Reporting into the AI Transformation Office, the Associate, AI Enablement & Adoption is a highly approachable, people-centric guide dedicated to accelerating AI fluency across our corporate office. Operating as a hybrid between a hands-on coach and an adoption advocate, you will empower employees to confidently integrate enterprise AI tools - specifically Microsoft Copilot, Gemini and Claude - into their daily work.
This role is important because you are the visible, go-to resource on the floor: providing on-demand support, lightweight training, and immediate troubleshooting so our teams can maximize their productivity securely, effectively, and without frustration. If you love helping people, are genuinely curious about generative AI, and can translate technical concepts into plain language for any audience, this is an excellent opportunity to shape how our organization works in the age of AI.

OMERS Compensation & Benefits Highlights
The following summarizes recurring compensation and benefits themes identified from responses generated by popular LLMs to common candidate questions about OMERS and has not been reviewed or approved by OMERS.
-
Retirement Support — Retirement benefits are positioned as a standout part of total rewards, anchored by a defined benefit pension that provides predictable lifetime income and includes survivor, disability, bridge, and inflation-protection features. The plan is often treated as materially more valuable than typical RRSP matching, despite requiring employee contributions.
-
Fair & Transparent Compensation — Compensation is frequently characterized as fair or well-paid in certain roles, and the overall package is sometimes framed as “excellent compensation” when pay and benefits are considered together. Pay competitiveness appears strongest in investment-focused groups and in higher-cost markets.
-
Wellbeing & Lifestyle Benefits — Non-pension benefits are described as strong in areas like wellness and mental health support, alongside lifestyle allowances and paid-time-off features. These elements add perceived value beyond base salary and bonus.
