TCS Interactive is seeking a hands-on Generative AI Evangelist to join our newly launched design studio in New York City. This role is at the intersection of creativity, technology, and strategy, bringing together AI, design thinking, and marketing innovation to redefine how brands engage with customers.

You will be responsible for architecting AI-native creative processes, leading design-led workshops, and prototyping innovative solutions that leverage Generative AI for marketing and experience transformation. You'll collaborate with multidisciplinary teams-including designers, developers, strategists, business leaders, and both internal and external clients-to conceive, design, and implement AI-native workflows and experiences. Your work will help transform studio and TCS interactive operations, while also supporting clients in reimagining how they work.

This is a client-facing and hands-on role requiring both technical acumen and creative leadership. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable discussing AI architecture and conducting a design thinking workshop with CMOs, creative directors, and tech/innovation leads.

Strong understanding of AI workflows, prompt engineering, and agentic design for creative and marketing contexts.

Demonstrated experience leading cross-functional teams-designers, developers, and strategists-in developing AI-driven prototypes and solutions.

Familiarity with design thinking, creative strategy, and rapid prototyping methodologies.

Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with experience presenting to executive and client audiences.

Based full-time in New York City and willing to work onsite at the TCS Interactive Design Studio.
