About The Position

Bully Pulpit International (BPI) is seeking a Creative Technologist who thrives at the intersection of creative storytelling, video production, and emerging technology. As BPI integrates AI into its creative processes, this role will serve as the resident expert, practitioner, and champion for generative AI tools. This is a hands-on, hybrid role focused on guiding the discovery, testing, implementation, and adoption of AI tools across Creative and Production teams. Responsibilities include executing client work, building prototypes, establishing governance, and developing AI capabilities into client offerings.

Requirements

10+ years of creative and technology experience in filmmaking, advertising agency, or content creation environments.
Deep practical fluency with modern generative AI platforms across video (Runway Enterprise, Sora, Luma, Pika), image synthesis (Adobe Firefly, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion/ComfyUI), and audio (ElevenLabs), alongside general AI models (Gemini, ChatGPT).
Exceptional aesthetic standards for storytelling and the ability to discern when an AI output genuinely elevates the narrative versus when it distracts from the campaign goal.
Solid grounding in traditional filmmaking techniques and/or post-production software (Adobe Creative Cloud, Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, or Resolve).
Enthusiasm for teaching, mentoring, and translating complex technical tools into plain language for creatives, producers, account leads, and clients.
Applications without a portfolio showing AI-driven creative projects will not be considered.

Responsibilities

Partner with Creative Directors, Art Directors, Copywriters, Producers, and Video Editors to develop and execute AI-driven and hybrid concepts for public affairs campaigns, brand reputation ads, and social impact content.
Lead generation across video, image, motion, and audio, combining generative AI tools with traditional post-production (editorial, motion graphics, VFX, and color finishing) to produce broadcast- and digital-quality assets.
Build concept films, storyboards, and animatics to close the “imagination gap” before hero production begins.
Partner with Creative and Production leadership to package AI and hybrid production capabilities into paid client offerings.
Drive agency-wide capability building by leading hands-on training and workshops for the broader Creative and Production teams.
Evaluate emerging AI tools, models, and platforms (across video, image, audio, and agentic workflows).
