This is where you come in. As our Director of Marketing Technology & Gen-AI Solutions, you'll be the strategic architect who transforms how we consult, design, and deliver for clients. You will be a trusted advisor to senior marketing executives—auditing tech stacks, mapping AI opportunities, and steering the adoption of transformative technologies that deliver ROI across creative, media, and strategy operations for clients.

If you're energized by the intersection of cutting-edge AI, marketing technology, and client transformation—and you want the autonomy to shape a region-wide capability—this role offers unparalleled impact.

Client Strategy & Advisory

  • Act as the senior subject matter expert and consultant for OLIVER’s top 10-15 APAC client accounts on all things Gen-AI and Martech.

  • Own end-to-end delivery of transformation projects, ensuring on-time, on-budget, high-quality execution.
  • Support RFP responses, new business pitches, and high-stakes client presentations on Gen-AI and MarTech topics, representing Oliver's technical credibility.

Training & Enablement

  • Design and deliver executive workshops and training for client & internal teams on Gen-AI leverage, AI literacy, Martech capabilities and emerging technology trends.
  • Build scalable frameworks for AI-powered solutions that OLIVER can operationalize internally.

Innovation & Thought Leadership

  • Continuously track emerging AI, automation, and Martech trends; translate the latest advancements into actionable client opportunities.
  • Represent the agency in client-facing events, webinars, or industry forums as the Gen-AI/Martech spokesperson.

Governance & Best Practices

  • Develop and champion AI and Martech governance models for clients, supporting responsible adoption and risk management.
  • Ensure that all solutions meet client expectations for compliance, security, and ROI.

Measures of success:

  • Achieve an AI/Martech client adoption rate of at least XX% across priority accounts within the first 12 months.
  • Drive a minimum of $XX incremental revenue from AI/Martech solutions, either through new client acquisition or service expansion within existing accounts.

  • Experience working in APAC markets (understanding regional nuances, client expectations, and cross-cultural communication is essential).
  • MarTech Platforms: Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Adobe Experience Cloud, HubSpot, Google Marketing Platform, or similar enterprise marketing automation tools.
  • Gen-AI Tools: OpenAI API, Anthropic Claude, Google Vertex AI, Midjourney, or other LLM/multimodal AI platforms applied to marketing use cases.

OLIVER, a part of the Brandtech Group, is an equal opportunity employer committed to creating an inclusive working environment where all employees are encouraged to reach their full potential, and individual differences are valued and respected. All applicants shall be considered for employment without regard to race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, neurodivergence, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by local laws.    

 OLIVER has set ambitious environmental goals around sustainability, with science-based emissions reduction targets. Collectively, we work towards our mission, embedding sustainability into every department and through every stage of the project lifecycle.

OLIVER provides clients with dedicated agencies. We do this because we believe the traditional agency model is not fit for the speed of modern marketing. Businesses want, and rightly demand, the same quality of strategic and creative thinking the traditional agency provides, but at a speed that befits how they now work.   The traditional agency outside-in model means that huge quantities of time are wasted in the back and forth and linear processes between agencies and clients. OLIVER agencies come to the client, live inside their office and solve their problems collaboratively.   OLIVER agencies are strategic and creative, whilst being agile and adaptive. They cover the full range of integrated marketing, but at the speed that businesses now demand. We allow our clients to work in real time. Creating better work, at pace.
