About The Position

TopStitch is Stitch’s early-career developmental program, designed to develop AI-enabled professionals at the intersection of AI, marketing, and technology. Participants join a small cohort of 2–3 peers and complete four weeks of intensive onboarding covering Stitch, the martech ecosystem, AI tools and frameworks, and client-delivery fundamentals. After onboarding, participants apply their skills to live client engagements, with continuing support and focused learning as the company’s capabilities evolve. The program is designed to help reshape consulting through the use of AI tools and automation. This is a full-time, in-person role based in Stitch’s downtown Indianapolis office. Participants work with project teams and clients, initially in partnership with senior team members, and are expected to begin contributing to client projects after four weeks and drive independent client communications and deliverables within eight weeks. The role includes exposure to enterprise data models, technology stacks, and marketing platforms; building fluency in Braze and Databricks; completing certifications at defined milestones; and creating reusable internal resources. Participants are expected to manage their time to meet billable targets of 36 or more hours per week. The program is led by Stitch’s Indianapolis-based TopStitch lead and Head of Solution Delivery, with day-to-day guidance from a local manager and support from the Stitch Talent Team. Candidates must live in or be willing to relocate to Indianapolis before their start date and be eligible to work in the United States without visa sponsorship now or in the future.
