AI & Emerging Technology Lead

AI & Emerging Technology Specialist

**New York Hybrid Marketing & Advertising Agency**

We’re partnering with an independent marketing agency looking for a technically curious AI & Emerging Technology Specialist to help explore how new technology can change the way marketing work gets done.

This isn’t a traditional software engineering role, and we’re not looking for someone who has spent their career training machine-learning models.

We’re looking for a builder and experimenter — someone who understands the marketing and agency world, gets excited by what’s happening across AI, automation and data, and wants to turn that technology into practical tools that people actually use.

You’ll sit at the intersection of AI, marketing, data and technology, working across the agency to identify opportunities, prototype solutions and help bring the best ideas into everyday client and internal workflows.

You’ll have plenty of freedom to explore, experiment and build.

That could mean:

• Prototyping AI-powered tools and workflows for agency and client teams
• Exploring LLMs, agents and emerging AI platforms and identifying where they can genuinely add value
• Connecting platforms, data sources and applications through APIs and automation
• Building solutions that remove repetitive manual work and make teams faster and smarter
• Working with marketing data across analytics, CRM, websites, media and reporting platforms
• Developing dashboards, reporting tools and automated workflows
• Testing new technologies quickly and turning promising experiments into usable solutions
• Partnering with strategists, marketers, analysts, creatives and technical teams to solve real business problems
• Helping the agency develop its approach to AI and emerging technology as the landscape evolves

What we’re looking for

We’re deliberately open-minded about your exact job title. You might currently work in marketing technology, marketing analytics, data technology, automation, digital technology, marketing science or technical product. What matters more is that you’ve spent time within or alongside a marketing, advertising or digital agency and can demonstrate things you’ve actually built.

Ideally, you’ll bring experience across several of the following:

• Generative AI tools and LLMs such as OpenAI, Claude or Gemini
• AI-assisted workflows, agents or automation
• APIs and connecting different platforms/data sources
• Marketing analytics and digital measurement
• CRM, marketing automation or customer data platforms
• SQL and/or Python
• GA4, GTM or similar analytics technology
• BI and visualisation platforms
• Cloud/data environments
• Low-code/no-code automation tools

You don’t need to tick every box. We’re much more interested in someone who can say “I saw a problem, experimented with a few approaches and built something that solved it” than somebody who simply knows every platform on the list.

You’ll probably enjoy this role if…

You’re the person who tries the new tool before everyone else.

You like figuring out how things work, connecting systems together and finding better ways of doing things. You’re comfortable getting your hands dirty, but can also explain what you’ve built to people who aren’t technical.

Most importantly, you’re genuinely excited about what AI could mean for marketing and agencies.
