Deep technical build experience (coding, platform engineering) is not required - the focus is governance, program leadership, and change enablement ## Description Looking for a senior contractor to lead an emerging knowledge-management transformation effort. This is a KM transformation and governance leadership role, not a software development role. You will lead the design and rollout of enterprise knowledge-management practices - platform adoption, content governance, change enablement, and critical-knowledge capture - while ensuring the organization's knowledge base is structured to support enterprise AI search and retrieval as those capabilities mature., * Lead enterprise adoption of a knowledge-management platform, including rollout planning, stakeholder alignment, and adoption tracking. * Design and operate content governance and lifecycle processes: taxonomy, metadata standards, ownership models, review cadence, and retirement/archival policy. * Establish and run a KM Champions network - a distributed model of business-unit knowledge owners - to drive sustained adoption and local accountability. * Lead critical-knowledge capture initiatives: identifying at-risk subject-matter expertise, structuring capture interviews, and converting tacit knowledge into governed, reusable content. * Design and execute formal change enablement plans (communications, training, adoption metrics) to support each phase of the KM program. * Define content-quality gates that content must pass before entering an AI-searchable index, and establish a source-authority hierarchy so conflicting content has a clear, governed answer for which source wins. * Partner with data/AI teams on how content and metadata are structured for retrieval accuracy, and ensure permissions are mapped so AI search never surfaces content beyond a user's existing access rights. * Define citation and source-attribution standards so AI-surfaced answers can be traced back to a governed, authoritative source. * Report program status, adoption metrics, and risk to client sponsors and internal stakeholders. ## Related Videos - [A Data Mesh needs Open Metadata](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/505-a-data-mesh-needs-open-metadata) - [Same Tower, New Confusion: The Tower of Babel 2.0](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100101-same-tower-new-confusion-the-tower-of-babel-2-0) - [Building an AI-Ready Content Lake: Scaling RAG and Document AI Beyond Demos](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1977-building-an-ai-ready-content-lake-scaling-rag-and-document-ai-beyond-demos) - [Crafting Custom Frameworks with Rust: A Deep Dive into Procedural Macros](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/849-crafting-custom-frameworks-with-rust-a-deep-dive-into-procedural-macros) - [Beyond GPT: Building Unified GenAI Platforms for the Enterprise of Tomorrow](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1525-beyond-gpt-building-unified-genai-platforms-for-the-enterprise-of-tomorrow) - [Bringing Clarity to Event Streams: Enabling Analytics and AI Through Rich Metadata](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1616-bringing-clarity-to-event-streams-enabling-analytics-and-ai-through-rich-metadata) ## Related Articles - [Everything a Developer Needs to Know About MCP with Neo4j](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/604-everything-a-developer-needs-to-know-about-mcp-with-neo4j) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production) - [Graph and AI Trends 2026: Why Is AI Running but Not Yet Delivering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/680-graph-and-ai-trends-2026-why-is-ai-running-but-not-yet-delivering) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [WebMCP: Empowering Agents as First-Class Citizens of the Web](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/696-webmcp-empowering-agents-as-first-class-citizens-of-the-web)
