In this pivotal role, you will partner closely with internal teams to analyze processes, uncover pain points, map out opportunities, apply technical strategy, and deliver solutions for AI transformation.

While generative AI will be a core focus, your toolbox will also include automation technologies and process/workflow optimization.

Key Responsibilities:

• Represent the Digitas AI team to internal partners, stakeholders, and clients.
• Partner with internal teams and SMEs to deliver AI solutions for agency teams such as Strategy, Data and Analysis, Media, Experience Design, Project Management, Social and our cross-capability client suites (Total Commerce, CRM, Creative Experience).
• Drive the discovery and delivery of AI-powered projects using our generative AI platform.
• Collaborate with Product Managers, engineers, and stakeholders to translate business needs into clear technical requirements and actionable tasks.
• Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams to ideate, develop, and launch new agents and experiences.
• Create agents and orchestrations on your own and in collaboration with SMEs and engineers
• Provide hands-on technical oversight, troubleshooting, and problem-solving as new features and enhancements are developed.
• Help to shape intake, planning, and delivery processes that make work mature, scalable, sustainable, and impactful.

• Stay current with generative AI, MarTech, and related technologies to inform best practices and recommend improvements.

Who You Are:

• The owner of technical expertise and a deft interpersonal touch. You can go deep on MCP servers with an architect on Monday and the next day talk brand safety and creative concepting with a brand creative lead.
• An expert at balancing blue-sky ideation with real-world solutioning—and you know when to emphasize one versus the other.
• A top-notch presenter.
• Flexible, adaptable, and fluid.
• A subject matter expert in prompt engineering and generative AI best practices, offering hands-on guidance and training to clients to maximize the value of the platform.
