If AI is the future, then this role is the future of our business. We’re on the hunt for a curious and creative thinker to lead the charge in exploring the incredible potential of AI in the creative space.
We’re looking for a passionate innovator; someone who thrives on pushing boundaries and sharing their discoveries with others. You’ll probably come from a creative background – graphic design, illustration, product design – and will have found that your passion lies in putting together the 'how' rather than creating the 'what’.
Your mission will be to uncover innovative ways to speed up and enrich design exploration and implementation, helping our team turn ideas into reality faster, better, and with more creative freedom. You’ll dive into the fast-evolving AI landscape, identifying the most exciting opportunities, rigorously testing their potential and inspiring the wider team with your findings.
This isn’t just about using AI – it’s about making AI irresistible, showing the team what’s possible and motivating them to explore its potential.
You’ll be the spark that fuels excitement and creativity across the agency. A perfect blend of collaborator and showstopper, you’ll know how to connect, communicate and captivate, turning complex AI concepts into something that everyone can get behind.
This is an extraordinary opportunity to ride the wave of cutting-edge technology, build expertise and become a voice of authority within one of the world’s most successful independent creative agencies.
