  • Design the knowledge architecture that structures customer insights, brand voice, audience context, messaging frameworks, and campaign intelligence for real-time access by AI agents and content generation systems. Define how marketing expertise is stored, retrieved, and applied so that AI produces strategically sound, not just grammatically correct, output
  • Identify and recommend high-impact opportunities where AI can improve content quality, consistency, speed, and strategic alignment
  • Establish governance guardrails, evaluation frameworks, and quality controls that ensure AI-generated content meets organizational standards while enabling scalable operating models
  • Serve as a thought leader and advisor on the future of AI-enabled content strategy, helping to shape organizational direction and investment decisions

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Strong understanding of generative AI capabilities, limitations, governance considerations, and implementation patterns
  • Experience defining requirements or shaping product roadmaps for AI, content technology, or marketing automation platforms as a non-engineering stakeholder

  • Experience developing strategic plans and driving them through to implementation with measurable outcomes
  • Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
  • Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
  • Experience with AI agent architectures, marketing knowledge systems, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) patterns that enable AI to access brand, audience, and messaging context when generating content
  • Deep familiarity with content lifecycle management, content governance, and content quality evaluation frameworks
  • Experience in establishing measurement frameworks for AI effectiveness, content quality, and strategic alignment
  • Experience operating in large, matrixed organizations with shared ownership of technology platforms
