Colgate-Palmolive Company is a global consumer products company operating in over 200 countries specializing in Oral Care, Personal Care, Home Care, Skin Care, and Pet Nutrition. Our products are trusted in more households than any other brand in the world, making us a household name!

Join Colgate-Palmolive, a caring, innovative growth company reimagining a healthier future for people, their pets, and our planet. Guided by our core values—Caring, Inclusive, and Courageous—we foster a culture that inspires our people to achieve common goals. Together, let's build a brighter, healthier future for all.

Hill’s Pet Nutrition is seeking a pioneering AI Creative Technologist to lead the integration of artificial intelligence into our creative workflows. This role on the Strategic Creative Services team is for a true hybrid innovator who sits at the intersection of creative strategy, design, and emerging technology.

Ideally, you have a proven track record in a fast-paced creative agency or studio environment, working as a proper creative technologist to bridge the gap between imagination and execution. You will be responsible for architecting, building, and maintaining agentic AI systems that will empower our team of copywriters, designers, and video artists, ensuring Hill's remains at the forefront of marketing innovation.

• Train, mentor, and inspire creative team members on best practices for leveraging AI tools in their daily conceptual and production workflows.
• Stay relentlessly current with the latest advancements in generative AI, large language models, and creative technology, rapidly prototyping new ideas to act as a key innovation advisor to the business.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, AI, or related field
• 3+ years of deep, hands-on experience with major generative AI platforms, APIs, and large language models (LLMs)
• 2+ years of experience working directly within a creative agency or fast-paced production studio as a dedicated Creative Technologist

• Proven track record of developing and implementing new systems (ideally within an advertising agency,…
