Golin is on a mission to become the first fully AI-integrated global communications agency. We are looking for a VP, AI Technology, to join our global AI leadership team and support our agency’s transformation, driving innovation and excellence in AI strategy and implementation.
The ideal candidate will bring expertise in AI and machine learning technologies, with experience designing and implementing both homegrown and third-party AI solutions, and a passion for leveraging AI to drive significant business outcomes for our agency and clients. Reporting to our Chief AI Officer (CAIO), you will help architect and implement a comprehensive, multi-year AI technology strategy to modernize Golin for the AI age.
You will collaborate with our existing tech partners such as Microsoft, Adobe, and niche providers to keep a close eye on product enhancements and ensure we’re getting the most from our existing AI investments. You will partner with IT, legal and other stakeholders from our parent company, Interpublic Group (NYSE: IPG), to help influence and take advantage of centralized AI solutions and strategic partnerships in the future.
And you’ll identify and evaluate startups and other emerging technology providers, creating a pipeline of partners who can help us put innovative solutions into the hands of our teams and clients faster, often without cumbersome and costly in-house development. We are looking for someone who can help us move quickly – and carefully – to make Golin’s use of AI technologies a sustainable competitive advantage and further accelerate our industry-leading work.
If you have a passion for solving marketing, PR and business challenges through creative application of technology, extensive knowledge of AI and how to implement it, and a collaborative make-it-happen working style, we want to talk with you.
Please note: We are looking for candidates ideally located in Chicago or New York.
