About the job

Skylight is seeking an User Enablement Specialist to support a federal organization as it modernizes a suite of technology systems used nationwide to deliver critical services.

This role is embedded within a growing ecosystem of modern digital products that are replacing legacy platforms at a program within the Administration for Children and Families. The specialist will ensure users across government staff, service providers, and partner organizations can successfully adopt new tools, workflows, and ways of working — with minimal disruption and maximum impact.

This is a hands-on enablement role at the intersection of training, service delivery, user support, and product development. You’ll work closely with product teams, government stakeholders, and end users to translate complex systems into usable, well-supported experiences.

What you’ll do

• Own end-to-end enablement plans for launches and releases (onboarding, training, office hours, reinforcement)
• Design and deliver end-user onboarding strategies that support transitions from legacy systems to modern applications
• Develop onboarding and training materials grounded in real user workflows and jobs-to-be-done
• Provide hands-on support during product launches, major feature releases, and adoption milestones
• Plan and facilitate live and recorded training sessions for diverse user groups
• Create, maintain, and continuously update training assets (SOPs, guides, videos, walkthroughs) in plain language
• Maintain accessible, well-organized libraries of onboarding and training content for ongoing reference
• Coordinate user access provisioning, permissions, and readiness for training and UAT
• Run lightweight feedback loops across onboarding, training, releases, and UAT
• Synthesize user feedback into actionable insights, escalating recurring issues and critical blockers
• Collaborate with cross-functional product teams through agile ceremonies, demos, and planning to align adoption efforts
