  • Drive adoption of AI tools and workflows across Creative and Production teams.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Deliver Client Work: Partner with Creative Directors, Art Directors, Copywriters, Producers, and Video Editors to develop and execute AI-driven and hybrid concepts for public affairs campaigns, brand reputation ads, and social impact content.
  • Hands-On AI Filmmaking: Lead generation across video, image, motion, and audio, combining generative AI tools with traditional post-production (editorial, motion graphics, VFX, and color finishing) to produce broadcast- and digital-quality assets.
  • Pre-Production: Build concept films, storyboards, and animatics to close the “imagination gap” before hero production begins.
  • Productize AI-Enabled Creative Offerings: Partner with Creative and Production leadership to package AI and hybrid production capabilities into paid client offerings.
  • Lead Creative Team Adoption: Drive agency-wide capability building by leading hands-on training and workshops for the broader Creative and Production teams.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of creative and technology experience in filmmaking, advertising agency, or content creation environments.
  • Proven Hands-On GenAI Mastery: Deep practical fluency with modern generative AI platforms across video (Runway Enterprise, Sora, Luma, Pika), image synthesis (Adobe Firefly, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion/ComfyUI), and audio (ElevenLabs), alongside general AI models (Gemini, ChatGPT).
  • Strong Creative Judgment: Exceptional aesthetic standards for storytelling and the ability to discern when an AI output genuinely elevates the narrative versus when it distracts from the campaign goal.
  • Technical Filmmaking and/or Post-Production Skills: Solid grounding in traditional filmmaking techniques and/or post-production software (Adobe Creative Cloud, Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, or Resolve).
  • Collaborative Mindset: Enthusiasm for teaching, mentoring, and translating complex technical tools into plain language for creatives, producers, account leads, and clients.
  • Applications without a portfolio showing AI-driven creative projects will not be considered.

Benefits

  • BPI offers a wide range of benefits to U.S.-based employees, including 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) program with employer match up to 4%, generous time off for vacation, $50 monthly phone reimbursement, unlimited sick time, and 16 weeks of paid leave for new parents.
