Director of AI Solutions

SketchDeck

14h • $140,000 - $170,000 • Remote

About The Position

SketchDeck is hiring a Director of AI Solutions to bring AI capabilities into its creative work and help clients and internal teams adopt effective AI tools and workflows. The role combines client consulting, hands-on solution design and development, experimentation, and ongoing research and knowledge sharing. The Director will work alongside creative and production leads: those leads own creative direction and design, while this role determines what AI can do, builds the solution, and helps present it to clients. A strong design eye and clear communication are important, as the role supports several leads at once.

During the first six months, approximately half of the role’s time will be spent leading AI transformation for an enterprise client. This includes quarterly trips to Houston, Texas, with two nights per trip. The role reports to the VP, Creative Impact. The stated responsibility allocation is a starting point and will be reviewed after six months.

Responsibilities are divided across client development (25%), tools to enhance existing work (35%), experimentation and one-time projects (25%), and research and sharing with the SketchDeck team (15%). The role is remote in a flexible, remote-first environment and requires availability during U.S. business hours.

Requirements

• At least 6 years of experience working with creative teams or in agency environments.
• A portfolio or demonstrations of AI work built, including how it was built.
• Hands-on experience with AI tools for image, video, text, and prototyping, as well as light development using prompting, low-code, no-code, or AI-assisted building.
• A strong design eye and working knowledge of Figma, Canva, and Adobe Creative Suite.
• Experience redesigning work processes around AI and a clear understanding of where AI is appropriate, including when it is not.
• Comfort consulting with clients and training teams in new ways of working.
• Awareness of legal and client-permission questions related to AI in creative work.
• Self-direction, curiosity, comfort with shifting priorities, and ability to support several leads at once.
• Availability during U.S. business hours.
• Ability to travel quarterly to Houston, Texas, for two-night trips during the first six months.

Responsibilities

• Consult with clients about their current approaches and identify opportunities to apply AI to creative work.
• Advise clients on how their brand systems may need to change for AI and prototype AI-ready brand systems that tools can be trained on.
• Define client AI governance, including usage guidelines, approval flows, and brand safeguards.
• Build small client-facing tools and apps, such as an on-brand social asset builder.
• Pressure-test ideas for new offerings with the Design Director and turn successful ideas into repeatable, documented offerings.
• Join new-business and pursuit calls as the AI subject-matter voice and explain how AI fits into a roadmap.
• Map client and internal workflows and identify which workstreams are ready for AI now, later, or not at all.
• Build and test AI workflows for design exploration, variations, and templated systems on live accounts.
• Work with Design Directors, Production Directors, and Project Managers to identify workflows likely to be adopted and conduct regular check-ins on embedded programs.
• Set up shared prompt and asset libraries and document workflows for designers to use independently.
• Track time saved by each workflow to assess its value.
• Assess ideas from Design and Production Directors, communicate feasibility early, and build relevant solutions quickly.
• Develop new formats, including interactive experiences, AI video, and playable pieces.
• Build and present AI concepts for new-business pitches.
• Provide hands-on technical execution for live projects that need it.
• Continuously explore AI tools and share relevant findings with the team through demos, recordings, posts, and internal sessions.
• Maintain a living record of what works, what does not, and what has been tried.
• Train client teams on new AI tools and workflows and advise them on what AI can and cannot do for their brands.

Benefits

• 401(k) with company match.
• Fully remote working environment.
• Paid time off that grows with tenure.
• Annual company retreat.
• Computer hardware of the employee’s choice, up to $2,500.
