Masters is a profitable, bootstrapped DeFi education company. In just 4 years, we’ve grown from 0 to 150 people with $50M in ARR, 4,500+ Members and scaling toward $75-100M revenue in 2026. We operate across multiple jurisdictions (mainly the UAE & the US) and have ambitious plans to expand into new, complementary business lines this year. We move at an uncomfortable pace, but that is exactly the way we like it. Our Members love the product, and we’ve built a top-tier sales, marketing, and product team to match. Now it’s time to build the foundation that supports the next phase of exponential growth, and that starts with a world-class finance function. THE OPPORTUNITY We require a highly competent, experienced and intelligent right-hand: someone who can manage, motivate, and develop a junior finance team while helping to shape a forward-thinking, AI-driven finance function from the ground up.

Role Description We’re looking for a Program Manager to build and run ModusLink’s enterprise AI enablement and adoption program from the ground up. This is a high ownership role for someone who enjoys turning ambiguity into momentum and ideas into real productivity. The Program Manager, AI Enablement & Adoption is responsible for building and operating ModusLink’s enterprise AI capability from the ground up, with an initial focus on adoption, productivity impact, and responsible use of AI tools across the business. This is a hands-on builder role. The Program Manager will operate ahead of fully formed governance, tooling, and staffing, creating clarity through execution and proving value through rapid delivery. As adoption scales, this role will evolve to lead a small team (2–3) of technical AI practitioners. - Own the enterprise AI enablement and adoption program end to end. - Identify and prioritize high value AI use cases. - Run enablement programs to drive adoption (live trainings, onboarding sessions, office hours, internal community channels). - Support prompt engineering: help users translate business questions into effective prompts, refine outputs, and develop reusable prompt patterns. - Curate and publish a library of use cases, prompt examples, and “how-to” guides; connect power users to showcase real examples. - Facilitate adoption events (e.g., prompt-a-thons) across time zones, including planning, facilitation, and follow-up communications. - Consult with teams to evaluate use cases and recommend the simplest effective approach—prioritizing out-of-the-box capabilities over custom development. - Advise on tool limitations (e.g., numeric/analytical scenarios) and when lightweight scripting (e.g., Python) is required versus when the request should be re-scoped. - Partner with stakeholders to define, track, and report adoption metrics (usage, activation, active users) and business impact. - Collect user feedback, surface blockers, and propose practical solutions; maintain an open, collaborative communication style. - Coordinate with IT/Security/Compliance (as applicable) to ensure AI use follows approved governance and responsible-use guidance. Qualifications - Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Information Technology, Data Science, or related field. - 3+ years of experience in AI/ML engineering and digital workplace technologies. - Proven experience in enablement, change management, training, customer success, solutions consulting, or internal evangelism roles. - Strong working knowledge of modern AI productivity tools (e.g., Copilot) and common enterprise use cases, with the ability to define and monitor adoption and impact metrics. - Ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences and coach users to better outcomes. - Strong stakeholder management and communication skills; comfortable working across functions and seniority levels. Requirements - Evangelism mindset: inspires adoption through practical value, storytelling, and clear examples. - Coaching and facilitation: helps users learn by doing; adapts to different skill levels. - Pragmatism: works within tool constraints; avoids unnecessary engineering and complexity. - Bias for action: tests, iterates, and shares learnings quickly. - Collaboration and trust: open communication, receptive to feedback, and proactive about surfacing risks/blockers. Working Conditions - General climate-controlled office environment or home based. - Prolonged sitting and repetitive motion due to extended computer use. - Stress related to conflicting priorities and meeting schedule deadlines. - Some international travel may be required.
