+ Lead the practice of creative prompt engineering, developing sophisticated, context-aware prompts to guide AI models and ensure high-quality, on-brand creative outputs.

+ Collaborate closely with creative, marketing and AI leadership to identify opportunities where AI can solve business challenges, automate repetitive tasks, and unlock new creative expressions.

+ Establish and manage a robust quality control process for all AI-enabled systems and content, ensuring accuracy, brand consistency, and ethical use.

+ Train, mentor, and inspire creative team members on best practices for leveraging AI tools in their daily conceptual and production workflows.
