Creative Technologist (AI Ads, Filmmaking, and Storytelling)
About The Position
Bully Pulpit International (BPI) is seeking a Creative Technologist to join their team. This role is for someone who excels at the intersection of creative storytelling, video production, and emerging technology. As BPI transitions into an AI-enabled creative agency, this individual will serve as the resident expert, practitioner, and champion for generative AI within the Creative team. This is a hands-on, hybrid role focused on guiding the discovery, testing, implementation, and adoption of generative AI tools. Responsibilities include executing client work, building rapid prototypes, establishing responsible governance, and developing AI capabilities into client offerings. The starting salary range is $125,000 - $165,000, with an annual bonus. The role requires working on-site in SF, NYC, DC, or CHI at least 3 days a week.
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.
- A portfolio showing AI-driven creative projects is required.
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).
Benefits
- 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) program with employer match up to 4%
- Generous time off for vacation
- $50 monthly phone reimbursement
- Unlimited sick time
- 16 weeks of paid leave for new parents
