About The Position

As Director of AI Innovation, you will work directly with the three leaders and owners of the business on a rare opportunity to shape an agency from the inside out. You will identify where AI can sharpen thinking, elevate creative output, and unlock new capabilities across business development, client services, creative operations, and the back office. This is not an engineering role. It is a role for someone who knows the landscape deeply, moves fast, and understands when to build, when to buy, and when to bring in the right outside talent to get it done.

Requirements

You have real, hands-on experience deploying AI tools and automations in a business setting, not experimenting in isolation but driving measurable change across teams and functions.
You have a sharp, current point of view on the AI landscape and can move quickly from insight to implementation, knowing when to build, when to use an off-the-shelf solution, and when to bring in outside technical talent to execute.
You are as comfortable in a room with a CEO as you are configuring a new automation, and you know how to translate complex technical possibilities into language and outcomes that resonate with a creative, business-minded team.

Responsibilities

Build and Deploy AI Tools Across the Business — you will identify opportunities across business development, client services, operations, HR, and finance to implement AI-powered workflows and automations that reduce friction and increase output.
Lead AI Adoption Agency-Wide — you will serve as the internal champion for AI, educating and enabling the team to confidently use emerging tools in their day-to-day work, running working sessions and building documentation as needed.
Manage the AI Tool Stack — you will evaluate, select, and maintain the agency's AI infrastructure, including tools for outreach, content, research, project management, and internal operations, staying ahead of what is new and relevant.
Develop New Business Applications — you will work closely with leadership to build AI-driven capabilities that support prospecting, proposal generation, and client engagement, turning manual processes into scalable systems.
Stay Ahead of the Curve — you will continuously monitor the AI landscape for tools, techniques, and platforms that are relevant to agency operations and client work, bringing recommendations and a point of view to leadership on a regular basis.
