Present AI capabilities clearly and confidently, guiding senior clients and agency leaders through opportunity framing, first-stage ideation and early solution scoping. Field preliminary technical questions about generative AI tools, proprietary platforms and AI service design with fluency and confidence.
  • Bring structure to our agentic future. Own agentic workflow mapping and intelligent design interviews (IDIs), transforming service aspirations into actionable and repeatable frameworks. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to evaluate existing and future workflows, pinpoint automation opportunities, and map “agentic” paths to delivery.

  • Proven experience navigating cross-functional environments, especially with technical and product development teams.
  • Familiarity with intelligent agent design, agentic workflows, and/or service blueprints is highly desirable.
  • Ability to communicate clearly in decks, meetings, and whiteboard sessions—making complex tech accessible to all levels.

  • You can vibe code a prototype when inspiration strikes

  • Keep Halo at the core. Ensure our new and improved secure AI workspace, Halo, is known as the safest—and easiest — place for colleagues to employ AI to elevate their work. Curate top use-cases, gather user feedback, share insights to inform fast-moving and longer-term roadmap and employee learning programs
  • Flex and pivot at the speed of tech. Monitor new platforms, tools and workflows to contribute to discussions about the applications and implications of AI on our work.
  • Support I/O strategic initiatives (20%). Jump into other I/O priorities including new service pilots, market visibility programs and innovation sprints when extra lift is needed.

You’ll thrive here if you

  • Are immersed in emerging tech—its possibilities and implications—and can explain it in plain English.
  • Believe that utilizing secure, responsible AI is a competitive edge—and have ideas for proving it daily.
  • Think “application” before “theory,” transforming complex tools and workflows into how-to’s that colleagues can tailor to a range of tasks/deliverables
  • Flex from big-room storytelling to nuts-and-bolts project plans without losing momentum (or sense of humor!)
  • Treat change as your natural habitat, pivoting with curiosity and discipline as new platforms, ways of working and priorities emerge

Must-have chops

  • 8-10+ years leading innovation, employee engagement, learning or change-management programs—ideally in communications, marketing or a tech-forward environment.
  • Hands-on familiarity with Gen AI platforms and a clear POV on responsible use.
  • Demonstrated success building integrated content ecosystems that boost engagement and adoption (i.e. immersive workshops, live and virtual trainings, office hours, demos, community channels, etc.)
  • Credibility to partner with senior leaders and entry-level AI natives alike, and excitement to collaborate with and inspire doers at every level.
  • Fluency in measurement and storytelling with data, turning insights into action.
  • Bonus: experience introducing proprietary tech platforms at scale.
