About The Position

We’re looking for a full-time Senior AI Design Strategist to join the Marketing Design team. If you’re passionate about design and energized by building smarter, more scalable ways to deliver creative work, then you’ll feel right at home here. In this role, you’ll help evolve how we produce and scale marketing creative by leveraging generative AI tools to streamline production, expand creative possibilities, and elevate deliverable quality. You’ll be responsible for building repeatable systems, workflows, and guardrails that enable our team to produce high-performing, platform-optimized creative efficiently — without sacrificing craft, strategic intent, or brand integrity. You are a strong designer first — with the curiosity and technical fluency to experiment, refine processes, and teach others how to work with AI responsibly and effectively. You understand digital marketing, work well with others, and know how to keep momentum going throughout a project.

• Hands-on experience using generative AI tools for design and video production, and the ability to integrate them into a real-world creative production workflow.
• Strong ability to build repeatable systems, processes, and documentation — including prompt structures, style references, asset templates, libraries, and QA standards that support scalability and consistency.
• Strong understanding of integrated digital marketing and the role creative plays in performance across channels.
• Exceptional communication and organizational skills — able to articulate design thinking, workflow strategy, and quality standards to both creative and non-creative audiences.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain brand consistency across assets, platforms, and formats.
• Strong desire to learn new skills and continue career growth, with a habit of experimentation and knowledge sharing.
• Ability to work both independently and in a collaborative team environment.
• 5+ years of digital design experience (marketing agency experience preferred).

• Own and evolve AI workflows and production systems — including prompt libraries, reusable templates, tool guides, QA standards, and scalable processes that increase output and consistency across projects.
• Partner with Paid Media and Strategy teams to support performance creative needs, including developing modular creative systems and creating variation frameworks to increase testing velocity across channels (Meta, TikTok, YouTube, Display, etc.).
• Evaluate, select, and maintain AI tools for team use based on usability, functionality, cost, and workflow alignment, ensuring intuitive adoption and meaningful impact on creative output and efficiency.
• Apply and audit a toolkit for generative AI tools (e.g., Midjourney, Firefly, Runway, ChatGPT, Sora, etc.) to enhance ideation and production — ensuring outputs are high-quality, visually consistent, and aligned to brand.

• Lead ongoing improvement of internal AI enablement resources including onboarding documentation, training modules, team templates, and recommended toolkits.
• Track engagement and performance data (in partnership with marketing teams) to iterate on creative systems and improve what we produce based on real channel outcomes.
• Stay current with social media trends, AI tools, platform updates, and evolving standards around ethical and responsible AI use in creative production.
